Hands-On: With the MB&F HMX Tenth Anniversary Watch, And A Second Look At HM6 (Live Pics, Though
This year is the tenth anniversary of one of the most interesting ongoing stories in watchmaking: the horological think-tank and design refinery known as MB&F. The company got its start when Max Büsser, formerly the head of the watch division of Harry Winston (where he helmed, among other things, the genesis of the legendary Opus series of watches) decided to leave the relative security of corporate life in the watch world (I use the world “relative” advisedly) and pursue his own very idiosyncratic vision of horological design. The basic inspiration behind the general design language of MB&F is pretty well known to serious enthusiasts – much of it is derived from Büsser’s own childhood fascination with the seemingly endlessly inventive worlds of fantasy, and science fiction, and he’s mined those worlds very effectively for both specific design cues, and for something more intangible: a marriage of nostalgia and design innovation, with an

Royal Oak 36mm Question
Hello Everyone--After being a wall flower for several months I have finally taken the plunge into the community. I was hoping someone could post some wrist shots and possibly a side-by-side of a rolex date just and a Royal Oak 36mm. I have a 7 wrist and have been tempted by the 36mm royal oak for some time now because I've heard it wears big like a 38mm. Some photos and some testimony would really help me decide what size is right for me.Cheers,-Franco

Vintage Omega Help
Hi everyone,I am a newbie to the forum and am looking for advice please.I own an Omega P.O 45mm (and love it) and have caught the 'Omega Bug' badly. I am interested in acquiring a vintage Omega for formal wear etc.I would appreciate any advice (or links to previous discussion threads) as to which models/calibres to look for or avoid?Thanks for your help in advance and regards to all.

Have anyone ever seen this Omega box?
Just bought this box. I know I've seen this box in sterling silver before and it dates to the early 1940's but never in Gold? Just curious about the box and looking for clues to get more detail about it. It seems to have these minor corrosion markes here and there in tiny specks I've spent an hour or so researching and no luck in the box and color combo this appears to be.

Incoming 16710
Because of this forum, I caught the 16710 bug like so many others. I decided to zero in on one with SELs and lug holes, and after much searching, was fortunate to come across a great deal on this beautiful K-serial. It's in great condition, but the bezel did have just a few marks on it. I went to Dallas RSC over lunch one day and they put on a new bezel (old one had a small dent that would make installing and removing an insert difficult) and new Pepsi bezel insert as well. I absolutely couldn't be happier, this watch is everything I thought it would be and more. I can completely see why many think this is one of the best references in the Rolex lineup.Hard to imagine this one coming off the wrist anytime soon.
