The Value Proposition: The Mido Baroncelli Heritage, A Great Looking Simple Watch At A Great Price
Mido is a Swatch Group brand that doesn't have a tremendous amount of mindshare among wristwatch enthusiasts in the United States, although the company's been around for some time (founded in 1918) and the Group has retailers for Mido watches around the world. Its current collections have preserved some of the company's more popular vintage models, including the Multifort, Commander, and Ocean Star lines, and they've just announced a new model in the Baroncelli line: the Baroncelli Heritage. This is not a watch that's necessarily going to take the world by storm, but it doesn't need to: it's a good-looking watch for just a bit over $1,000, that's noticeably better thought out than a lot of its competition. 1 OF 4 Mido, for some time now, has been positioning itself as a company that takes design cues from world architecture – to be completely candid, the connection can sometimes seem a bit tenuous. The Baroncelli Heritage supposedly is influenced by the architecture

Navitimer b01 43mm --- what's a good price?
So the topic says it all....what sort of discount would you guys expect on a stainless/leather 43mm navi01??? Retail 8250. I have a hard time as I know it won't retain anywhere near the value of a Rolex but it's always been on my bucket list. And frankly I've turned down too many great deals in the past...... New Monaco for 2300, new monbrilliant for 2600, preloved gmt2 for 4500..... Don't ask why just always a bad time....anywho.....what can I expect?

Tried on the platinum Apollo 11 40th Anniversary Speedmaster
I didn't know about this particular Speedmaster model until I stopped into a local AD today. Only 69 were produced and I was lucky enough to try one on. Truth is, I asked to take a picture of it in it's locked display case and the associate said Why don't you take a picture of it on your wrist instead! It's made of platinum and has a great heft to it. You definitely feel the weight when it's on the wrist. At 42mm it fit well on my 7.25 wrist. It has a sapphire crystal and 1861 movement. There is an anniversary marker on the sub-dial as well as on the caseback. The bracelet is updated with screws and feels very comfortable. It comes with a gorgeous, individually numbered display case and anniversary coin (sorry no pics of it since I forgot about those once the Speedmaster was on my wrist). The watch has a MSRP of $135,000. Found this pic online of the complete set...
