IWC For Prada Ref. 3708 Limited Edition Watch Available
I've often thought it odd that Prada is of the few luxury fashion brands out there that doesn't a nice watch collection. I mean they do have some branded watches, but they are nothing special. The brand is really missing out. This IWC watch is the next best thing, and is a damn good looking IWC watch based on it's GST series (whose case later made it to the first Aquatimer watch series).This is a very rare IWC for Prada limited edition watch that was released several years ago. There were only 2000 pieces, and they are hard to come by today. The original price was something like 8,000 Euros. This one on eBay is in basically mint condition and going for about half that. I'd like to think that this watch would look damn nice with an all black suit right?

New Releases for PCYC - PAM652, PAM653, PAM654
Not sure if you guys have seen these yet but what do you think about the new releases for the Panerai Classic Yacht Challenge? Looks like they took a lot of inspiration from the Radiomir 1940 chrono's from a few years back. The PAM652 is a 47mm Titanium Regatta Flyback while the PAM653 & PAM654 are 44mm Steel Versions with just the Flyback functionality.

From Vintage to WOW
Finally get to post a well look what happened on the way to the AD story!After many years with my 14060M i decided it was time to try something new so it went up for sale and found a new home. I've spent days trying to figure out what's next and nothing really stood out to me when compared to the crisp two liner sub. It's the quintessential everyday watch. Sometimes less is more!With the SS shortage everywhere I knew even trying an AD would be futile. Out of the three main AD's all had the air king and milgauss but it didn't really sing to me. Asking for a sub or GMT almost got me laughed at in one of them. I was told they've seen two in the last two months. This is all in Scottsdale btw...After almost getting laughed at asking for a GMT (and an aquanaut) and being told having established history would help I booked it over to a lunch spot and decided to try an AD that I knew had subs in the past couple months.Sure enough nothing in the display counter and after telling my sub (sob) st
