the new Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is offered in a limited edition of 75 pieces
Protecting the display is a top quality sapphire crystal. The same glass is employed in manufacturing of the case-back. The final touch is provided by an alligator leather strap, which joins to an 18-carat white gold pin buckle.A clever blend of advanced technology and irresistible aesthetic appeal, the new Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is offered in a limited edition of 75 pieces.

Went to the Omega Boutique.... wow!
I gotta say... the boutiques are quite nice, but the new watches are even better.First time I placed on the new PO in 42 and 45.5.... WOW. Impressive timepiece! I'd like to get one and add to my collection, but the price jumped quite a bit since the older PO. $6200.... kind of a lot. I don't even know what the purpose of this post is, but I guess I just had to let someone know that I am beginning to dig the new POs quite a bit.

Would you consolidate to a 5970?
I am seriously considering consolidating a large part of my collection to fund a 5970j. I was going to trade an AP RO SS perpetual calendar, a PP 5059j, an AP ROO Alinghi dual time, and an 18k bronze GMT II. Would you do that trade or keep the wide variety. I will be left with a 5712, a 5726a and a 5726 1/a white along with a SD, a black Daytona and a president. What do you guys think?

just arrived! PAM0024
I'd been hunting for a new watch for a few months now and it was starting to get more and more complicated, I had my mind set, then I saw something else that appealed, and on it went! I walked up and down Collins St seeking out the right watch, at the right price.Rolex, no budge on price and wait for stock to arrive! I decided that was not good enough so I moved on, Omega, pretty much the same with the excuse that it lessens the name, well, it pays your wages too if I buy one...but the Seamaster GMT felt cheap and certainly not worthy of the $9400 price tag.Today, I thought bugger this, I need to get the watch and be done with it..I waltzed in to The Hour Glass and the lovely young NZ girl served me straight away.She asked what I was looking for and I told her straight out...she asked which model I was interested in and I told her this is the one! PAM0024, and she pulled it out and let me play around with it.I played, she watched, I talked to her about watches and asked her why she doe

SS Pepsi Likely To Cause Plunge in WG BLRO Sales
I have been looking to buy a pre-owned BLRO in WG, but I am now just going to buy the SS Pepsi. The SS models hold their value much better, they are easier to sell if you change your mind, they are more durable and now there is little difference in the look, plus the SS Pepsi has the new movement and a much longer lasting power reserve which makes it technically a superior watch to the WG BLRO.The White Gold BLRO was not a big seller before this SS Pepsi was introduced, so I think sales of the WG BLRO are likely to go down even more now which might eventually lead to the model being discontinued or maybe Rolex will upgrade it in some way like the movement. Thoughts?A used WG BLRO is about $23 to $24k today, which is enough to buy a SS Pepsi and a SS Daytona and still have about $2 to $3k left for a fun weekend....Based on that I can't justify a WG BLRO anymore. It needs to drop further in price so that it makes more sense.
