Introducing: The Moritz Grossman Atum Pure Steel (Live Pics, Pricing Info)
Stainless steel. You could not summarize Baselworld 2016 any more succinctly. And there's no mystery why it's being so commonly used this year. High-end watchmakers are lowering price points in order to encourage watch enthusiasts to continue spending despite decelerating economies in their most important markets.But taking an existing model and encasing it in stainless steel won't do. The transition to more affordable metals requires sensible changes to some of the less obvious features of a watch, a rule that Moritz Grossmann followed brilliantly this week with the introduction of the Atum Pure Steel. 1 OF 4 A gorgeous dress watch with an hours, minutes, and small seconds display, the Atum was previously offered only in precious metals, in rose gold for $36,100 and in white gold for $37,600. It's now available for the third of the price, at $11,500. Now, that's the kind of jump that makes you wonder how much of the good stuff has been chucked out of the original model?

Morley cosmetically refreshed
Recently found a much better dial and a new crystal for this Morley I've had since 2005. Now, a trip to the watch doctor and it'll be on my wrist for the first time. BeforeAfter

Help with 1st PO purchase please!!!!
I currently own a IWC Portuguese Auto 5001-07 with the white dial and blue numbers and I am looking to buy more of a sport watch to add to my collection. I was debating between a Panerai and a Omega PO. I really like the look of the older style PO-2500 movement where the dial matches the bezel. I know the new style is ceramic and their in-house movement is excellent but I don't know if I love the matte finish on the bezel and it does not match the dial. I know that might seem crazy and maybe it will grow on me. So with that being said, i really like the idea of the titanium le however I am wondering if anyone knows if they will be coming out with a black version titanium next yr. I like the blue but I don't think I love it. Lastly, I am trying to decide between the 42 or 45mm and any advice would be much appreciated. I have over 7 1/2 inch wrists if that matters. I apologize for the long post but thanks in advance for any help on which model you would buy. I am also looking to rot

Found this on the net. Yes it is rather old from from 2013. A sometimes hilarious take on Patek's: You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.the-toast.net/2013/12/09/you-...ything-really/Hopefully someone get a chuckle or two.
