Pre-SIHH: 3 New Watches from Panerai, Lange, & Jaeger-LeCoultre
Geneva’s SIHH watch fair is only a month away, and the luxury watch brands exhibiting there continue to offer sneak peeks at several of their new timepieces set to debut in 2014. This week we take a look at three new watches from Panerai, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and A. Lange & S?hne.The Panerai Luminor 1950 Left-Handed 3 Days – 47 MM (Ref. PAM00557), with its winding crown and patented crown protection device positioned at 9 0’clock on the left side of the case, recalls some of Panerai’s earliest models created for Italian naval commandos of the 1930s and 1940s. These military divers used to wear several wrist instruments at once, including compasses and depth gauges, and often preferred to wear the watch on their right wrist. The modern version of this vintage Panerai watch has a cusped caseband that distinguishes it from the traditional Luminor 1950 case and, in the historical models, represented the transition between the Radiomir and Luminor case styles.

Welcome letter after registeration
Question: Do you get a welcome letter from Patek every time you register a new watch? I got one for the first two, but not for the third and I am just wondering if this is unusual.

SS Rolex Sky Dweller Blue vs. AP Royal Oak 41mm 15400 Blue
I'm aware this is a forum for Rolex enthusiasts and owning three myself (GMT BLNR, Two-tone ceramic GMT 116713, Sub-C 116610LN) I'm clearly a fan. However, lately I've been torn between the SS Sky Dweller in blue and the AP Royal Oak 41mm 15400.The Sky-D is a bit flashy for me but I love the GMT function (yes I know I already have two GMTs but I travel internationally for work quite often) and the bright gorgeous dial, heft and 42mm size. It is definitely a statement piece that will draw a lot of attention and praise. And an amazing complication by Rolex. The AP Royal Oak on the other hand, especially in blue, is an absolute classic. Simple, elegant, timeless and exudes pure class without being flashy. One of the rare watches that can be worn as a sports or dress watch. Only 10mm thick making it a very understated 41mm. Both are currently very hard to get as the AP has a boutique-only 1-2 year waiting list here in Singapore and the Sky-D might be even longer, especially the blue
