Stallone Wears Panerai Luminor Regatta in The Expendables
In his new movie The Expendables, Sylvester Stallone wears the Panerai Luminor 1950 Regatta Rattrapante (PAM332). Panerai will produce only 500 examples of the chronometer-certified special limited edition, which features a split-second chronograph that counts down the 5 minutes to the start of a yacht race. The DLC-treated Luminor case measures 44mm in diameter, and DLC treatment has also been extended to the three buttons, winding crown and trademark lever bridge which protects the crown and ensures its watertight seal. Waterproof to 100 meters or 10 bar, this watch has a screw-down back plate which is burnished and engraved with the logo of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, along with the edition year and the model’s identifying numbers and production number. The Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge brings together magnificent yachts from days gone by, restored to their former glory and ready to do battle in a series of regattas on an international circuit, with stages in the

Chopard L.U.C XPS Poin?on de Gen��ve Watch Has Personality
When you create a limited edition watch of just 25 pieces in platinum you are basically creating a perfect "my timepiece is still cooler than yours" watch. Chopard's L.U.C XPS is a simple dress watch, but it is one of my favs, and in addition to having a sexy design it has a lot of horological bragging rights. Now that the piece has the Geneva Seal on it - that new tougher to get Geneva Seal - any watchianado can say, "screw your AP, this guy here was built in the canton of Geneva - and according to some prissy Swiss official, it has superlative bridge polishing. Shit, that type of polishing is extra expensive around here."The benefits of the Seal of Geneva (ahem, "Poin?on de Gen��ve") are obvious to people like me, and perhaps you, but I just realized how utterly esoteric the concept would be to most people. Imagine a salesperson trying to explain it to some average Rolex buyer at a shopping mall. Awkward hilarity would ensue. Brands like Omega have sort of figured it out when they thr

5140p-017 vs. 5140p-013
These are the two 5140p references available at ADs (or soon-to-be available):The 017 is the 2016 release, with charcoal gray sunburst dial.The 013 is the black dial with diamond markers.Is the new 017 the clear winner here? Which do you prefer and why?Thanks in advance!

I think it's a contest between these 2
SIHH 2016 is imo not a bad year for paneraiNot too many LE, not too many complications cause imo Panerai doesn't need complicationsThe 'set' with the black one and the other with white-blue dial is nice but at 20K insane expensiveI think the 2 pieces that will get the most attention are the 662 and 663RADIOMIR 1940 3 DAYS ACCIAIO - 47MMPAM00662Unique edition of 1000 unitsMovement Hand-wound mechanical, P.3000 calibre, executed entirely by Panerai, 16? lignes, 5.3 mm thick, 21 jewels, Glucydur? balance, 21,600 alternations/hour.

Opinions on this trade?
Hi All,I got a black LN and its a great watch and currently its my only Rolex but ultimately I have had this watch a couple of times now and it's getting pretty boring.I am contemplating trading it for a 16613 Blue 2005 with box and papers (my LN is just the watch itself)Do you think I should do it? The 16613 is one of the few watches I have never had before. I do prefer the 6 digit bluesy but don't currently have the funds for it. I am 36 so have no qualms about wearing 2 tone.I have worn plenty of 5 digit references before in the past so it won't be a shock really to back to a 5 digit reference.Opinions welcome. I think with XMAS coming up - just got the Christmas itch to buy something but I do wonder with the market the way it is, sticking with SS is the way forward.Thanks All.
