Darker Knights: Roger Dubuis Presents Its Latest Excalibur Knights of the Round Table Edition
Manufacture Roger Dubuis has brought out a new version of the medieval masterpiece that marries perfectly with its flagship Excalibur collection: the Excalibur Knights of the Round Table.? The first?interpretation, unveiled in 2013 (and which we covered here), the designers of the Geneva-based manufacture presented a 28-piece limited edition in rose gold with 12 knights made of gold, seated around an enamel-and-decal reproduction of the Tudor-green-and-cream-painted English Oak Round Table made for King Henry VIII and placed in the Grand Hall of his castle at?Winchester. For 2015, the stunning new 28-piece Excalibur Knights of the Round Table II takes this historically fueled model from a princely, Camelot-themed aesthetic to a darker,?Gothic, more bad-ass one �� sort of the horological equivalent of Game of Thrones’s Iron Throne.The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Knights of the Round Table II features 12 meticulously sculpted miniature bronze knights positioned around a precious black ja

Disappointed w/44.5mm Speedy
Hello all,I've been really giving some thought to buying the Speedmaster Co-Axial Date - ref: 311.30.44.50.01.002 for several months. I bought my Moonwatch last January on vacation and find myself wearing it at least 4 days a week, if not more. My Daytona is down to about twice a month, after being my daily tool watch for almost 14 years. Dial legibility is the #1 reason for this decision - the Rolex is fine in the daytime, but after dark it is just about useless. Too much sparkle under dim light. I use the chrono function more than once a week. #2 on my rotation frequency is my GMT-C. Bold, solid, accurate, legible; excellent travel watch - and has a date function. The Glidelock clasp with the folding half-link is a wonderful feature that I use frequently. Rotating bezel works as a crude timer in some situations. Did I mention it has a date?So, down to my dilemma -I took both these watches with me to the Torneau/Omega shop yesterday and they had the Co-Axial in the display case. I'm o

Considering a Planet Ocean..Need a little direction
Hello, to date I have been just a Rolex and old pocket watch kind of guy. But, the Orange Planet Ocean really has my attention. The problem is I cannot figure out what is what. It seems there are two sizes. 42mm and 45.5mm. Then it seems like there is a new in house 8500 movement as opposed to an older 2500 or 2900(?) movement that may be an ETA. When I look on eBay, some of them have many bids and some no bids. On this forum the Planet Oceans seem to sell right away. I called a dealer some 75 miles from where I live and he said he has a new 8500 42mm for $4500. I probably have no interest in a new one. Especially at that price. So I seem to have done as much research as I can but still really have no clear idea as to what is out there and what I would be buying. Any enlightenment that some of you could give me on what seems a myriad of choices would be welcome.

SOOO Happy !! Getting a new PO on Wed. !!
Good day all, I am VERY excited, I finally did it. I ordered an Omega Planet Ocean (see picture below). I ordered it today from Father Johns AD (a VERY nice gentleman who KNOWS his stuff), and will have it on Wednesday ! I'm very excited, I haven't got a new watch since my last Omega Seamaster, which I purchased new in 2005. I cannot WAIT until Wed. gets here !Anyway, here is the watch I decided to go with (Planet Ocean model number 2200.51.00) :
