Bulova Ups Their Watch Game In Los Angeles
I continue to feel that, for the money, one of the coolest watches around is a piece in the Bulova Accutron II collection. A mixture of classic good looks with the Accutron II movement (essentially, the Bulova Precisionist with its higher-than-standard accuracy for a quartz watch, with a sweeping seconds) is a fantastic way to spend just a few hundred bucks on a timepiece. The Accutron II, however, wasn't what Bulova was celebrating the other night at the Feldmar Watch Company store here in Los Angeles.They were presenting the commercial version of what will be among the most exclusive watches in the world from one of the biggest brands ¨C the Bulova Accu-Swiss Percheron 24k gold watch that we first debuted back at Baselworld 2014. It is the first watch in the world that has a solid 24k gold case. A bit odd at first, I have to say that the insane concept behind the 24k gold watch has grown on me, assuming I had a spare $42,000 to spend.The Bulova Percheron 24k Gold watch is the pinnacle

Ball Engineer Master II Pilot GMT Watch
One of the reasons I really enjoy Ball watches so much is the incredibly prolific nature of their watch department. It isn't just the amount of new watches Ball releases each year, but also the sheer variety that interests me. That, and the fact that despite all the visual novelty, most Ball watches are good at retaining that sense of core brand DNA which makes their products distinct and noticeable. Another new 2014 model is this Ball Engineer Master II Pilot GMT timepiece.Ball even goes so far as to name the designer personally - something which is highly unusual in the watch industry, especially when it comes to watches priced under $100,000, when "art" is sold more than the sheer utilitarian nature of the watch. The Ball Engineer Master II Pilot GMT watch was designed for Ball by Magali M¨¦trailler, a talented female watch designer who also created their well-regarded Ball for BMW watch collection, as well as design work for Jaeger-LeCoultre. What I think most typifies Magali M¨¦trai

Vancouver Paneristi GTG 2011
The Q&D's as Nelson and Paul had the DSLR's going faster then I could absorb info and snap with the iPhone.Date January 15Kirin Restaurant located in downtown Vancouver Organizer Jwon Suh did a fantastic job with venue, sponsorship, and taking the initiative of making this first 'Risti event happen. Awesome signs posted throughout by Wade.Name tags came in handy for meeting the new and remembering the regulars from previous gatherings. In addition, the out of town guests from south of the border (Seattle Paneristi forum regulars et al) made this event extra special.Lia, Nelson & ShannonSam designed and had the GTG shirts printed in two days!Joan, Ray, Lisa, MikeWhen the 30+ guests sat down for the set course menu, we begin to realize it's more about the people and their lives that makes GTG's so enjoyable! Of course it doesn't hurt to sprinkle the various Panerai references in between each course being served!Vic's 359!Joan's Radiomir with alarmCalvin's 217Lisa trying on Mar

Is Cal. 8500 that much better than the 2500?
Hi guys,Newby to the forum and, not really a watch collector or anything, but I have inherited a healthy respect for an accurate watch from my dear departed Dad.I am wanting an Omega automatic and cannot quite seem to decide between a PO 2201.50 and the new AT with the 8500 movement.I have decided that I like the looks of the PO better than the AT (though I am worried it might be way bigger than I am used to) but from everything I have read, the Cal. 8500 is the superior movement.So, the question I put to this group is this;Would you choose movement over aesthetics or the other way around?Stuck on the horns of a dilemma as to whether to choose the PO with 2500 or go with the less attractive (to my eye) AT because of the superior movement.Thanks in advance for your thoughts on the topic.DrumEdit: Second question, for those who have both... is the PO significantly bigger than the AT (231.10.39.21.06.001)? I have tried the AT and found it comfortable, but all the shop had when I was th
