SalonQP 2012 London Watch Show November 8-10
Quick note and reminder that UK-based watch lovers might want to head over to the SalonQP watch show for 2012 in London. I'd go save for the fact that I won't be in Europe at the time and they aren't quite set up yet to invite media properly. That is OK as they are still a new event (but already impressive). SalonQP is set up by the UK-based watch magazine QP, which I enjoy when I can get my hands on it.SalonQP 2012 will once again be held at the Saatchi Gallery in London this year from November 8 - 10. A lot of good brands go as well as good number UK-based brands. You can get tickets via their site here. They also have a large sponsored section on The Telegraph UK site with news of the show. By the way, if one of you going wants to cover it for us (pictures and some posts) let us know.
Winding a speedy pro
Okay I read somewhere that it is bad for the watch in some fundamental way to wind the speedy pro while still on your wrist. Any opinions?

Outgoing Rolex INcOMING Patek No 2...
Greetings folks,,Recently I have been thinking that I dont give my Rolex WG SkyDweller enough wrist time so decided to trade it in for a Patek, the question was which one, so looked around and started to warm to the SS 5711 and 5712.. After looking around at pics of both pieces here from owners of both I eventually went for the 5712 due to the more interesting dial and love that moonphase feature... Most people dont care for a moonphase BUT as I fly for a living mostly during the night I like the idea of knowing where the moon is..Enjoy the pics
