Ladoire Black Widow "Mr. Green" Limited Edition Watch
Coming up from Swiss Ladoire - featuring the youthful punkish talents of Lionel Ladoire - is Mr. Green. Mr. Ladoire kept teasing us with bits and pieces of information about Mr. Green, and now Mr. Ladoire has delivered. Officially, this is the Ladoire Black Widow "Mr. Green" watch. It is a slight redesign of his other collection of Roller Guardian watches, that I wrote about here. What I mean by this is that the movement is inherently the same. The changes to it are thematically in line with what Hautlence has done for many of its watches.

Omega Speedmaster: underwhelmed
I've been eyeing an omega speedmaster as a potential addition to the collection and was able to try on the mechanical 42mm and automatic 44mm versions this past weekend. Both on black leather omega straps. They wore quite well, despite the larger mm size (I wear a GMT 16710 and sub LVc), but honestly they didn't really do much for me. I was a bit disappointed, given the speedmaster's iconic status. Not sure what exactly was missing. Anyone else have that reaction to a speedmaster or omega?The search continues!Thanks.

Can you remember what started it all?
Hi all. I thought this might be a different type of thread.Can you remember your very first watch, the one that got you into collecting watches in the first place? the one that stole your heart (and money) Mine was the Breitling Chronomat TT which is no longer with me. That was back in 2007 and I've loved every minute of our wonderful hobby ever since. Why not post photos and details of your first and share with us all.
