Clerc Hydroscaph Limited Edition Chronograph Watches
This year sees three versions of the Clerc Hydroscaph Limited Edition Chronograph watch. This unique piece is attractive as well as functional. Clerc uses a special movement that offers a full 12 hour chronograph with just two subdials. Rather than have two hands in one of the subdials, the main dial is used to measure both the chronograph seconds and the minutes. Wearing them I find the pieces to be extremely cool probably one of Clerc's best creations thus far.The Calibre C608 automatic movement is exclusively made for Clerc. I find the layout of it very enticing as it adds to the dial aesthetic as well as making the chronograph easier to read. I do want to say that this Clerc dial has been cleaned up some and the result is quite elegant. The design is almost artful in its approach to making a watch face more visually interesting. Legibility is maintained, and I love the hands - on all versions they stick out so well.Note how the chronograph pushers have been designed, they look like

Trying Before You Buy
Over the past four years I've tended to buy and sell watches because they had eventually proved not to be keepers after all. I partially attribute this to my search for the watch that was " actually me " if you see what I mean. I've liked watches at first sight and bought them if not then and there, after some research and discussion but as I said, these have not lasted. The only watch I have spent time over, tried a few times ( four in all ) has been the Speedy Pro. I tried it twice with a bracelet and twice on a strap and liked both versions. I know now that it is important to take time over the decision to buy. In particular to try on the watches as often as is possible. Annoy some ADs in the process too perhaps. The alternative would be for the watches to end up in the sales forum as they have. I don't regret the watches I've bought. They have all been an experience, perhaps not of almost equal measure but I believe one takes something from a watch unless of course it is a total bu

To flip or not to flip? That is the question
Most of you know that I've recently picked up a 5711 and I'm currently enjoying it very much. It definitely gets the most wrist time out of the few pieces that I own. I wake up every morning and head to the safe, look at both my Nautilus and my AP and I ponder for no more than half a second before I grab my Patek.I have not lost any love for the 15300 but I'm concerned that there are too many similarities between it and my 5711. So much so, that I would always prefer the Patek to the AP in any situation.So here's the dilemma. I've pretty much hit the wall for now on how much I'd like to invest into watches. I don't regret venturing into the world of haute horology but it has definitely limited me to the number of pieces I can possess at any one time. I'm also a person who craves variety and I'm always looking to achieve some sort of balance.While I'm very happy with my current collection I'm constantly thinking about what I can add/replace to have a more well rounded collection. So tha

Basel Dreams: What model would you like Omega to deliver?
Earlier in the forum there was a photo of a black dialed Bond Seamaster, which looks quite nice. Personally, I would love to see a return to the older style of Constellation. The kind they used to make in the 1950's. Given their current line of DeVille models, I am guessing this is unlikely. Still, I admire those older Constellations. What is your wish?
