Watch Experts Network: ‘#TBT Fortis Marinemaster 8001 Chronograph’
Basel prognostications begin as early as January and start in earnest in February. One of the most discussed brands, of course, is Rolex. A quick browse of Rolex forums brings out multitudes of hypotheses about what the giant will release at the show and, then, a month or so later, the actual news is almost universally met with disappointment. While some of the hoped-for watches are plausible, I've seen some fairly wild ones alongside creative photoshopped images. One imaginative idea that I remember distinctly was of a Submariner chronograph or, perhaps, a Daytona diver. In actuality, the idea is not so far-fetched as there are plenty of diving chronographs and why wouldn't Rolex, who is apt in making both styles of watch, wander down that conjoined path? Well, who knows the answer to that question, but I do at least come with a semi-plausible solution. That solution, readers, is the subject of today's #TBT and comes in the form of the surprising, yet highly credible Fortis Marinemast

Incoming 15202! (And some thoughts on the piece)
After 2+ years of deliberation I finally pulled the trigger. The 15202. The Jumbo. The iconic masterpiece from AP. I could not be more excited. First, let me say the watch is sublime. I had seen the Jumbo in stores before, but once you take the stickers off you truly realize just how amazing the level of finishing is. It is stellar. Second, as someone who has a bigger wrist, I was worried about how the 15202 may look. Would it be too small? Would the bracelet be too stiff?Well I am happy to report I absolutely love how it looks. It is a perfect fit for me. Yeah you see a little bit more bracelet from the top, but that's okay. And speaking of the bracelet... I love it. The bracelet has *just* enough lateral give in it to be comfortable on wrist, without being too rigid. It just forms to the shape of your wrist. Without further ado... a wrist shot!
