Corum Chronograph Tourbillon 47 Seafender: How The Admiral's Cup Lost Its Rank
My favorite family of watches in the current collection of Corum products is the Admirals' Cup. Based on a now defunct boat race, the original Admiral's Cup watch began in the 1980s and was the original yachting watch to wear on or off deck with your boating shoes and skipper cap. What has marked the Admiral's Cup collection for so long is the 12-sided case and the use of colorful boat pennant flags on the hour markers. The latter has been mostly depreciated as the colors no longer exist on most new Admiral's Cup watches. Many new Admiral's Cup watches are still rather cool. However, with watches like the Chronograph Tourbillon 47 Seafender (that in its own way is interesting) I feel like the original theme and personality of the Admiral's Cup collection has officially been thrown overboard.We actually debuted the Seafender versions of the Admiral's Cup watches when the Seafender 47 Tourbillon GMT was released in 2011. At 47mm wide, Corum decided it was fitting in the yacht watch colle

Is Cal. 8500 that much better than the 2500?
Hi guys,Newby to the forum and, not really a watch collector or anything, but I have inherited a healthy respect for an accurate watch from my dear departed Dad.I am wanting an Omega automatic and cannot quite seem to decide between a PO 2201.50 and the new AT with the 8500 movement.I have decided that I like the looks of the PO better than the AT (though I am worried it might be way bigger than I am used to) but from everything I have read, the Cal. 8500 is the superior movement.So, the question I put to this group is this;Would you choose movement over aesthetics or the other way around?Stuck on the horns of a dilemma as to whether to choose the PO with 2500 or go with the less attractive (to my eye) AT because of the superior movement.Thanks in advance for your thoughts on the topic.DrumEdit: Second question, for those who have both... is the PO significantly bigger than the AT (231.10.39.21.06.001)? I have tried the AT and found it comfortable, but all the shop had when I was th

5712 love
Well the title says it all, after having it for 3 months, having been 1 month on vacation without it, I realize every day how awesome this watch is, my personal opinion of course but I must say I really love it, love the complications of moon phase and power reserve, love the bracelet, the movement with mini rotor.As some of you might remember about 5-6 months ago I knew about Patek but didn't really know why they were so expensive, and many of you answered me saying the quality, finition of the pieces were made to perfection, and I am glad I started to have interest towards PP, because yes the pieces are amazing.There is a big chance that I will only have 1 Patek, maybe at the maximum 2, probably the 5167 one day, but if only 1 I am glad to have the 5712, Patek with a funky dial display and a great grey/blue dial.So thanks to those who opened my eyes to the Patek world, like Morpheus tells Neo in the Matrix: welcome to the real world, I guess when you come into Patek and a few other w
