Close-Up: the $150, Swiss-Mechanical Swatch Sistem51
One of the most buzzed-about new watch launches in recent years is the Sistem51, a new mechanical watch from the Swatch brand. First released in Switzerland, the Swatch Sistem51 became available at U.S. retailers in 2014. In this article, we explore what makes these watches fascinating.There are three main features that make the Sistem51 noteworthy. First, like the original Swatch quartz watches, it has only 51 components, whereas most mechanical watches have upwards of 100. Also like the original Swatch, its assembly is entirely automated. Finally, it will cost just $150.?The four models are Sistem Red, Sistem Blue, Sistem Black and Sistem White. The red and blue models have translucent plastic cases and black silicone straps with accent-color stitching. Their dials are black with a red or blue central seconds hand, respectively. The bezel is in black plastic with white Super-LumiNova hour markers. Through the caseback, a transparent crystal rotor is visible, as well a printed ¡°star-b

Greenwich
There is a Greenwich ending tonight on the swamp, I"m sure we have all seen it. It doesn't have a back case or winding stem. How hard would it be to track down a back case? No one has bid on it so I assume it might be tough. Maybe there is something else wrong with it that I'm not seeing. Kind of digging the watch though....Auction number: 170760039055

Need help with watch strap
I'm going on a trip in about a week, and I want a new brown strap for my watch to match my shoes and belt. I plan on buying a higher quality strap in the future, but for now I'm going to pick something up cheap at my local watch dealer. What color and texture should I get to complement this watch? Dark brown? Medium brown? Alligator? Regular leather?Here's my watch:Thanks.

Daytona or Submariner. Need your wisdom!
Hello, i'm currently in a little bit of a pickle and would appreciate your thoughts on my next purchase.I currently own a Rolex Hulk and a breitling navitimer (which I will sell following this next purchase)My next purchase will be either a Rolex Daytona 116250 (2012) with no box/papers but with a RSC card in 2017 Nov for $13500 US or a 14060 (2000 swiss only dial with no box and papers for 6000US. Can I get your thoughts on which watch I should go for and why :) I love both watches.Also, would the watches having no B/P cause you to pause when purchasing these watches. I know they are 100% authetntic as they are from reputable sellers I know personally.Kind regards, Cloitus

Reorganization Thoughts
I¡¯ve begun the process of clearing out some watches I don¡¯t wear. I¡¯m working on selling my Victorinox Air Boss and Tag Heuer Aqua Racer. I¡¯m also sadly selling off my two 39mm beauties. Ive already sold my Explorer and plan to sell my Railmaster. As much as I love them, I never seem to wear anything in 39mm. I feel like 40mm is the sweet spot for me and Rolex.So I¡¯m thinking about getting rid of everything above including my 42mm Explorer 2 and adding one of the following to my white Milgauss: either a NIB black GMT Master 2 or a gently used Bluesy.The Bluesy or GMT would be my every day watch and the Milgauss would be the mix in. Both 40mm and both with polished center links, which I¡¯m loving more and more.I¡¯d love some feedback or thoughts before pulling the trigger.Thanks,MikeSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
