Arnold & Son Royal TEC1 Tourbillon Chronograph Watch
Just when we were beginning to think that the tourbillon was as played-out as a top 40 hit, Arnold & Son pulls us back in. After the success of last year's Baselworld release of the UTTE, Arnold and Son had set a high bar for this year's new model. With the recent announcement of the TEC1 Tourbillon Chronograph, I think we can consider that bar blown away. Part of their Royal collection, the TEC1 features a brand new in-house movement that combines a tourbillon, column wheel chronograph and automatic winding. With a beautiful and uncommon dial layout, the TEC1 offers huge amounts of complexity while maintaining the clean and elegant lines seen in Arnold & Son's HMS1 line.Any in-house automatic chronograph movement is noteworthy, but the Arnold & Son A&S8305 is something special. Running at 28,800 vph and supporting a power reserve of 55 hours, this manufacture movement supports a high frequency tourbillon at twelve o'clock along with a column wheel chronograph complicat

OT: Omega Speedmaster...
Would love to ask the Rolex community here what your thoughts are on the Omega Speedmaster Pro...I've done a bit of research, lurked in the omega forums, etc. I was looking at the: 311.30 until I found a writeup someone wrote with some pretty negative comments about the 3313 co-axial movement. I guess the other two options (excluding all the limited edition variants) are:3570.50 - hesalite3573.50 - sapphireBut as someone who's new to Omegas, I would love to hear your thoughts / impressions / experiences with any of the above models. I'm posting it here because - if the folks here give it a thumbs up, I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with the watch. That's how much I trust everyone's opinion. :-)Thanks!p.s. obligatory pic attached.

Nautilus family
Everything is so simple, up until it's complicated. The Nautilus does both, simple and complicated, with aplomb, in my opinion. Grainy iphone photo in poor light, but....Smitten and slightly obsessed...the 5726 arrived yesterday to nestle in the middle...

Next move - Please help!
Hi AllI have a question which I've been thinking over for the past few weeks. Initially, I thought it was crazy but I'm becoming more and more certain about going ahead with it. I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.My current Rolex collection consists of: DaytonaC White, SD4K, GMT II BLNR, GMT 16700 pepsi and a Hulk (incoming). Im thinking of trading all of these for a Daytona Platinum. Given I want to minimise the amount of cash I need to add, the Platona will be second hand.So far I see the positives as:-Consolidation/ simplification of my collection is good as the novelty of choice is waring off for me-I would love to be a one watch person (that will never happen but maybe one Rolex will)-I get (in my opinion) the ultimate RolexThe swap would leave me with some affordable beaters, a Royal Oak and a TAG Heuer Monaco (neither of these two can be traded).I guess my questions are:1.Would you do the trade if you were in my position and2.Can you recommend any UK based dealers to spea

which one of these watches is the best value
hello everybody,i'm a rookie, both to rolex and watches in general. after much looking around, i have decided on a new submariner 116610LN. so i checked with a couple of ADs nearby here's what i got offered:model - price - wait time114060 - $6,400 (2-3 months)116610LN - $7,300 (1-2 months)116610LV - $8,165 (3-4 months)116713LN - $11,785 (ready stock)the questions i have are: - are these good prices? i've read on several threads here that 'how you buy' is important. this will be my first luxury watch, so i don't have a relationship with any AD. it seems expecting a discount is normal, but it also seems no AD has the SS subs in stock, so i'm thinking why would they even discount it? - i am noticing that these are below list prices on the rolex website. now, i started off wanting to buy a 116610LN, but if the prices on some of the other models are better (in terms of resale value), i don't mind buying it.for example if the $100 watch will resell for $80 but the $200 watch will sell for
