The Mario Batali Limited Edition Chronoscope Watch Line
When I think of Food Network Chef Mario Batali, I think "big and orange," which is a lot like the special Ernst Benz Mario Batali watches. I also keep hearing him scream "Parmigiano Reggiano" in my head. Hence the blocks of Parmesan cheese. See, it all goes to together. Haven't watched an episode of Molto Mario in a while to be aware of whether he brandishes the watch during the show, but I do know that Mr. Batali wears?? an Ernst Benz watch (with his namesake on it) about town much of the time. I've known about the orange themed watches for a while, but it wasn't until June when I got to check them out (picture above of me wearing the watch) that I thought much about them. While I don't need a butter laden Italian food themed watch in my life, you can just pretend that it is a good black and orange watch. Suddenly you have like a Halloween theme and the watch is cool again. The watches are pretty nice actually, and they make a good case for themselves being connected with a Charity. B

The watch is powered by a HUB44 RT selfwinding movement
The watch is powered by a HUB44 RT selfwinding movement which window developed with the assistance of a specialist in movement La Joux-Perret; In addition to the prestigious split-seconds chronograph function, which allows the synchronization of the independent period of time has elapsed, the movement also offers a power reserve indicator, which indicates the status of reserve of 42 hours of the mainspring barrel.

ROO NAVY THEMES VS BLACK THEMES 26170st
Hey all- I am looking into adding a navy themes or black themes 26170st to my collection. I currently have a ROO Diver. I like the idea of having the gator, metal, and rubber straps as they are all interchangeable. Ideally I think I would like the Navy Themes as it has the white sporty dial that goes with everything. Would look great with a navy or white rubber strap as well as bracelet and the gator, of course.Thoughts of Having the Diver and Black Themes as my two daily pieces as opposed to the diver and navy?I am looking at used G and H serials. I'd course want the newest which would impact my decision as well. Panda is an option, but I think out of the three navy and black are preferable. What are your thoughts? I could use some help.Thanks!

Considering getting first AP (ROC) but wanted to ask some current owners...
Hi guys as stated I am really getting the itch for a 41mm ROC with white dial. I wanted to ask some current owners if it could be a daily wearer?I bought a 116610LV about 2 months ago and I really do love it however I am possibly starting a new job soon which is going to be suits 6 days a week. While I do agree the ceramic subs do go nicely with suits I think/hope the ROC will be absolutely perfect for my new job and also the weekend! My worry is picking up scratches a lot as my Rolex is incredibly robust etc My job will involve a lot of desk diving etc also do people swim/steam in them etc as when I am travelling leaving it in the gym bag is a big no no for me personally!I realise in an ideal world I would have both but I am 25 years old and would 100% have to flip the LV to get this and realistically it would be my daily wearer. I am a bit worried maybe I am jumping ahead of myself? Is the AP more of a watch to go with another that's lesser value? Any help would be hugely appreciated

In the big scheme of things what's the point of 5960/1A
I simply do not understand this watch or its purpose in fact it makes me quite angry - Patek grand complications have a certain status amongst the watch collecting community. They are aspirational watches, you have to be privileged and in a certain point / position in life to own one and are pinnacles of design purity. The SS 5960 in terms of Patek purity of design misses that mark by a long shot ( the hand design, the hour markers, the thick goggled calendar windows and that mirror surface bracelet are a collection of mismatches - it is a watch made for the masses that really in terms of design purity is very poor. A watch should be as good as it possibly can be and sadly for this piece this is not the case, you may argue certain design features look appealing but as a whole it is not the best it could have been, and that is what I expect from Patek THEIR BEST.I see so many brands dilute their propositions to appeal to broader customers, while this is all good and fine - for Patek I t
