Introducing: The Montblanc Heritage Chronometrie Annual Calendar Chronograph, A Very Serious Watch F
Today is the first working day of the year so we'd thought we'd hit you with something hot to get things going for 2016. This is the brand new Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Annual Calendar Chronograph, and it's beautiful. It'll be officially unveiled two weeks from today at SIHH 2016 but we have some preliminary details today, and man, I think this could actually be in the running for my favorite watch of the show, before it even begins. Why? It's an annual calendar and a chronograph – and a good looking one – for a price that you kinda can't believe. 1 OF 2 Montblanc Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum World Timer, announced December, 2014. First, let's examine how and why this watch exists. Jerome Lambert was once the CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre (and A. Lange & Söhne, for that matter), and while at JLC he brought out some absolute killer watches – but for today's conversation, the May 2013 release of an in-

New guy on the AP side
Evening gentsThis is my first post & possibly my first luxury watch purchase. I'm new to this although i have been watching these boards for awhile. Mostly the classifieds. I'm definitely a offshore kind of guy although i can see myself with an RO as a once a month going out to dinner type of watch.I see the divers are the cheapest, not really my style anyway. I've got my eye on an elephant ROO w/ hornback strap. (Not a fan of that either) How much of a hassle/cost is it to get a elephant rubber strap w/ diver style pin buckle?Also whats the group take on the whole elephant theme? Is like a gimmick? Or a possible staple in the brand? I only ask because should i panic after the purchase & sell i dont want to be stuck with it. Hopefully it'll be easy to sell like a Panda for example.Lastly these are expensive pieces. If this particular piece doesn't come with everything i want initially would you consider scrapping the deal & waiting for the right one? Just looking for person

Let's see those Seamasters!!!!

Rubber strap for my 5167/1A
Hi EverybodyJust wondering to get a rubber strap for my 5167/1A that comes with a bracelet, so I can swap them anytime. Two different styles with the same watch.Did anybody make that change? and if so, will the same clasp work in the rubber one?Thanks to all of you

I need inspiration! Please help me dear friends!
I have gone a bit quiet with incomings recently, I am looking for ideas for my next PP and am lacking inspiration. A couple of limitations however:1. It must be 40mm at least.2. I don't like Aquanaut or Nautilus models (I may change the latter view when I see the 5990 in the flesh).3. No yellow gold.4. It should be a model that will hold its value reasonably well.5. I am not VIP status with Patek, so can't get specials easily.6. 5270/5970/5960/5235/5100/5070 are off the list.If I don't get some inspiration, I may need to turn to the dark side (aka AP or RM).Thank you in advance,R
