Baume & Mercier Clifton GMT
It is no surprise that the Baume & Mercier Clifton collection has garnered universal praise. The essential ingredients of this line of watches are restrained classical looks, combined with an understated elegance. While the trend of making funky watches with unusual time telling?displays?continues unabated, sometimes, all we want is a stylish and timeless design that just feels right.The Clifton Collection hits the mark on all these scores, and this is telling as it was inspired by a piece that the company made during the 1950's. Obviously, certain design work?resonates deeply and all the more, even after 60 years. I would certainly recommend that you hold any watch from this collection in your hand should you get the chance to, and marvel at the way the whole package is so balanced and beautiful.I mean, just look at the shape of the case and the way the roundness flows into the lugs. The crown is similarly well proportioned, retaining functionality, but being small enough to not d

Future SMP models
Does anyone have an insight into what Omega might be doing next? I was considering buying an SMP Chronograph Titanium but this is apparently discontinued (it's still shown on the Omega site). I have found one at an AD but if a coaxial is planned for later release I'd rather wait. Secret inside info will greatly appreciated!

Aquanaut Or Daytona As Daily?
I am hoping some are familiar with both, but strong opinions about either one is great, too. I used to own a white dial Daytona, but didn't like the dial (loved the watch). I much prefer black dial. I will have enough money in a month or two to buy one or the other. I love both Patek and Rolex, but can't decide which of these I would rather have. I have been through the process so I'm not looking for help on how to decide.Rather, I am looking for your feelings and conclusions about the watches. Why do YOU prefer one over the other? I know there is much cross-interest for both Rolex and Patek, but I'm posting on both forums to capture the opinions of those who only like one but not the other (no need to post on both unless your schizophrenic like myself and I).Yes! This thread is about YOU and what YOU prefer and WHY! I will contemplate your thoughts, and apply them to my situation on my own.Thanks in advance!

New to me . . this little thing
Owner of many many Pams since early 2000s . . but lost the excitement with the brand (like many others have unfortunately). Also, decided that 47mm was not for me anymore and sold my last Pam 372 a year or so ago. Despite this I would always say Panerai is my favorite watch brand and the 372 was possibly my favorite watch I've owned. I'm not financially fortunate enough to keep lots of watches in a safe deposit, never to be worn, so it had to go. Anyway, moving on... I've always quite fancied the 512 since it came out. When I got the opportunity to have one at the right price I grabbed it. They are quite rare in the UK for some reason. Very few come up for sale. Enjoying wearing this one. So 'svelte', hardly know you have it on but still has enough Panerai presence. Loving the manual wind . . and then there's being back in the strap changing game !

Help - i ripped out the crown on my 210
Oh no, i wanted to set the time on my Rad 210 and pulled out the crown, like usual ... But it came out and I was holding the whole thing with stem in my hand ... I did put it back, screwed it closed then opened it again ... I could set the time and wind the watch ... It did not come out a second time after i put it back in ... Also i had to pull it again in order to set the time ...What now?It keeps the time, it ticks as normal ...How is the stem fitted usually?Thanks in advance for your comments.
