SIHH 2015: New Baume & Mercier Watches (Updated with Live Photos and Prices)
Among its new releases at SIHH 2015, Baume & Mercier has launched two new models in its rectangular-cased Hamptons collection and a new complication in the recently launched Baume & Mercier Clifton family.The Baume & Mercier Hampton, with its Art Deco-inspired, curved-rectangular case, marks its 20th anniversary in 2015 with two new references in steel, each containing a Swiss-made, automatic mechanical movement. The watch’s case measures 31 x 47 mm and has a thin, subtly tapered profile (just 10 mm thick), which follows the curve of the wrist and makes for an easy fit under the cuff of a dress shirt. Like previous Hampton watches, it features recessed surfaces at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock that highlight the domed sapphire crystal. There is also a sapphire window in the caseback that offers a view of the movement. Both of the Baume & Mercier Hampton Automatic watches have off-white dials, date windows at 6 o’clock, and the sword-shaped hands that a

Bell & Ross Rose Gold BR-02 Diving Watch Available On JamesList.com
Who needs a gold diving watch you ask? Well no one really needs one, but that isn't the point. The standard Bell & Ross BR-02 is the active version of the serious diving watch line. The version in gold is the dressy-sexy version that alludes to deep diving, but is meant for more congenial activities.The Bell & Ross BR-02 is the less known diving version of the wildly popular BR01 watch. In a similar size and character as the BR-01, BR-02 aims for the depths instead of the skies with an equally direct emulation of the best parts of the theme (diving as opposed to flying). The watch is about 44mm wide and constructed out of solid 18k rose gold. The dial is a sporty carbon fiber that does work with the overall design. Realize that the face is design to be extremely legible, which it is. This version has the Arabic numerals, which I like.Like all good diver watches the BR-02 has a rotating bezel, but an internal one (operated by the upper crown). Water resistance is dive worthy at

GMTII quickset date changing at 10-11pm
On my 116710 (purchased new in Dec 2017), if I move the quickset hour hand back and forth a few times between 9 and 11, the date will advance at 10 or 11. If I move it slowly and deliberately one hour at a time, it doesn’t. Anyone else experienced this with a 3186? Should I send it in? No issues otherwise, it keeps near perfect time, and the date changes normally around midnight with the crown screwed down.
