Pre Basel 2008 - Clerc Hydroscaph GMT Diver 1000m, Diving Just Got A Whole Lot More Extreme!
There are divers watches and then there are?DIVERS watches! The new Hydroscaph GMT Diver 1000m from Clerc is the kind of watch you would wear if you could go base jumping underwater. To say it is extreme is an understatement, this watch is 100% in your face and to be honest...I love it! The unsual lines and curves coupled with the stunning dial all come together to present a truly excellent example of advanced watch design.?Having said that, however, one of the things that really impresses me about this watch is that despite the fact it has been designed to stand out, Clerc has not sacrificed functionality for form. Thanks to a helium valve (pictured on the reverse side of the watch), which is adjusted by a rotating bezel and unique in its genre, this sumptuous timepiece is water-resistant to 1000 metres. It also features a power-reserve indicator and a?world-first system for adjusting it to the wrist.The specifications on this extreme piece are equally as impressive and further re-enf

It"s here!!!
Oh, yes! I love the hunt and the anticipation, but the first time you lay eyes on one of the elusive ones that now is part of your stable it's sweet! Here it is - the rg Conquest that I was looking for (please pardon the dust and reflections):It's getting tough to find the correct, original crown on these babies.The applied logo is in awesome shape, and the text on the dial is perfect. many of these watches have partially missing letters or look like they're sliding down the dial. And of course, the raised relief & painted logo in pristine shape:Okay, now to make this educational so I'm not just showing off (although there's nothing wrong with sharing a cool vintage pice any day). The reasons this particular watch was a grail of mine:1) The date window at 12 - most were at 3. Besides the symmetrical look of a 12 or 6 location, these are the hardest to find and were only made for a few years even though this Conquest series in general was produced from the mid 50's to the very

Trade A Favorite For Something Better?
I have owned a vintage Patek Philippe for 19 years, far longer than any other watch in my past or present collection. Suffice it to say, I very much admire that watch, and had never thought to part with it until recently. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1357885585.024241.jpgI really admire the Nautilus line (have for years). The 5980 chrono has been my grail since I first was aware it existed. Prior to that, my taste was a little simpler: the trusty 5711 (and the Jumbo before it).Here's the question: do I keep my long loved vintage piece and add the 5711, or part with the old friend and get the grail 5980? Factors are: I cannot afford the 5980 without liquidating the vintage piece. While some would say don't settle for less than the grail, well, we're talking 5711...not exactly settling! Besides, I could trade the 5711 and cash down the road to get the 5980. So will the 5980 make me forget all about my vintage Patek? Or will I regret it?
