007's Planet Ocean
I've noticed Daniel Craig sporting this Planet Ocean in Casino Royale and in the new Quantum of Solace...or is it the smaller 42mm version? It looks a bit smaller on his wrist than if it were a 45mm. Does anyone know? Does anyone have this watch or can you point me to a good review on it.In any event, it is one helluva a tough looking watch and one I'm thinking about wearing myself.

Patek or Audemars?? Decisions...decisions!!
First, let me start by saying, this is NOT a which watch is better post. Obviously, the best is very subjective and very personalized to ones taste. Instead, I am just curious as to which piece you would purchase if you were to chose between only these two watches.The first is the classic Patek Phillipe Calatrava. This is no doubt a classic and an icon. Unbelievable craftsmanship and a piece that will certainly be passed down from generations to generations.The second choice is equally impressive. This is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in Rose Gold. This piece is unmistakable and is pure luxury. The fit and finish on the AP is near perfect and the presence on the wrist is second to none. This is equally an heirloom that will be passed from generation to generation in a family.So, which would you chose? Both have approximately the same price tag and each offer the same features (3 hands and a date function). There is no question that each is as near perfection as you could ever

First Panerai - Thanks, Thanh!
I just received my first Panerai and am already looking to order more straps. Thanh (aka Takuya on TRF) was a great help assisting me with getting it.PAM48.jpg

Tapered vs Non-Tapered
Does a Non-Tapered strap make a 44mm PAM feel smaller versus a Tapered strap?What do you think?
