Second Of Happiness "SoH" Concept Watch
The "Second of Happiness" (SoH) watch is currently just a concept, but it certainly could be made. It is the charming and clever brainchild of 21 year old French design student Mathilde Ampe. Ironically enough, the watch does not display the seconds. According to Mathilde, this is also her very first watch design.The SoH watch is meant to look like a face. Not just a watch face, but a more human-like face. The focal point of the design are two rotating discs that are meant to look like eyes, and the pupils are the indicators. The left eye disc indicates the hours and the right disc is for the minutes. Does that make it hard to tell the time? A bit.What the SoH watch lacks in legibility it makes up for in personality. However, to get an idea of what the Second of Happiness watch is like to tell the time, Mathilde set up a site with the SoH watch design that shows the current time here.

Is it just me?
Or does Omega just make some of the coolest, most competent, elegant, durable, sylish, timeless, interesting, underrated and unassuming watches in the world?I've had a Seamaster PO 42mm for the last 5 years and it's been my go-to watch for tough weekend work. It has withstood the beating, kept great time, looks cooler than snot, is incredibly comfortable and continues to look like new (with just a healthy bit of patina). I also really enjoy the Speedy's and am sure one will find its way into my watch cabinet at some point as well. Might even be one of the new 9300 Speedy's!!...So I know we're in the Rolex Forums here, and that most of us own and enjoy Rolexes (and other fine watches), but I find the appeal of the Omega brand and its watches to be stronger than ever. Anyone agree?

Very first Patek Philippe.
I must say 5711 blue dial is Beautiful. I love everything about it.

New serial release date?
I don't recall when Panerai releases the new model year serials? This year is R serial and I assume next year is S, but couldn't remember if they release toward end of this year or beginning of next year? I'm looking to possibly pick up a BNIB 233 R serial (now comes with croc strap and production number down to 800 I think?). I assume 25% off is good for one with Euro papers? Also heard rumors that the 233 could go away and be replaced? Not sure if anyone has an update on that statement?Any advice/experience is greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Verde incoming!
Got the call this morning from my AD after a 4 month wait. Now I get it👍
