Watch Experts Network: ‘#TBT Fortis Marinemaster 8001 Chronograph’
Basel prognostications begin as early as January and start in earnest in February. One of the most discussed brands, of course, is Rolex. A quick browse of Rolex forums brings out multitudes of hypotheses about what the giant will release at the show and, then, a month or so later, the actual news is almost universally met with disappointment. While some of the hoped-for watches are plausible, I¡¯ve seen some fairly wild ones alongside creative photoshopped images. One imaginative idea that I remember distinctly was of a Submariner chronograph or, perhaps, a Daytona diver. In actuality, the idea is not so far-fetched as there are plenty of diving chronographs and why wouldn¡¯t Rolex, who is apt in making both styles of watch, wander down that conjoined path? Well, who knows the answer to that question, but I do at least come with a semi-plausible solution. That solution, readers, is the subject of today¡¯s #TBT and comes in the form of the surprising, yet highly credible Fortis Marinemast

Decided on a watch for my wife...
She asked me to pick one for her, and she would trust my judgment. Well, I went with a brand I'd never heard of for several reasons:I doubt they were making their own movements - they were probably using one of the more common self winding ones made at the time.I really like the way it looks, and I think it suits her personality better than the tiny banded watches that look more like a bracelet than a watch.I didn't want to spend too much money, since it is a bit of a gamble as to whether she'll like it.She is not brand conscious at all. She'd rather have a Timex than a Rolex if the Timex suited her better.Now that I've given my rationalizations, here it is:cgi.ebay/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Incoming: Invicta Reserve Chrono in Rose Gold
I picked this up this evening NIB off the bay for $325 shipped. I've been looking for something in rose gold, and I really liked the black MOP dial & hands on this one. I'll most likely put a black croc strap on it to tone it down a notch.

Tried the Pilots watch on this weekend
My AD hosted an event this weekend to view the latest Patek releases. Top of the list for me to try was the 5524. I have to say I loved it! The case size and shape is perfect. I think it was very clever of Patek to make this. If they wanted a new big sporty / casual watch in the collection, then I can't think of a better watch style than a pilots watch. A dive watch, for example, from Patek would be ridiculous, but I think they can get away with a pilots watch and I can see it bringing a new generation of Patek owners into the brand. The pushers on the left aren't pretty, but they are functional, and from the brief time I wore the watch you don't really notice them. Also the strap complements the watch perfectly and is very comfortable. I didn't like the placement of the date corrector, though, between the lugs as it looked a little inaccessible to me. Also tried on the 5990. In my opinion a big improvement on the 5980 (for me). If I ever get round to posting my 5980 review I'll go int
