Of Rutledges, Can We Speak?
Could someone help me better understand the protocol around here? As a newcomer, I'm still not sure if we identify notable Hamiltons for sale and discuss them or no?On a Porsche forum I frequent a high percentage of the threads are about cars that come on the market mostly on the internet. Somebody sees a 912 for sale, posts photos, links, etc. and the discussion proceeds with everyone offering opinions on originality, desirability and condition. This Hamilton forum seems a carbon copy of the Porsche forum (or vis versa) but I don't see quite the same kind of discussion here. Is this the result of the forum rules controversy? Or, does the fact that members may be bidding against one another suppress this discussion? Or, do members prefer to keep choice listings confidential? Currently, there are two Rutledges offered for sale "on the internet." To me, it seems strange not to see a lively discussion of these watches. When I saw the second Rutledge come available, my first inst

Today's Featured Watch Company, Ulysse Nardin
I was at a GTG some time back, and encountered several UN's in person. The quality of the watches impressed me, they were finished impeccably, and they just looked superb.Many of the models have in house movements, others still, have highly reworked versions of ETA calibres.Please post your UN pics and thoughts.--------------------------------------------------------------------------Ulysse Nardin¡¯s story1846 Ulysse Nardin established the company of the same name in Le Locle, after serving his apprenticeship first under his father, L¨¦onard-Fr¨¦d¨¦ric, then under William Dubois, a specialist manufacturer of marine chronometers and astronomical watches.1862 Ulysse Nardin was awarded the Prize Medal at the World¡¯s Fair in London in the complicated watches and pocket chronometers category.1876 Ulysse¡¯s son Paul-David Nardin took over the family firm.

Gold Sport Watches
Ok - I was thinking the other day, who makes a nice looking gold sports watch? I'm not talking dress or semi-dress styles, many people make those. But who out there makes a nice, sporty watch, but in 18k rose, yellow or white gold? I realize many of you are "not gold people", and probably double so on the sports models. But, to those that are, what's even out there? I'm not looking to buy anything, but just curious and looking for conversation here. As this is for informative fun, price is no object! The ones I've thought of so far are;IWC - the Chrono Pilot in rose gold is absolutely stunning & definitely in the sport range.Panerai - Don't remember the model name, but I don't think many Pannies can be called a true 'dress watch'.Rolex - You've got the gold Subs, Yachtmasters, GMT & Daytonas.. Though they are only available on gold bracelets (except the Daytona which is available on a strap)Zenith - Certainly a sport look. BlancPain - The 50 Phantom is available in gold

Rolex Vs Jaeger LeCoultre
Hey guysCompare these two brands according with their materials, movements, prestige/image...et.c

Would you consolidate to a 5970?
I am seriously considering consolidating a large part of my collection to fund a 5970j. I was going to trade an AP RO SS perpetual calendar, a PP 5059j, an AP ROO Alinghi dual time, and an 18k bronze GMT II. Would you do that trade or keep the wide variety. I will be left with a 5712, a 5726a and a 5726 1/a white along with a SD, a black Daytona and a president. What do you guys think?
