HourTime Show Watch Podcast Episode 53
We go over some of what I saw at the 2011 week in Geneva, and then dutifully disagree on those watches that we like.Listen to the HourTime Show watch podcast episode 53 here.

New Year Eve Incoming Offshore Novelty SS
So after much deliberation I finally zeroed in on an AP Novelty Offshore in Stainless steel... This is the only AP I have currently but have had the pleasure of owning the 42 mm Panda and the Novelty Forged Carbon in the past.....I was also looking at the All ceramic but somehow could not justify paying the huge difference for it... I'm really digging the colour contrast on the dial of the Novelty Steel and after having owned the FC which I loved for its light weight I now find myself also enjoying the extra weight of the steel...I think this watch will be perfect for regular wear and can be worn both dressed up & dressed down for weekends...Here's some quick shots of my new love :-)

Purchasing 2 Platonas - Thoughts?
I currently own a WG Sub and a BLRO and love them.I was looking to add to my collection so I went to an AD and actually tried on both the regular version with brown subdials and the version with all glacier blue dial and glacier blue subdials with the diamond markers.I loved both.I have an opportunity to purchase both of them at 30% off MSRP.I wanted peoples opinions (I already PM Dr. Tom and appreciated his thoughts!) about whether the watches are too similar to have in one collection or are they different enough?I really thought they looked different enough.Finally, I don't flip watches so these would be keepers so I am not worried about losing money selling them on the secondary market.I know I could get a Platona and DD40 in platinum or maybe a Platona and a Patek ....but I really prefer Rolex sports watches above all others...so I wanted everyone's thoughts.Thanks.
