Ticking the Blues: 2 New Girard-Perregaux Watches With Blue Dials
In case you haven’t noticed, blue is the hot color in the watch world, recently appearing all across the horological spectrum on dials, bezels, straps, et cetera. Recently, Girard-Perregaux reminded us that its founder, Jean-Francois Bautte, was one of the first watchmakers to incorporate the color into his timepieces. Fittingly, the brand has honored Bautte’s contributions to today’s watch-design trend by adding two new watches with blue dials and straps to its two vintage-inspired flagship collections, the 1966 and 1945 XXL.The new Girard-Perregaux 1966 watch features a slightly dome-shaped dial in a deep blue hue and enhanced by a subtle sunburst pattern. Echoing the style of the year for which the watch is named, its dial has gilted, baton-shaped hour markers at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, a double marker at 12 o’clock, and a small date window at 3 o’clock.

What Are Rolex Oyster Professional Watches? A History
Rolex Oyster Perpetual from 1953What exactly is a "Rolex Oyster Professional" watch? Most Rolex watches produced today use the brand's Oyster case which embodies years of development that started with the original Rolex Oyster watch from 1926. At the time Rolex pioneered the first ever watch case with screw down crown, bezel, and caseback that offered water resistance and dust protection, though it was not until 1953 that the Professional Collection was born.The idea of the Rolex Oyster Professional today is the perpetuation of timepiece models that were originally intended for professional use.

You want a SECOND watch?!?!
2018 is lining up to be pretty exciting for me. I won't go into big detail other than I have been waiting for this since last Krismas. To celebrate I want to get myself a new watch. I currently own a white 116520 Daytona that I absolutely adore. I've worn it every day for the last three years and I almost hate to consider a second watch; but this will be a life altering occasion and I want to celebrate myself juust a little.I am going to set a price range of about $10-25K. This simply means I don't need to max out my budget to enjoy myself. Since the last giveaway I've been looking at the 116610LV(hulk), I am also really interested in trying on the new SS SkyDwellers(white/black/blue all great) and the SD43. A personal goal watch of mine would actually include the YG Daytona with green face a la Connor McGregor(116508); but I wouldn't ditch mine, nor own two Daytonas from the get go. I would love to hear about some other references you guys own and enjoy, Rolex or not. I am also okay w
