Cartier Astrotourbillon Carbon Crystal Limited Edition Watch
Cartier recently wowed watch nerds with the rather impressive Cartier ID Two concept watch. Those with the budget to even theoretically purchase one are likely to be disappointed that the ID Two (like the ID One watch) will never be for sale. However, at the same time Cartier announced the ID Two, it also announced the limited edition Rotonde de Cartier Astrotourbillon Carbon Crystal watch that incorporates some of the technology and will be for sale.[youtube youtubewatches-dealer/watch?v=jBueaaEuuGk]The Cartier Astrotourbillon (hands-on here) originally came out about two years ago. The super cool watch had an in-house Cartier made movement that was a re-think of the traditional tourbillon escapement. The "astrotourbillon" - as they called it - was an escapement mechanism that spun around the periphery of the dial as a running seconds indicator, just like a hand. Personally, I instantly fell in love with the concept when seeing it in action for the first time at SIHH. Last year Cartie

DeLaneau Rectangular Dome Green Sunrays Watch
Lovely isn't it? Too bad it is only for women. And if you are a woman, then too bad you most likely cannot afford it. This is one of DeLaneau's Rectangular Dome watches. Here in its "Green Sunrays" variant with a green jade and mother-of-pearl face. Movement is the DL 1608 automatic with jumping hours and jumping minutes. Think about the very small club of watches that offer that. Price is 125,000 Swiss Francs.See my full article on the DeLaneau Rectangular Dome Green Sunrays watch here at Haute Living.

Bracelet links for Speedmaster 3330.20
First time poster here on the Omega forum. I've been interested in a Speedmaster and had pretty much settled on a 3570.50 - looks to be a great watch. Then I saw a 3330.20, DA 375.0034. This is a SS and gold watch and bracelet. Here's the concern. The bracelet is only 6.9 and I need 7 1/2. I know on the Rolex side, there are some trusted sellers who have many older Rolex parts. How about for the above watch? I certainly can't consider buying it if I can't wear it? Thanks!

I think I have a crush on the 5960-1A
I am not big into Patek but recently I have been reviewing their line and trying to figure out what I might like if I decided to get one someday. I really find the 5960-1A interesting. It has an annual calendar, chronograph, and date night indicator all for under 35k on the grey market. When we consider that a 5711 is about 25k, you get so much more in the 5960-1A. What are the general feelings about this watch on the forum?
