TechnoMarine Watches Back On The Block
The build up was intense. Months of teasers and speculation to see what new CEO of TechnoMarine Vincent Perriard would do to the brand that desperately needed a refresh. At the same time, Perriard only had a few months because he was new to the brand - fresh out of his seat at Concord. His task was to release new watches for Baselworld 2010 to be interesting enough for people to notice the brand again. Not an easy task, especially given the molasses like pace of the watch industry. The middle of March was the proving ground - would the new collection have enough appeal to convince enough people the brand was? worth paying attention to again.In the 1990s TechnoMarine was a big deal because it was another "mold breaking" brand.

Strap refinishing
Question... is it possible to get a strap refinished? my original Hornback on my safari as some strange color runs in it. The leather itself is perfect and not cracked or worn its like the prvious owners sweat has darkened all the edges and a 1/4 way across each side.I have an aftermarket one that came with it as well but i like to keep all my stuff OE spec. I also cannot justify the price of a new one... that is just taking the piss for some leather when you put into perspective a pair of expensive leather shoes arent much more lol!Am i being a tightass or is it possible to have it refinished?

Speedy Pro 3873.50.31
I have been interested in buying a speedy pro for a long time but never really researched which watch would best suit me. I'm pretty sure I will go with the sapphire sandwich with the croc band and may go out today to do some pricing. Generally speaking, what percentage off list should I be looking for or around what price should I have in mind so I don't get scammed by an AD. I am pretty unfamiliar with purchasing an Omega so any advice would be appreciated!

Has PP ever made a Nautilus no date? I think it would look awesome with the blue dial. What does everyone think?

New guy here thinking about a 372
Hello everyone, I am a current Rolex wearer, thinking of buying a PAM 372. I have had a few Panerai models over the years, never stuck with one for long, but, I like the idea of the plexiglass and vintage look.I have good sized wrists...7.75 relatively flat, and have tried one on and like it a lot. Thinking of trading my submariner for one.
