HODINKEE Events: View The 2011 Harry Winston Basel Collection In NYC....Including Opus Eleven
Click to view inviteHarry Winston had a really strong showing at Basel this year, and we're not even talking about the undisputed star of the show, the Opus Eleven.? You can tell the brand is paying a lot of attention to timepieces, and as CEO Fr��d��ric de Narp said in his presentation to us, it's amazing to see what Harry Winston has accomplished in only 20 years of watchmaking.The Harry Winston 2011 collection is expansive, and while the Opus is surely the focal point, the rest of the pieces are rather refined, and supremely elegant.? We'll be highlighting a few of them over the coming weeks, but in the mean time, we would like to invite you to view the entire collection in New York City.The full Harry Winston collection will be on display on Wednesday April 27 and Thursday April 28 at the HW boutique on 5th ave from 10am-6pm both days. If you are interested in coming in to see it, send a note to RSVP@HarryWinston and let them know when you'll be there.? We promise you, you won't want

Rolex achievement unlocked!
It's been a long journey since 1988 when I first laid eyes on a Submariner Date. I was on vacation in St. Thomas and got to check one out.$2500. Eep! Too much money for my younger self at that time.I ended up buying a $100 Citizen that I kept until sometime after 2005 and stupidly sold (I got tired of getting new batteries and getting it pressure tested annually). I've had Omega and Doxa (keeper) and many micro brands along the way. From big to small. Always fun, but they never satisfied the craving.It's okay to have dings and scratches. That was a HARD lesson to learn and live with. If I couldn't deal with it on a $500 watch, how could I handle it on a Rolex??I've had opportunities to handle and try on several 16610s along the way.

So I knew the desire was not gone.I stopped at an AD a short time back and tried on 116610LN just to see if I would like the new version, and it just did not do it for me (Though I may revisit it in the future.)I final

Power reserve question
So i have a explorer 2 and a year ago i tested it and got 46 plus hours of reserve from it. And a couple weeks ago i tested it and got a bunch of diff results from 34 37 40 41 and 45 hours being the longest i do not wear my watch but maybe three times a month due to others being in the rotation. Do you think this is ok ? And this is simply winding it 45 to 50 times and letting it sit.it seems to go up each time but now stays around 40 to 42 hours.
