Carl F. Bucherer Manero ChronoPerpetual Watch
Almost strange that Carl. F. Bucherer makes a watch so simple. Until recently I didn't realize that the brand was associated with the watch retailer in Switzerland called Bucherer - but they are. Dumb connection not to make right? Available in white or rose gold, the Manero ChronoPerpetual is just that - a limited edition version of the round cased Manero watch with an automatic chronograph perpetual movement. Starts at $31,000.Read my full article on the Carl F. Bucherer Manero ChronoPerpetual watch at Haute Living here.See Carl F. Bucherer watches on eBay here.See Carl F. Bucherer watches on Amazon here.

Decisions
Not being a jewellery fan I got my first ever watch at 37 datejust Rolex. I've since bought a preowned Seadweller and a new 41mm ROChrono. The former being a collector piece and the latter well just being to good to wear to work I am thinking of another watch and am in 2 minds about a Submariner or an GMT. I could of course demote the RO or the Seadweller and buy a millenary however I have been thrown a curveball. My wife wears a half gold date just with Mop and diamonds and does like the AP ladies Automatic RO. We have found a new but discontinued model in SS but from a holding onto its value standpoint what should I buy? Him or her, AP or Rolex?

Should I flip my 5712 for a 5960P?
Dear all, I purchased my 5712 brand new in May last year, I still like it but I find the 5960P grey (cheaper) or blue (my first choice but considerably more expensive than the grey) tempting. Firstly, It would mean trading a brand new piece with a pre-owned (which to some people, is not something to be worried about).Secondly, it would mean loosing my Nautilus.Thirdly, I would have to come up with approximately the double of the worth of my 5712.I find the 5960 design very interesting (and yes I have read that the 5960 has had many complaints about its movement breaking down, and chrono seconds hand falling out of line with 12 o'clock position) and it is also a platinum piece. It is also a step up from the Nautilus but again, a Nautilus is a Nautilus, a category on its own.Currently I own 3940G (I just returned my 3940J to the store where I purchased it as it was faulty), 3938G blue, 5712, and I just sold my 5164.Should I also sell my 5712 1/A for the 5960P? If no, case closed, if yes,
