MB&F HM5 CarbonMacrolon Watch
MB&F has a rule that they can't do anything like other brands - a policy that, for the most part, they are pretty good at sticking to. With this newest and third iteration of the Horological Machine No. 5 (HM5), they created a black-cased watch, not with a black coating over metal, but with a novel material they like to call "CarbonMacrolon." Thus, we have a dark version of the 1970s sports car inspired "driver's watch," paired with cool purple accents.The HM5 (reviewed here) is one of my favorite Horological Machines.

Oh NO, what have I started!
Went into a AD for Audemars today looking to get more information about one of their pieces. I have seen Panerais around but never thought to much about them. The salesperson explained to me about their history and story and I decided to look a little closer, saw a couple of rose gold pieces which were spectacular, perhaps after a little research and some time with the brand they may be on the list. I was in a bit of a hurry and found this little gem, ended up leaving the store in about 15 minutes with this in tote. I have never spent so little time researching a watch or agonizing over the purchase. I must say it was kinda fun.

Day Date 40 YG vs WG opinions please...
