Finalists For The 2014 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve Announced, Public Vote Now Open (Where You Can Win A Girard-Perregaux!)
It's that time of year! Yup, the finalists of the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve (GPHG) have been announced. For those who don't remember, the GPHG is the watch industry's equivalent of the Academy Awards, wherein a group of distinguished judges comprised of collectors (think John Goldberger and John Mayer), retailers (think Laurent Picciotto), watchmakers (think Philippe Dufour) and journalists (think our own Ben Clymer) decide on who has done the most to advance watchmaking this year. Today, the finalists for each category have been announced. The winners will be announced on Friday, October 31st, 2014, in Geneva. The entire ceremony will be streamed live right here on HODINKEE.Click here to see the finalists for the 2014 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve (GPHG). BONUS: The public prize, decided by YOU, is also now open for voting, and once you register, you can win a Girard-Perregaux worth over $10,000 right here.

Pam 240 vs Pam 510
Hello everyone, It's my first time in this community and I'm looking for some advice. I'm trying to consider between a PAM 240 and PAM 510. Both are second hand at the exact same price. Here's a brief comparison:PAM 510:Full set 2014 P serial Mild scratches on the sidesPAM 240:Watch onlySerial (unsure I'll update as soon as I get the info) It's my first Panerai and I have a preference towards the 510's sandwich dials, but I think the 240 has its merits as well (titanium case, automatic, date). My question here is: which one do you guys think is better in terms of accuracy (is the p.9000 really that inaccurate) / serviceability (in house movement vs. Valjoux) / complications (date or no date?) / looks (sandwich dial or sausage)?

New wedding band that matches my SubC!
So normally I wear a yellow gold wedding band. The wedding band is a unique color, because it and my wife's rings were made from a single gold krugerrand.Today my wife surprised me with a meteorite wedding band! It happens to match my Sub to a tee, and could not be happier. Do you guys ever care to have a band that also matches your watch? Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
