Baume & Mercier Classima Executives Magnum XXL Watch
This was one of the best new Baume & Mercier at SIHH 2010, and that really isn't saying much. The brand's return to "heritage" (wow, isn't that starting to sound REALLY cliche these days) has a release of "classic" looking watches. A term that is starting to get on my nerves these days. Like the watch industry is so confused as to what happened in the last 10 years they are just trying to erase is and start from scratch. The Classima Executives Magnum XXL is actually two watches - see my images from the show. Nothing wrong wit them, but they don't really excite me as much as Baume & Mercier would like for them too.See my Baume & Mercier Classima Executives Magnum XXL watch article on AskMenwatches-dealer here.See Baume & Mercier watches on eBay here.See Baume & Mercier watch on Amazon here.

Do I sense some falling out of love with the manufacture?
Maybe it is me, but I am seeing a lot of criticism towards the brand, some heavyweights selling all their pieces and moving on and some being downright nasty. What is going on? Is it just me? Is it the cold up north making people cranky? PS, 26400 is my favorite piece and I don't care much whether it is popular or not

Birks @ Yorkdale (Toronto) no longer an AD
Hi, just an FYI, I called Birks last week to inquire about a 233 and hopefully get some kind of discount. I was hoping that since the boutique is opening that they'd be more willing to deal with some competition coming. However, I didn't hear back for almost a week from the sales lady as she was trying to secure and R model for me. When I called last night to follow up, I was told that they no longer carry Panerai. I inquired further to say I only called last week and how that was rather sudden. She agreed it was and stated that they got a communication from Panerai on Monday saying that Panerai was pulling their watches and that they were no longer an AD. This was due to the boutique opening in the same mall later this year. So, can anyone tell me what type of discount percentage do other Panerai boutique offer if any?TxEverett
