Bulova Percheron Treble Watch For Manchester United
Last year in 2013, watches-dealer was there when Bulova announced that they would be the official watch sponsor and timekeeper of England's Manchester United Football Club. At the time, there were no particular watches ready to show that honored the new relationship, but at Baselworld 2014 Bulova introduced the Manchester United Treble within their new Percheron collection.I discussed a very special version of the Percheron with the 24k gold model here. Thankfully, Manchester United fans will not be required to spend $42,000 on watches with the logo of their favorite team. The Bulova Percheron Treble collection has three watches specially designed for the Bulova Manchester United relationship, and this ref. 63B195 is my favorite, with its steel case, matching brushed metal dial, and full two-tone Manchester United Logo on the dial.Interestingly enough, while I am not usually a fan of third-party logos on the dials of watches, the Manchester United logo works here. Why? Well, without it

HYT H2 White Gold Blue & Platinum Red Watches
For 2014, the Hyrdomechanical Horologists (HYT) will release new color and material versions of the H2 watch that they originally released in 2013 (hands-on here). If you recall, we really liked the H2, so much so that we included it in our list of top 10 watches for Baselworld 2013. The H2 is a higher-end version of the H1 (hands-on here), that was the debut model from HYT and combined a traditional mechanical movement with a liquid indicator for the hours. There are going to be three limited editions for 2014 and here we will cover the two that use new liquid colors. The new 18k white gold and titanium H2 watch offers a new look for the popular model with a lovely blue, versus green, liquid hour indicator. Next, is a platinum & titanium model with a cool red hour indicator liquid.The movement in the H2 looks like a piston engine and is produced in collaboration with Renaud & Papi, though they aren't involved in the liquid system. With 192 hours of power reserve, it has a retr

1973 Speedmaster
I currently have a Rolex 14060, it is my only watch outside of a Casio G Shock. My goal is to add a Speedy, or another Rolex, to truly begin my collection. As of late, I've really been leaning toward having that next piece being from my birth year - 1973. From what I see out there, the 1973 Speedmasters are just flat out ugly - the series 378s and Mark III have very odd cases, and to me are unattractive watches. Does anyone out there have one, or know someone who does, that might be able to sway me?

Negative or disappointing PP experience?
I was indirectly involved with the return of a PP 5170 to PP for a complete repair/service. It was in an optically bad shape with broken smashed glass as the owner had been involved in a severe accident. The case was neither badly scratched nor dented, but appeared to have some dinks here and there from daily use. The breaking of the glass caused it to get in contact with the hour and minute pointers which got bent out of shape from the top toward the dial (from outside to inside along their length). The dial got scratched due to the broken glass.The watch was brought to the main AD of PP in Switzerland at the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich who could not perform the repairs in their own little atelier. They sent it to PP in Geneva for repair. After two months the first call was made to the AD to enquire about the state of repairs. The status was unknown and we were told to call in a week. One week later the answer was that the watch was still being repaired, with no further details. About tw
