Jaeger-LeCoultre-Backed Team Prepares for Himalayan Ascent
A team of three mountaineers lead by a Swiss climber has arrived at their 5,200 meter base camp in Nepal to prepare for an ascent of a never-before-conquered peak. On their wrists are three Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces: a 1958 Geophysic Chronometer, a Master Compressor Extreme Lab, and a new and as yet undisclosed extreme creation prepared by the Manufacture workshops in the Vall��e de Joux.The three climbers are St��phane Schaffter, a Swiss alpinist who has scaled the fabled Bonatti Pillar in the Mont Blanc mountain range, Lhakpa Tenzing Sherpa (known as Apa Sherpa) who has a record 19 Everest ascents under his belt, and Little Karim Balti, who has accompanied many sportsmen on expeditions above 8,000 meters.Introduced in 2007, the Master Compressor Extreme Lab operates without oil or lubricants of any kind. Jaeger-LeCoultre heralds this achievement as the future of watchmaking. The Master Compressor Extreme Lab is also designed to operate precisely at temperatures from -40�� to -60�� Cels

Pam00390?
it's been almost 5 years since I've sold my last Panerai. I'm thinking about making the move back to get a near daily Panerai...I have to say I miss the straps, miss the community and miss the design...Panerai makes me nostalgic as it was the community of Panerai that made me fall in love with watches Anywho, any guys on here still wearing their 390 from 2011?? This is the one I think I will get..I love the versatility I can have with straps and the tobacco dial with that gorgeous lume...Pics are welcome

GMT 2 Question
Not being familiar with GMT's as I am with the DJ's, I am curious if Rolex made a 16713 with a champagne serti dial .... Diamond and ruby markers. I do believe such a dial was available on a solid gold model, but I'm not sure about the two tones. Thanks, Robbie
