IWC Limited Edition Pilot Watches Celebrate "The Little Prince" Birthday
Lest you think that this is some tenuous tie-in to the most recent future monarch born in the UK, just note that the two watches IWC has released to commemorate "The Little Prince" are actually a tie-in to literature.

Incoming - Rolex GMT Master 2
Just picked up this from my AD. I have always wanted a GMT watch in my collection. SS Rolex are hard to come by but I am happy my AD come good on this. I have the option of getting the BLNR but choose this instead. I prefer it's more understated appearance and love that green GMT hand. Very Rolex. Will make a good pair with my DD40 YG. Haven't got time to do more proper shots so this is quick snapshot.
