Omega Speedmaster Solar Impulse HB-SIA Watch
This is a watch that I could really see myself wanting - even though it has a carbon fiber dial that I tend to not always enjoy (though I did like it on my Tissot T-Touch Expert). Yes, this has been a month of many Omega watches, but they have had some interesting releases so they merit the attention. This is probably my favorite. I've often looked at the classic Omega Speedmaster Professional Moon Watch and thought, "yes it is cool, but I'd really like a modern version." Yes, it is true that my sentiment defeats the point of the "Moon Watch heritage," but I didn't really want to have a manually wound watch with a Hesalite (plastic) crystal to deal with. My collection might very well include a Moon Watch in the future, but it would be for historic kicks, not cause I'd want to wear it each day. Omega has released a ton of Speedmaster watches over the years with sapphire crystals and automatic movements, but this new Solar Impulse watch just really catches my eye.Let's get the whole Sola

Is "Ball" a good watch???

Lapince
I am aware this is a Patek forum, however, I opened this thread here because Lapince is a big fan of Patek.Arnaud was looking forward to coming to Baselworld, which we were going to visit together. About 5 days ago he transferred funds to his Swiss AD for his 5711 which he arranged to pick up at Baselworld. He was also going to meet Kari Voutilainen at Baselworld. He sent me his flight details via email and was supposed to arrive in Zurich last Friday night with an Air France flight arriving from Paris.He never showed up.The flight landed on time uneventfully but Arnaud was never on it. I have not received any messages or emails indicating that he would not be able to make it.I tried calling him on his French mobile and on his Ukrainian number but there was no answer with both simply ringing continuously. I contacted his AD who told me that he had last spoken with Arnaud the day before the funds were transferred where Arnaud told him I am going to come no matter what, even if I have 40

Report from the Patek exhibition
Please excuse a new thread on this topic - I was going to add my report to an existing thread, but I may need to post over a few days and it would have become too disjointed.Part 1I didn't really know what to expect from the Patek exhibition, but I have to say what a really excellent job Patek have done. The whole thing was very slick from start to finish. I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed - I wasn't expecting as many people, so my advice is if you are going get there early.Also there is an iphone app available, so download before you go to get the best out of your visit.The exhibition is split into a number of different rooms and areas. After watching a short video the first stop is the Royal room containing timepieces owned by previous royalty.The two pocket watches in the photo belonged to Queen Victoria. This is one of the rooms where there is a lot of queuing to get in, with not much time to look at the exhibits.
