Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph Watch
Jaeger-LeCoultre has been riding a wave of high praise in the wake of their SIHH announcements of vintage-inspired watches, such as the Tribute to Memovox Deep Sea of 2011 and the Tribute to Deep Sea Chronograph?from earlier this year. While we like tributes as much as the next guy, we really like it when a watch manufacturer, especially one as well-regarded as JLC, can dig deep and create something that stands on its own. Case in point, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph, a more modern and practical variation of the winning formula that gave birth to the Tribute to Deep Sea Chronograph.[youtube youtubewatches-dealer/watch?v=1LPjB_U-8ao]This 42mm dive-ready chronograph features a number of changes over the 40.5 mm Tribute design we saw earlier this year. The vintage lume has thankfully been replaced with crisp white SuperLumiNova, the two register display has been upgraded to to a trio of matched sub dials and the fixed bezel of the vintage-inspired model has been swapped out in

Firenze!
I achieved one of my WIS goals last week and made it to the Panerai boutique in Florence! The spacious newly designed boutique is beautiful and smells of rich mahogany and leather bound books (Anchorman). It's about 4 times larger than any other Panerai boutique I have been to before and once they finish restoration and knock down the the wall to merge it with the original shop its going to be even larger. I tried to take pics of the inside but the sales rep told me that they wouldn't allow it yet because its only been open for 2 months and they havent even updated the Panerai website to showcase the new boutique.What I learned from this visit:1. You can save a lot of money over US retail in Europe. I was quoted $11,850 for a PAM 233 after VAT refund. Thats $4050 less than US retail. 2. PAM 233 wont have a domed crystal next year.3. I went in to try the 312, 233, 510, and 305 but came out LOVING the PAM 422. That thing is gorgeous in person but Im slightly unsure about its size. Hopef

Do people comment on the Daytona or Rolex you are wearing?
I get very few comments when I wear either stainless steel Rolex Daytona - my 2011 (116520) or my new ceramic (116500LN), both with white dials. I can't remember the last time anybody gave me a thumbs up or said a word - years.I wonder if people know and don't say anything or what. I like to talk about watches and especially Rolex. Sometimes I ask about a watch somebody is wearing and they tell me all about it and seem to know watches and still don't say a word about my SS Daytona. I guess I need to join a watch club to get in any discussion about watches.Anybody know what I am saying?
