Jaeger-LeCoultre Very Fine & Rare Memovox "Tribute to Deep Sea" Europ Version

Design your own. . .
It is safe to say we are not thrilled with the 2008 new models so let's offer our 2 cents to Hamilton as to what we would like to see, in case there will be some 20081/2 watches introduced.For me, I would love a 38-40mm US release Piping Rock.

Help me pick my next watch!
I've narrowed it down to these two. I love them both, and hopefully i'll own both sooner or later, but for now i'm finding it impossible to decide between the two. I think the IWC Portuguese will add something different to my collection, as I don't own a long power reserve watch (7 days is nice!). My second pick is a Patek Philippe Calatrava. I think it's just a classic, beautiful watch, and it houses Patek's brilliant 324 movement. If I end up going for the IWC, i'm not sure if I would prefer the red gold, or the SS version. Here is a picture of the SS for reference.I would love to hear any comments any of you have about either of these watches, and especially from anyone who owns either of them. I plan on pulling the trigger within the next few weeks so any input will be greatly appreciated!

Looking for my version of the perfect watch, please help.
Hello all, I¡¯m new here and honestly haven¡¯t read too many post yet. Please forgive me if this has been covered recently. But I am just about to give up my search for any watch that has a particular list of functions. Because of my job I spend as much time working in darkness as I do light. Because of that I need a watch that has a backlight that shows most if not all the information on a watch dial. Such as Timex¡¯s Indiglo, however Casio¡¯s LED lights suck (which is on most of their G-shock), and therefore will not work. Casio¡¯s EL backlight is good, but they don¡¯t couple that with the other features I like. Citizen claims that only the Skyhawk fits my criteria, but at night the analog feature is useless. Now comes the picky part. I like watches that don¡¯t need battery replacements if at all possible. Like Solar, or Kinetic etc. Atomic time keeping, with a date that displays day of week, and day of month. All this coupled with an analog face. Oh, and it absolutely has to be water resis

Traveling with nice watches
I usually like to bring 1-2 nice watches with me on trips unless I'm going to a 3rd world type country. I'm leaving for Bordeaux France in a few weeks and I'm trying to decide which watches to bring. Now typically if we were visiting a large European city I'd def go with something more low-key... i.e. something in steel and no Rolexes and nothing gold. This trip we will be doing mainly wine tours and eating at nice restaurants in the French countryside... not even spending any time in Bordeaux city other than to land. Would my 44mm ROO rose gold be to flashy for French wine country? My other option would be a 42 mm IWC Chronograph Classic in rose gold for a more reserved look. I also plan on brining one of my 44 mm Panerai's for a casual watch. Or maybe just stick with one Panerai and call it a day? Wish I had a 41 mm Royal Oak chronograph in steel... that would be perfect for this trip.Do most of you go more low-key with timepieces when traveling or do you just bring whatever you want

Best Value for the $$$
I’m looking to buy a Rolex either new or pre-owned. I have about $8k to spend. I’m considering the 116610LN, 116622 platinum, 116710. Any suggestions are appreciated. I recently sold my 116610LN and i’m Not sure if i made a mistake. Lol
