La D de Dior Watch Has Amazing Colors
Love it or hate it, I think that this women's watch by Dior is rather beautiful. While not something I would wear as a man (duh), I enjoy looking at it a lot. Called the La D de Dior Color, the whimsical watch has a stunning assortment of colorful stones on the dial and bezel. It is hard to deny that the rainbow style look is not artistic. It is also a complex creation, requiring the detailed selection of many stones types, colors, and size. You can see more details below on that.The 38mm wide case is done in palladium (similar to platinum) and contains an LVMH group mechanical manually wound movement made by Zenith. Dior indicates that the watch can also be made in 18k white gold. Really beautiful as eye candy and as art. diorwatches-dealerTechnical Specifications from Dior:The La D de Dior - 38 mmNumbered (No. 1)Housing:Palladium white gold set with diamonds 210Crown set with diamondsBezel set Paraiba tourmalines, emeralds, tsavorite garnet, yellow sapphires, garnets spessartites, sp

Maurice de Mauriac Summer 2011 Chronograph Modern Watches
Here is a little watch porn for you in the form of two new Maurice de Mauriac Chronograph Modern watch styles. I have covered the Chronograph Modern watches before but Maurice de Mauriac keeps coming out with upgrades and new styles. The first one here is a version of the Le Mans 53 in black with a case fitted alligator strap - really slick. Next is a stealthier version of the Chronograph Modern with a blue chronograph seconds hand and a cool new woven leather strap - much as was done by Bedat & Co.The Chronograph Modern models come in a variety of styles and sizes that are 39, 42, or 45mm wide. Part of the point of getting a Maurice de Mauriac watch is the customization involved and, ideally, you visit them in Z??rich to do so. Prices for these models are 3,650 Swiss Francs for the Le Mans version and 3,950 Swiss Francs for the version with the woven leather strap.

Newbie in the rotation
I love when Sam my watchmaker calls after finishing a vintage acquistion for me. A few weeks ago I picked up a 1969 Constellation with the 751 day/date calibre. He called me when he got back from vacation and let me know it was done yesterday. I went down and picked out a band, and he put the buckle on so I'm wearing it today. (I purposely did NOT include a wrist shot just to drive Leo mad )There is one little freckle on the dial between the center pinion and the 7 o'clock indice over the "o":You can just see the Omega symbol in the center of the crystal:The buckle has a few tiny imperfections that aren't noticeable to the naked eye:Overall, I'm giddy! For a grand total of $520 I have a great watch with a mint movement in all original condition. This is the type of deal that makes collecting worthwhile.

5711 vs 5712 regrets?
Hi all,The Nautilus is my dream watch, but I find the decision between 5711 and 5712 almost impossible. I love basic 3 handers and all indices visible (Think Rolex 14060 or 1016) so that says 5711. I also love micro rotors, power reserves and small red contrasts on a dial, so that all says 5712.Anyway, my question is: Did you ever own one - and up/downgrade it to the other? (5780 and 5726 does not count)I am fascinated with how torn I am between the 2, so wondering If anyone else feels the sameThx, M
