Oris RAID Chronograph Limited Edition Watch
Have it known that the US side of Oris's operation is comprised of some very lovely, helpful people. While I didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked with them at Baselworld 2010, I will be spending more time with their watch collection in June. I was able to get shots of a very cool limited edition piece - the Oris RAID Chronograph. RAID is a rally race of vintage cars. It now takes place in Switzerland and France, and only includes automobiles made before 1975.

Omega GMT 2535.80.00
Good Day All,I was looking at a few watches today. I am thinking of getting an Omega GMT 2535.80.00 the new model (with the Glassback and Co-Axial movement) or a Panerai (PAM 210 or 183). Both very different watches but I can only buy one next year. Does anyone have the Omega GMT 2535.80.00? Is it a good watch? I want to get something with a glass back (and maybe 24 hour GMT).Thanks,Eric

Trade advice.... again.
Realise that my 5711 (white) is not the most loved in my collection as I have been considering various trades. None have come live as realise it's rather special after all and it gets a fair share of wrist time and trading a patek for a diffrent brand feels wrong. But having a 5712 as well I would something a bit diffrent. I have the opportunity to trade against a 5711r but need to add aprox usd 8000 in between. Advise please ...Many thanks in advance and happy holidays
