TUDOR Heritage Black Bay Bronze
Tudor �C Heritage Black Bay BronzeBronze is a glossy blend of copper and metals (aluminium, tin, lead) that's stronger and heavier than steel. Unlike other iron materials, seawater hardly affects it and rust gives it a beautiful green-grey patina. Bronze has fascinated mankind since the dawn of time and we've used it a million ways from prehistoric tools to 21st century watch cases, just like the new Heritage Black Bay Bronze by Tudor.Its 43mm bronze case is slightly larger than its Heritage Black Bay brothers and has the self-winding in-house MT5601 calibre which provides a 70-hour power reserve and is COSC-certified.Its slightly domed milk chocolate dial features luminescent bronze bevelled indices and Arabic numerals with a bronze minute track. The hours, minutes and seconds are tracked by phosphorescent gold hands.Price: 3,800 CHFBy Sharmila Bertin

Any first hand experience with the ROO Blue Diver
Anyone own or at least have some firsthand experience with the blue Diver? I'm looking at options since the CE is too difficult to find and I'm curious on how it looks in person.

trusted resellers?
hi guys, do you know of any trusted resellers who carry ROO models that I can connect. Cant afford new, but am hoping to keep my eye on a gently used version....any help would be much appreciated.thanks

Manual winding?
This is new to me, saw this cool moonphase watch though. In real life, how is manual winding different from an automatic? Does this mean, this sounds sorta dumb maybe, that if you wear the watch all the time you still have to wind it about ever 2 days? Thanks.

What's In A Name
Curious what others think, though it's ultimately an individual decision. I'm considering one more major Patek purchase for the year (5270). I have the option to buy new with my name on the papers or one version sealed with someone else's name or a third mint (obviously, again, with someone else's name). Essentially, the privilege of being the named owner will run me about $20k. Part of me thinks that's an absurd vanity, but part of me believes this will be an heirloom piece I'll someday hand down to my son or grandson (unborn as of yet), and I'd like to avoid the awkwardness of explaining why the family name isn't on the papers and also can't imagine missing the money that far down the road.What do people here feel?
