MB&F And Alain Silberstein HM2.2 "Black Box" Watch
Sometimes I wait a bit after news "breaks" to discuss a topic. That was the case with MB&F's new HM (horological machine) 2.2 watch. The timepiece is a further extension of the quite pricey luxury HM2 watch. MB&F has given the watch several version done in combos of metals (gold, titanium...), ceramic, and of course colors and styles. I've worn a few of them, and admit they are sorta cool. One of the biggest criticisms of that watch is that it was unwearable. True, the the wide box is tough to wear on your wrist, but it isn't exactly "unwearable" (like the DeWitt WX-1). From a practical standpoint MB&F watches are wearable art. Few people would actually wear and HM1, HM2, or HM3 watch all the time, but I for one quite appreciate them. Max Busser of the brand is a marketing master as well. He really knows how to get people excited about his watches, and items such as this limited edition of 8 pieces HM2.2 watch are a great was of doing that.For me, this collaboration with wa

Introducing the Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition
The Oris Divers Sixty-Five was one of our favorite watches of last year. Many across the watch world fell in love with its unabashed old-school mentality with modern-day quality, myself included. It's a piece that seems to be destined for collectible status in the future. Now, for 2016, Oris appears to have made an instant classic even more impressive with the stunning Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition.This isn't Oris' first foray into releasing special editions based on important historical figures, as we've previously covered their John Coltrane Limited Edition, but continues that piece's trend of relatively simple yet breathtaking design. It's also based on another worthy individual in Carl Brashear, the first African-American Master Diver in the U.S. Navy, as well as its first amputee diver. Brashear was a pioneer not just against racial prejudice, but in recovery from disability, and was the inspiration for the 2000 film "Men of Honor" starring Cuba Gooding Jr.The case design her

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?

Sometimes I wish my
Bluesy looked like this !!! I think I'm starting to fall out of passion with TT !!! I don't know what happened... I had a BLNR and let it go with no regrets... Yes, I still think it's a great watch but I didn't miss it that much ... I find myself wearing the SD4K more and hardly wearing the blue sub ...The SD4K is my first all SS with black Dial and bezel Rolex and I feel quite enamored with it . I've tried the 116610 LN at my AD quite awhile back and felt nothing.What is it about the sea dweller? I'm sure I'd love the SD 43 50th Anniversary no doubt as well ... I really like the raised crystal with a clean look to it . The graduated bezel is very symmetrical and proportionate giving it anice clean look like the ND Sub C... Slimmer lugs and Great wrist presence too !!! I don't understand what's happening, I think my tastes could be changing... I still think the Bluesy is a great watch , maybe I might be toning down my flavor as I get older ... I thought it's supposed to be the other wa
