Manufacture Royale Opera Time-Piece Watch
Beat me with a stick! I just had to plod through Manufacture Royale's nine page long bloody press release - only to have reasserted what they mention in the first few lines; that they are "unashamedly elitist." Wipe my brow and hand me an ol' timey hallucinogenic absinthe, because I need to lay back in a hammock on a steamship and read some Jules Verne to appreciate this steampunk mechanaut.Oh how right it would be for the good people behind the conception of this watch to redo their text and branding on the watch. It is a cool thing, and the overgrown child in my loves this oddity - but they really need to take it down a few notches. I kid you not: in a nutshell, the brand would have you believe that this watch not only sets the bar upon which all future watches must be judged, but also claims that according to the designer this watch release is one step closer to realizing a dream of utopia. Please calmly take an axe to my forehead - for I cannot believe this.Ok, let's get back to th

had a hard time deciding on what to get for the wifey for her birthday, it was either a bag or a watch, and being a watch guy I much prefer a watch would be more worth it.so I bit the bullet and ordered her this to add to her collection of watches..omegawatches/collecti...32433384004001I sure hope she like's it

Aqua Terra 41mm and PO 42mm comparo
Does anyone have a side-by-side shot of these two watches? Specifically the AT 2802.52.37 with the brown croc strap?I finalized the sale of my PO yesterday and now I am looking for a replacement. I like the PO and may get another (different) one. But then I saw the 41mm 2802.52.37. I don't see them too often on here. I see lots of teak dials with date window, but not too many of the 41mm on brown croc.If anyone out there has shots of them together or just shots of the 2802.52.37, please post them or direct me to them. I did a search, but they are few and far between.Thanks. (missing my PO...already).Rob

Patek 5296R Sector dial - True gentleman��s watch
So simple yet elegant. Enjoy!

Which pair do you prefer?
Thinking about flipping my AP Diver 15707CE plus 116610LV for an AP ROO 26400 Panda and DJ41 Blue. It would be an even swap. Pics for reference...For...IMG_1580.JPGIMG_1582.JPGDo you guys think this is a good move? The two that I own are very polarizing pieces yet highly sought after. The CE is discontinued and some say the Hulk will be discontinued soon. Not sure if this is something I should be mindful of. Maybe I'm just getting older and prefer something more conventional. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
