F.P. Journe Vagabondage II Watch
Fantastic new watch from F.P. Journe, I am enthralled. I was not so involve with the first Vagabondage watch, but this Vagabondage II timepiece is a damn good little number. Careful before judging it. You really need to understand where this watch is coming form. Check out all the little details in the design, understand the concept behind the digital display for the hours and minutes, appreciate the "open" nature of the dial, and I think you'll agree that it is a winner. I am not a fan of every timepiece from the brand, but again, this one really does it for me.Two versions of the watch will be released soon in November. 69 pieces in platinum and 68 is 18k rose gold. Yes, the watch is very similar in theme to the also recently released A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk watch, but that is ok. I feel that the market is big enough for a few versions of this "digital mechanical" theme. While the Zeitwek is more a tuxedo friendly watch, thhe Vagabondage II is a true wrist borne machine in all

Sidney Watches
I recently bought a Sidney (not Hamilton Sidney....just Sidney on the face) watch off of eBay. It's a 17j model and runs great but I'm having a hard time locating any info on Sidney watches. Can someone tell me something about the history of Sidney watches or point me to some links that will provide info? Thanks.....mdudleyh.

Hollywood horology
We all know watch companies spend major money on movie/TV product placement and celebrity endorsements.But what does that really mean to you?For me, it frequently drives me away from a product. I bought my Bond Omega Seamaster in spite of the 007 connection. Truth is the movie thing nearly killed my purchase.

DWatch

Looking for first Panerai
Longtime Panerai admirer here. Have a handful of Rolex that I wear in rotation, but have been wanting to add a Panerai into the mix. Have some newbie questions:Is there a quintessential PAM that one should consider? In Rolex speak AKA Submariner, if you catch my drift.In my limited exposure to the models, I do seem to like the PAM 104. It has the date and seconds function which I find useful. Retail is $7k, I see pre-owned go for the $4k range. How much should one expect to get one from an AD for? Is there a standard discount people are receiving on a new one?Anything to consider on new vs. pre-owned models (updated movements/features/etc.)?Thanks guys!
