Oris RAID Chronograph Limited Edition Watch
Have it known that the US side of Oris's operation is comprised of some very lovely, helpful people. While I didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked with them at Baselworld 2010, I will be spending more time with their watch collection in June. I was able to get shots of a very cool limited edition piece - the Oris RAID Chronograph. RAID is a rally race of vintage cars. It now takes place in Switzerland and France, and only includes automobiles made before 1975. If you want to learn more about it, just Google it.This should explain the styling of the RAID Chronograph watch. It looks quire retro and reminds us of when cars had really swoopy roofs. Specifically, the dial is influenced by the tachometer of a 1952 Jaguar XK 120 - that has the redline area reversed. Use of this concept adds that always welcome splash of red to the dial. Seeing the font of the Arabic numerals on the dial, and you can bring yourself back to the era of 1950's British roadsters. It is done quite

Hands-On: The Ralph Lauren 867 Square Model In White Gold
Ralph Lauren is a person of many paradoxes – a man whose career has spanned many decades; a man who almost single-handedly created a uniquely American, but also very cosmopolitan, design language rooted in an aspirational vision of European luxury and history; a man who has managed to absorb with equal enthusiasm influences as disparate as the design language and passion for richness of materials of the Art Deco era, the world of equestrian sports, the automotive world, and that of Western work apparel – and that’s far from a comprehensive list. He’s one of the most publicly recognized names in fashion, style and design and yet, at the same time, he’s very protective of his own privacy and that of his family, seldom granting interviews. A few years ago, a friend of his who is also notoriously publicity averse, and who shares Mr. Lauren’s general dislike of being personally covered in the press, got together with him to make a lifelong dream of

my first omega SMP chrono
It's a very great looking watch with an affordable price,I just simply love it

Thoughts on this Omega please
Hi,I am looking at a new Omega SMP 300M Chronometer with black ceramic bezel. Beautiful watch and the price seems right new at around $3,200.00.Here is my question. The older Omega Seamaster Professional's seem to sell for closer to $1,500 - $2,000. Can I expect to lose $1K in depreciation in 1-3 years on an Omega? I guess that seems a high depreciation rate, is that why I should consider a Rolex Sub or Explorer?Appreciate your thoughts on this.

Advice for young Patek enthusiasts
Hi everyone, I do not post a lot on here, but spend a lot of time lurking and am just amazed at the individual pieces and whole collections that you all have on here (you know who you are ). I really love fine watch making and aspire to own a Patek one day, let alone multiple. However, I am young and paying off school loans in the six figures and it seems like such an unreal goal. My watches have all been gifts to me by generous and loving people in my life, so I'd really like to eventually buy the Patek for myself. I was wondering if any of you had any advice or guiding principles that helped you accomplish your goals or acquire your collection? To see these pieces on your wrists, I know you're doing something right! Best
