Baume & Mercier Capeland Watches For 2011
The first time that I wrote about Baume & Mercier's new for 2011 Capeland collection watches I was a bit irritated. The reason for that sentiment was the revival of the Capeland name in a thoroughly retro collection, whereas the original Capeland watches from about a decade or so ago were much more modern. In fact, these heritage style timepieces are modeled after watches from the late 1940s, not the late 1990s. I still feel a tender sense of nostalgia toward the original collection and would have preferred that Baume & Mercier use a different name for these watches but, aside from than that, I am stricken by the appeal of these new Capelands.Baume & Mercier will initially offer seven variations of this model. I am sure you can find them available already. The historic look of the watches is cleverly done with two different dial styles. One is a bit more classic with pomme hands and a snailed tachymeter scale. The other is a bit more to my taste with more mid-century-style?

Flipped 116200 for 16570
First Rolex was a 116200 which I bought last May, always felt the 36mm a touch small. Found that 40mm is what suits me best, I’ve a 14060M and DJ41 blue dial so wanted the polar white face as a change to the other 2 Rolex I have....Traded my 116200 for this 16570, 3185 cal from 2006 which arrived today. This is gonna be my daily beater, really like it.

Looking to flip
Hello. Just wanted some opinions. I am looking to flip either my Omega or Breitling Steelfish for a Panerai 000564.I just purchased my DSSD right before Christmas so that is out. Absolutely in love with it! The Omega is my only Chrono. They don't make this style of Steelfish anymore and it was my first Nice Watch.Any comments or opinions would be appreciated!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
