bold limited-edition timepiece represents the third series in Concord��s exploration
This bold limited-edition timepiece represents the third series in Concord's exploration of the tourbillon. Three tourbillons are in action here, each rotating at different speeds to perform distinct gravity-defying functions. Two of them are nested one inside the other while the third tourbillon carriage rotates a separate balance on a single axis in the conventional way, but at the relatively high speed of one revolution every 36 seconds. The hours and minutes are shown on discs rotating against their respective markers, and the seconds appear on a scale around the bi-axial tourbillon. Sapphire and citrine gemstones are used to indicate the power reserve. Eleven color-graded blue sapphires from dark to pale show the power left in the mainspring. When the six yellow citrines appear against the marker, the wearer knows it's time to wind up the watch.

Joined the club
Three months ago I sold my Rolex Sub C Date, a watch that almost never left my wrist for the two-and-a-half years I had it, for quick cash after buying a new Harley and realizing something had to go (I know, life is tough..cough..cough...ahem). Since then I've had watch-lust; longing for a fine timepiece on my wrist. A few days ago I satisfied the lust and visited my trusted Rolex and Omega AD and got a Seamaster Professional Diver

Flipping my BLNR
I know most of you guys will think I'm nuts. Many probably do already. But I just don't love my Rolex watches anymore. I've come back to the brand a few times. And I like a few of the new releases, but for now I'm cutting back to one. Nothing has ever really been safe in my collection, but the BLNR was supposed to be a keeper for a few reasons. Yet, I dont, and won't wear it. I've tried. I just always take it right off. The little lady agreed and flipping for a brandy new Omega that is on its way. The pics of the new 300 blew me away. I didn't love it in person. But each time I saw it in the steel, I liked it more and more. It grew on me quite a bit. And then the blue titanium was tried on. Love the comfort and styling. Pics to come when it arrives. Motto if this story, no watch is safe in my collection.

My 1968 321 Speedmaster & 1969 861 Speedmaster
Over the years I managed to pick up both from original owners these 2 Speedmasters. They are some of my favorite chronos to wear.

Am I Crazy or Just Content ?!?
Well, as some of you know through PM's, et al that I have been looking at other PP since January. I have been through several different styles... Calatrava, Complications, GC and keep coming back to the same dilemma. That is, do I already have the perfect piece ? 5167 ?? This watch can do it all and it's a Patek !! More complicated Patek's costing over 100K are built upon the 324 SC movement which is reassuring and I would not call this a beater watch by any means, but it can do most everything (Almost pulled the trigger a few weeks ago and was going to purchase a 5227 and 5396 but said wait ! Am I buying these to wear or something to have around ? I thought about it and decided that my 5167 was good enough for now). I have a hole burning in my pocket and could easily afford a GC piece (or two) on down, but feel like I would never give it the time of day with the strap on the 5167. I've been told that leather / alligator straps are not at all comfortable in the Summer heat whi
