Jeanrichard Aquascope Watch With Hokusai "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa" Dial For Japan
Swiss Jeanrichard can't seem to get enough special edition models out their doors lately - but at least most of them are pretty cool. This newest series of special models is in honor of Japan, and puts a Hokusai-inspired dial on an Aquascope watch. Let me first mention what I don't know: and that is whether or not these are part of a limited edition, or if they are to be exclusively sold in Japan. I have a feeling the answer to both is "no," but we just don't know yet. Having said that, my instinct tells me these will be part of a limited production, meaning their numbers won't be strictly limited but they aren't going to be regular models and will be produced for maybe a year or so only.For years now, we've seen dive watches with wave patterns on the dial. Brands such as Omega and Ulysse Nardin have been doing that for a while. Using instances like those as precedent, Jeanrichard decided to replicate some rather famous waves on the dials of two Aquascope models, that it touts as being

Oris Aquis Depth Gauge Watch
Capillary-style depth gauges are nothing new or particularly advanced, but they are simple and effective. Oris has managed to design one into one of its dive watches. The result is a mechanical watch with a non-electronic depth gauge that does not cost an arm and a leg. IWC and Jager-LeCoultre already proved to us that they can make those - and that is fantastic - but they were a complication for complication's sake because even if you choose to dive with a luxury watch, you probably aren't going to want to rely on it as your depth gauge. When Panerai released theirs, they simply circumvented the entire issue by keeping prices high and sticking in an electronic depth gauge module. In fact, that was pretty smart of them.This new diver is called the Oris Aquis Depth Gauge and is just that. Oris has a load of pretty good dive watches but there are a lot of them and many have seemingly small differences. On top of that, they exist in a few model families which exacerbates my confusion.

Incoming: My First AP 15400 (pics)
I have been wanting to add an AP to the collection for approximately three years and I finally pulled the trigger. I would always vacillate between the Diver and the classic RO 15300. Whenever I would go to the AD, the 15300 was the look that wanted, but it always just seemed a tad too small to wear with my 85% casual wardrobe.When the 15400 was released, I was thrilled. I got to try one on in Vegas last fall and I knew that it was the one for me :) This week, I finally decided to buy one and I am absolutely thrilled with it. The dial is quite amazing, especially in the sun. I have never seen anything like it. Picture don't do it justice, but without further ado, here she is...

Some AP ROO Montauk Highway Pics
Promised to post a few snaps. Forgive the poor quality. Wanted to get some of the dial texture while keeping it all in focus, but depth of field didn't work out too well. Will replace it I get better ones. My personal assessment is the flash slightly lightens the blue.

Price for the Rose Gold GMT II?
