SevenFriday V-Series Watch
So it has finally happened: SevenFriday have released a new collection �C or series, as they like to call them-with the?SevenFriday V-Series. It is the newest addition to the family that previously contained the P- and M-Series. While its forerunners were all 47mm soft-edged squares, the case shape of the V-Series is totally different. Two left side protrusions, housing a simple-but-smart FSC (Fast Strap Change) system, change the look of this watch entirely. In the same way Star Wars got creative with the shaping of their lettered craft, this watch kind of looks like a V that has toppled to its right and just decided to stay there.Aside from the obvious shift in silhouette, the SevenFriday V-Series features a round specially hardened and anti-reflective treated domed mineral glass and a more traditionally shaped dial. This design trait goes almost unmentioned in the press release. Not because it is a small change (I personally believe it to be seismic for the brand, and potentially des

Sporty German Diver: Limes 1 Tausend GMT Diving Watch Available Right Now
A while ago I mentioned the new Limes Endurance 1 Tausend Diver watch that was due for release soon. The watch had a wonderful Germanic utility feel to it, and I looked forward to seeing one. The Endurance was a deviation on the existing Limes 1 Tausend (one thousand, as in the depth rating), which is pictured here.This particular watch has an automatic ETA 2893-2 movement, that includes the GMT complication. The dedicated GMT 24 hour hand is nicely done with a large red arrow providing nice visibility, without being too distracting. Actually, this is one of the clearest GMT diving watches I have seen.Limes, like Sinn is a maker of high quality, but aggressively prices German "sport" watches. One thing that makes Limes a bit unique is the fact that they make all their own cases. Most smaller watches companies essentially source most of their parts. This is not a problem, but Limes takes great pride in constructing well-made cases fit for their watches.Although 1000 meter watches are be

Advice On Appropriate Calatrava
I'm entertaining an idea involving a non-Patek sports watch as a daily and especially weekender watch, and (here's where your opinion comes in) a special occasion/occasional office wear Calatrava.I would wear the Calatrava every week at least a day or two or three. But I can't decide between a dressier looking, manual wind, no date, sub-seconds watch? or an automatic, sweep second, date window model? Thoughts please?

Am I Crazy or Just Content ?!?
Well, as some of you know through PM's, et al that I have been looking at other PP since January. I have been through several different styles... Calatrava, Complications, GC and keep coming back to the same dilemma. That is, do I already have the perfect piece ? 5167 ?? This watch can do it all and it's a Patek !! More complicated Patek's costing over 100K are built upon the 324 SC movement which is reassuring and I would not call this a beater watch by any means, but it can do most everything (Almost pulled the trigger a few weeks ago and was going to purchase a 5227 and 5396 but said wait ! Am I buying these to wear or something to have around ? I thought about it and decided that my 5167 was good enough for now). I have a hole burning in my pocket and could easily afford a GC piece (or two) on down, but feel like I would never give it the time of day with the strap on the 5167. I've been told that leather / alligator straps are not at all comfortable in the Summer heat whi

New to the world of Rolex
Good day everyone, My name is John, and I'm new to the forum and new to the world of Rolex. I'm 39 years old, and ever since i was a little kid I've had the itch to own a Rolex. My grandfather (before he passed) had a President, and he was responsible for giving me the itch. Fast forward several decades, and I'm finally in a position in life where i can scratch that itch. So last week i stopped by my local AD. Same place i bought my wife's engagement ring as well as my breitling. Jeff, who's one of their Rolex specialists and a stellar individual, was showing me my options. I wanted something sort of entry level, so i settled (key word there) on a rhodium-dialed Oyster Perpetual 39. I had him hold it aside for me, and that was that.Well over the course of this past week, i couldn't stop thinking about the fact that what i REALLY wanted was one of the new Datejust 41s with the new 3235 movement. It got so bad that i began to feel like i was settling for the OP39, simply because the pri
