Event Recap: Blancpain Watches At Tourbillon Store In San Francisco
The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is an iconic watch. Don't believe me? Well, do a little research on Google and you should quickly find three key attributes justifying the icon status: 1) it's one of the original dive watches that one could take 100s of meters under water without fear of damage; 2) it's the first watch to include a unidirectional rotating bezel that allows quick timing of your dive; and 3) it's one of the first watches to include enough luminescent material on its dial and bezel to make it readable at diving depths or in murky waters.It is therefore not surprising that Blancpain owns some of the original patents around diving watches, and famous pioneer divers, such as Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his team, wore Blancpain when they helped popularize the sport in the ?early 1950's.However, while innovation alone would assure Blancpain its place in the annals of watchmaking, after all, dive watches are some of the most popular models (even today, when most dive watches hardly se

My 3rd Audemars Piguet on the way
Hello,Some may remember I previously had a ROO Rubberclad and a BumbleeBee, sold them and went with a more conservative lineup. Well for the past few months I had a Royal Oak itch that needed scratching and finally after reviewing the lineup and doing some research I just negotiated with a well known seller on the boards to get me a AP 15202st.AP as a brand is more the style I like and still prefer it to PP when it comes to sports watches, I gave the nautilus a try and not emotionally connected to the dial nor the bezel. After 2 years of no Audemars Piguet on my wrist I am now awaiting my new special piece which is a 15202st Royal Oak 40th anniversary extra thin.I wouldnt of thought I would go for simple style watches a couple of years back where I had ROO's. A 180 degree turn as they say in collection.Previously:Panerai 339 Marina Militaire Composite CeramicAP BumbleBeeAP ROO RubberClad.Zenith Defy Classic 2 tone.Now:Breguet Marine Big Date SSRolex Daytona 116520Rolex GMT2 16710 stick

Suggestions for my new ��collection��...
I have a 36mm DJ that I bought new in 2007 and a Sub-date that I bought new in 2008. I would like to buy a few more Rolexes over the next few years so I end up with a small collection of 5 watches that I will enjoy and then pass along to my Son. I do want a Ceramic Daytona, so that leaves 2 more. I prefer stainless steel and want new watches, so what would you recommend that might be considered collectible one day?
