A. Lange & S?hne Saxonia Dual Time
Lange’s new Saxonia Dual Time offers a classically simple aesthetic in both design and function. Push pieces located at 8 and 10 o’clock allow the solid-gold hour hand to be advanced or moved back in one-hour increments without disturbing the minutes or seconds, so accurate timekeeping is maintained. A second hour hand in blued steel permanently keeps track of the time at home. Find pricing inside. When the upper push piece is pressed once, the hour hand advances by one hour. When the lower one is actuated, the hour hand jumps anti-clockwise by one hour. A compact 24-hour subdial in the upper half of the dial is synchronized with the home-time display, telling the owner whether it's day or night at home.Available in pink or white gold, the case diameter is 40mm. The movements is the totally redesigned self-winding calibre L086.2. The central rotor incorporates a centrifugal mass made of 950 platinum. When fully wound, the power reserve is 72 hours.The movement naturally exh

Chef Anthony Bourdain And His Ernst Benz ChronoFlite World Timer Watch
I recently wrote about chef Mario Batali and the special Ernst Benz Chronoscope for in his honor/image. A lot of people felt very strongly about it. Some people liked it, some people didn't, but most sorta voiced a general dissent of Mario Batali himself. Well, the man does use lots of butter and oil in his cooking, but the orange watch done for him by Ernst Benz wasn't half bad. Mario Batali isn't the only celebrity chef to wear an Ernst Benz watch. One of my favorite TV chefs also has one, and can be seen wearing it his show on the Travel Channel, "No Reservations." I am of course talking about New Yorker Anthony Bourdain.He looks cool and eats just about anything. That is basically his shtick. Others have come after him to do the same, but no one is as suave about it, or seems to actually enjoy what they are eating quite like Tony. In addition to cooking, traveling, writing, and being on TV, Mr. Bourdain might also be one of us - a watch lover. Hard to say how he came to own his Ern

AP Band vs others

Lastly, I have a 6.5 wrist. What size band would be ideal. Is a regular size 105mm x 70mm? I know at the AP AD. They have 3 sizes Short, Regular and Long. Does anyone know the size breakdown between these three?Thank youBrandon

ROO Steel vs FC
Hi guys. Welcome to another weekly poll. If both had the same price, which one would you choose and why? Also, is it true that FC Bee is really hard to come by? Or is it the ROO SS 44MM ? Happy to hear your thoughts.

A visit with my first WIS friend... GTG
Dear TRF Friends...Please allow me to share this great story with you about my recent GTG in Colombo, Sri Lanka.Before I begin I would like to tell you how I meet Michael (ap_mike)... Michael and I meet on a watch forum about 5 1/2 years ago when we were both new to collecting watches. We then had the opportunity to meet in person at a big Rolex GTG in London 5 years ago where our friendship grew at a more personal level. Over the years as our passion for watches grew we consulted each other on different brands and watches we were persuing... From Omega to Rolex to AP and PP...So last week I had the opportunity to meet up with Michael as I was operating a flight into Colombo. We had a great time catching up and sharing our small watch collection with each other... Here are a few snaps from our GTG...This was my very first overnight stay in Colombo Sri Lanka... It's an absolutely beautiful country... I only wish I had a few more days to travel around!Over looking the Indian Ocean...
