Melbourne Watch Co Portsea Review
When I reviewed the Melbourne Flinders some time ago, I was pleasantly surprised by the subtleties of the design and quality manufacturing. So, I was very excited last summer when they announced they were coming out with the Portsea, a playful variation on the Marine Chronometer style. I wasn't the only one either, as their Kickstarter campaign for the watch raised just over $100k, nearly triple what they had asked for.What struck me about the Portsea is that it wasn't just another Marine watch, it really took the concept into a unique direction and used a cool movement, the Miyota 9120.

AP straps in Bangkok
Having holiday in BKK with my family. Found some nice straps in MBK for my new Pam. Did not manage to see any nice straps for AP though. I was actually looking for a strap for my 44mm ROO SS. Something which looks similar to the carbon Fiber strap with red stitching from AP Bands. Anyone know of any shops in BKK which have good selection of straps for AP?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mulling over an AP ROO
I have the following:1) Cartier de Calibre - White dial strap2) Rolex 116610 LN3) IWC 18K RG - 3714-82I am unloading a panerai 312 to help fund (more to not piss off the GF by having more than 4), but want to make the right AP choice. Based on what I got (I have dark complection if that makes a difference), should I get:A) AP ROO Black ThemesB) AP ROO Navy ThemesC) AP ROO SafariI'm thinking the navy will be a b*tch to pair clothes to it, but its pretty.The safari looks awesome with black gator, brown gator and rubber.The black themes seems to be under the radar.Thoughts??
