SIHH 2015 Preview: Richard Mille RM 33-01
For 2015, Richard Mille introduces the new RM 33-01, powered by the skeletonized RMXP3 caliber. This watch offers the striking good looks of the RM 33 Extra Flat, with the added convenience of a date display. In typical Richard Mille fashion, the movement is something to behold.Most manufacturers produce primarily round watches, and shaped cases are the exception to the rule. Richard Mille takes the opposite approach, but then this brand is anything but traditional. From the launch of the brand¡¯s first watch, the RM 001, it has been known for bold, tonneau cases, with the more conservative round and rectangular cases providing styling counterpoints.?The Richard Mille RM 33 Extra Flat, from 2011, is a striking piece, but what to do if you prefer a date display? Now those who fancy the RM 33¡¯s looks can have their cake and eat it too. The new RM 33-01 adds a date, discretely tucked away at 7 o¡¯clock to preserve the balanced, symmetrical look.The round case may be traditional, but the RM

UTS Adventure Power Reserve Watch With Breguet-Like Inspiration
The watch above is the newer-ish UTS Adventure Power Reserve watch. UTS is a hardcore boutique tool watch maker in Germany, with a very dedicated production team and a small volume of watches made each year. It is rare that they release a totally new product, and for Basel World, that is just what they have done. The Adventure Power Reserve really don't look like anything else in their line up. In my opinion, is strongly similar to the below Breguet Moon Phase Power Reserve Ref. 7137BA/11/9V6. Minus the moon phase of course. Is that a striking dial similarity or what?Inside the Adventure Power Reserve is a manually wound Unitas caliber 6497-1 that has been modified with a power reserve indicator. It is a simple, but hardy movement. I would have liked to see a more complex movement for what this watch will inevitably cost. UTS has always been known for high quality cases, this being among them. It is a look that further appears nicer on your arm, than off your arm. The bolted case look

Old book new watch
I first posted on this fantastic forum in January. My wife had bought me a new sub date for Xmass but the "credit card" guarantee that came watch was for an other model. You guys were very helpfull pointing out that the AD had obviously made a mistake. To cut this short; The AD tried to get a replacement as the original could not be found. Rolex refused to issue one ( yes even to a very long standing AD) and I swapped my Z series for a M today. By the John H you were right about the RRR being discreet. Anyway thanks boys and girls for being a great crowd. Pic of the new watch and one of my old books below.

Panerai market
Is it worth purchasing one? Will it hold it's value? I understand the whole if you like it just get it.. but I like to buy on a policy of not losing money when I know I won't have it forever more than likely. Look forward to hearing your opinions.

One for each of us
The wife and I purchased these for each other close enough to Valentine¡¯s Day to be gifts for one another. Hers is the 31mm Lady Datejust in pink, Romans with the jubilee bracelet. She wanted something practical enough to wear everyday at work as a full time mom yet wouldn¡¯t attract too much attention. She adores her Lady DJ. Mine of course is the 114060 which I had not considered until trying it on. I am a larger individual and felt that 40mm might be too small as I have worn larger watches for years. I tried larger dive/Sub variants and personally felt they were either too thick or just a bit too much for my intended daily wear. My internet heart was set on the Exp2, however when I tried it on in black, for me it was underwhelming(perhaps the Polar would have made a different impression). In the end the 114060 presented the best on me and fit my lifestyle and needs. I especially love the unobstructed symmetry of the no date dial and am truly surprised at just how larg
