A. Lange & Sohne Germany Visit Trip Update: Winter Watch Wonderland
I am in Germany maybe 10 minutes and the signs of watch insanity are in my face. On my 4 hour layover in Munich to Dresden I am surprised to see that Munich's domestic terminal is basically one big watch store. There is a huge open watch store in the middle with tons of rare brands, and those that you don't even see in America at all, such as Certina and Union Glashutte. There is certainly an air of haute horology already. The first picture is of a magazine and gift store display. They actually highlight their collection of watch magazines! This is just too much good stuff, and I am on my way to being prepared for A. Lange & Sohne's upcoming spectacular display.I spent most of my first day in Glashutte where A. Lange & Sohne is headquartered visiting their factory and seeing some new watches (as well as existing watches). There is so much to admire in this brand in each place I look. Regardless of the snow falling outside, I was warm and excited as I entered each new room of th

Anyone out there! Let's see those pics. Strap or bracelet! It's my favourite reference....

2 weeks, 6000 dollars
Paid a deposit for the 5712 back in September, I was told the watch will arrive in spring. Today got the email that it is here and I can pick it up anytime. So far fantastic news, the only sour point is that it is only 2 weeks after the price increase. The difference is about 6k but it feels bad as I think that patek was holding the watch until the increase is in effect. I will not miss the opportunity and will buy the watch as it is my absolute favorite. Will post some photos as soon as I get my hands on it.

TUDOR chrono opinion
Hi all.I m considering getting another chrono {my current is an OMEGA Speedie}.I m leaning towards a TUDOR.What is a better choice.....In terms of rarity {Monte carlos aside}......I personally like those with a rotating bezel [ ref 79170 ??],and it seems they command a higher price.Is it because they were made in smaller numbers ???Or should I go for pre-TIGERS [ those with ROLEX crowns and casebacks ] ???Or should I go for a TIGER...?????Any comments is welcomed.Many thanks in advance.

16710 Pepsi or BLNR ?
Hello!Long time lurker, posting for help and ideas...I have a modest Rolex collection of a Ceramic Daytona (black face 116500), Milgauss 116640 GV, 11610 Submariner and 15210 Date (wife has stolen it, fits her well : ). Looking to add another, and I've been focusing on a 16710 Pepsi GMT or a more modern 116710BLNR. While I enjoy both watches for different reasons, I am leaning toward the 16710 Pepsi. I like the slender lugs of the 16710 vs the chunkier BLNR lugs. But, I love the blue and black of the BLNR. I am 5' 10, 155lbs, and I have a 6.5 wrist. The newer thicker lugs of Rolex Sport watches seem just a bit heavy on me. Rolex 36mm watches work (love and had a 114270 Explorer), as do the 40mm watches (with slender lugs, but haven't had a 40mm new Rolex with thicker lugs, other than the Milgauss which seems to be in between).If anyone else has gone through the thick vs thin lug debate I'd be grateful for the help. Thanks!
