Chopard Happy Sport Oval 7 Floating Diamonds

Another new addition to the family!
Alrighty then...recently I parted ways with my Speedy as well as "loaned" my Dad my 2254.50. Bad move. The Speedy was not my personal cup o tea, but the SMP, what the heck was I thinking? Well, my mind (and wallet) started to wander and lo and behold, here are the results of a boring Sunday afternoon, and too much time spent on watch forums and browsing the Omega forum. Sorry for the crappy photos...my next purchase will be a better camera Have an awesome night guys. I am LOVING this new SMP!!!!

Hamilton of the Day: Jazzmaster Rattrapante
The Jazzmaster Rattrapante provides the perfect proof. This Split-second automatic chronograph brings a totally new dimension to the Hamilton collection with its exquisite Automatic movement. The series is limited to 365 pieces, with each watch representing one dayof the year. . . True to its French name, derived from the verb meaning ‘to recapture’,thisgives technology a totally mesmerizing quality - and a closer look is rewarded by the sight of « côtes de Genève » decoration and pearled platinum . . .Beyond the handsome exterior of the Hamilton Jazzmaster Rattrapante is a highly precise timepiece that integrates the functionality of two stopwatches. This is particularly useful for timing simultaneous actions that begin at the same time but have different durations, such as sporting events with several participants.Pic/Edited copy from Hamilton

Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000
Hey everyone. So glad to have found this forum. It's awesome knowing that there are so many people this passionate about watches heh. Recently was passed down this Omega Seamaster Cosmic 2000. It has a gold-colored strap but guessing it's not real gold. Here are some pictures: Photo Album - Imgur.It doesn't have enough sentimental value to me to keep without wearing it; just enough to have kept it around for a few months without thinking about selling it. Would like to start wearing nice watches as is my right as a man haha. I'm 22 and just graduated from college. Could envision myself maybe wearing this watch if it were silver, but not sure about the gold with my skin color. What do you guys think? The way I see it, could either sell it for about $400 or change the strap. Really coming from a clueless perspective on this, so would definitely appreciate some thoughts, including good alternatives to this one!

New Panerai Owner!
Hi everyone, just wanted to share the love as I recently got myself the 560!To be honest, I had always thought the Panerai was too big of a watch for me to pull of, and I didn't really understand the fascination of the watch with it's big numbers. After owning the Rolex Explorer II, IWC, and Tudor BB, i figured it's time to try something different!Well needless to say, this watch is really nice! and it doesn't wear as big as I had thought. I even tried a 42 mm one and that ended up too small to my liking! After reading on the forum and doing research, it was a toss up between the 560 and the 510. I ended up with the 560 because of the cleaner look. Also got a pretty good discount with the local AD. Thanks everyone for the information! Already got myself a nice Mario Paci Strap!P.S.- The Panerai box packaging is superb!

question for explorer guys.
white or black? which one do you have? did you wish you went with the other color, if so why?are you happy with the watch?Thank you.
