Porsche Design 1919 Datetimer Series 1 & 1919 Globetimer Series 1 Watches
Porsche Design is releasing their new 1919 collection, which will introduce the Porsche Design 1919 Datetimer Series 1 and the Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer Series 1 watches. The 1919 collection is Porsche Design's homage to the Bauhaus movement. For those not familiar, the Bauhaus movement placed great importance on the concepts of simplicity and functionality in design. Though it's a little early for the centenary celebration of the movement (that will be in 2019, if you couldn't guess by the name of the collection), Porsche Design has unveiled the two watches in this collection. What's interesting, though, is the fact that this is the kind statement that Porsche Design is choosing to make after their relationship with Eterna came to an end about a year and a half ago. Since then, they released the Timepiece No. 1, the name of which made clear that Porsche Design was?ushering in a new beginning for the brand. Now, they're not going in-house (in fact, they're using two different Sell

Do You Have Info about the Chopard Quartz Mille Miglia?
I am interested in obtaining more information about the Chopard Quartz Mille Miglia Ref. 16/1240. Please help if you can. The watch is labelled a Professional Chronograph and is capable of timing multiple time trials in hours, minutes, seconds, hundredths of seconds and storing the information for later recall. The watch is from 1996. What is the meaning of the reference number? The watch is made in a limited quantity, so is this particular timepiece number 16 or 1240 and limited to a production of how many watches? I could not find much information on the web. Does anyone know of a link that can provide additional information? Thanks!

Your thoughts on Poljot chronographs?
I just picked up one with the 3133 movement on the 'bay for under $150. I know the movement is based on the Valjoux, but outside of that I don't know much else. Anyone else here have experience with them either good or bad? My Vostok watches are really well made and a super value. I am hoping this will be the same. I get it next week and I'll post pics as soon as I do.

Planning ahead for another watch
Decided last month to start putting away $500 a month for another watch in December 2010, which seems to be a big watch month for me lately.Wife bought me one this year and said no more for a year...so I told her why I was transferring money each month and she said NO WAY ...man I can't catch a break!I guess I'll figure it out when that time rolls around.Of course it'll be difficult not to get something in between, but I might loose my job this year or next so then it wouldn't matter since the job I have lined up to replace it with would pay me about 20K less a year ...so if that happens I'll need the scoots .Anyhow I'm really liking the Breilting BUT, I'm trying to swear off chronos, (might even get rid of the two I have) and the SO Heritage is what really grabs my attention now.Other than that I'm not sure since I'd like to only spend half of what I put away...let me rephrase that...I'm ONLY going to spend half of what I put away. I thought again about the Speedy, but I wasn't reall
