Tutima Launches Three New Models in Three Price Ranges
At Baselworld 2011, Tutima launched three new models: the Grand Classic Black Chronograph PR, the Grand Classic Reserve, and the Pacific Black. Each measuring 43mm in diameter, these new models offer three variations on Tutima’s classic good looks. Find wallpaper, launch dates and pricing inside. The Grand Classic Black Chronograph PR sits at the top of the new range of introductions. The stainless steel case and bracelet undergo a special hardening process that Tutima claims render it as resistant to scratches as sapphire crystal. It then receives a coating of scratch-resistant black PVD. The dial is highly legible, and the power reserve is nicely integrated and among the most useful of complications. Under the dial a Swiss self-winding Valjoux 7750 movement produces the energy. The Grand Classic Black Chronograph PR is available with a striking red dial, or more traditional black. Look for it to arrive in stores in August/September with an MSPR in the $4500 ballpark.The new Gra

Brown dial nautilus?
Was in a meeting today with a new staff member when I noticed he was wearing what looked like a Nautilus. However, the dial colour was brown - it was the first time I've seen a Nautilus with that particular coloured dial.So I took several more glances at his watch and it confirmed it was a PP Nautilus. Since he was new and I didn't know him very well, I was up to asking him more about his watch.After coming home, I decided do a google search for a brown dialed Nautilus since it was the first time I seen it. However, I couldn't find any hits for an authentic stainless steel brown dialed Nautilus. But there were several replica watch sites that posted the watch my colleague was wearing. See attached pic I copied from one of the replica outlets.So was he wearing a fake? Or was that an authentic but rare model?

Panerai Research?
Where is a good place to research which panerai models have which features? I've been scouring the forums but can't really differentiate which PAM's are automatic versus wind, sandwich dial versus not, etc. With so much price variation between specific models/features the only way I can tell if I'm getting a good deal is by comparing it to the list price - but ideally I'd like to just know which one is giving me the best bang for my buck.Eg. Which serial numbers/letters for what dates. Any sites/links/sources?

What else?
So, I just got my first serious vintage Rolex, the 5513. And now I'm looking for my second, I love steel bezels but alas the 1016 is out of my budget right now as I only have about 5-7k to spend maximum! And I'd like it to be on the lower end if possible What should I do? I don't mind modern and I've found some good deals on the dj41 and the 214270
