It is a definite indication that you readers are serious watch lovers when you are willing to kindly provide a photo update after winning a nice watch.

Pershing, Foch and Kitchener Post WWI Trench Watch Watch Ad ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I just had to share this with you guys ! ! !I received an e-mail yesterday from a gentleman debating what I was calling an Elgin "Blackjack" Pershing Trench Watch due to the case the movement was housed within. The debate was that I have a Pershing housed in a 14k yellow gold filled trench watch case and that I called it a "Blackjack" Pershing. We sent a couple e-mails back and forth about the issue. To the best of my knowledge the black Elgin "Star Dial" trench watches started out as a "jobber" watch and were not fully assembled by Elgin during WWI. These were first available in 1917 when the United States entered WWI with General Pershing leading our Doughboys. I am basing this information on the earliest date stamp that I have ever seen on the back of a Pershing dial which was 11-17 for November of 1917.

Introduction... and first AP.
Figured I'd officially introduce myself and say Hi to the fellow AP owners. I recently purchased my first AP (a silver dial 15400 from Brian G aka boxerbrian) and absolutely love it. I have owned several Rolexes, probably a dozen Panerais, Omegas, Breitlings, Tudors, UNs, IWCs, GOs, etc etc - mainly hang out on the Dive Watch Connection and buy/sell/trade on there, TZ and Paneristi. I've wanted a Diver ever since they were first introduced but because I love my DSSD on Rubber B so much I decided to fill a gap in my collection and do the 15400 with my first AP. The watch has more finishing details than any other piece I've ever owned with probably a GO Sport Evo Panorama date being second. Everything about the watch screams quality and it's versatile enough for me that I can wear it in my business casual work environment or with jeans. After only a few days of ownership I'm already thinking about my next one if that tells you anything!So, on to the pics! Also, a few after of the rest of

5712R vs 5980AR
i am wondering whether it is a good decision to let the 5712R go for the 5980AR...there would be some cash involved on my side but the deal seems reasonable. i know, TT and all that....but the dial of the 5980AR is so amazing.....on the other hand i am wondering whether both watches do not overlap with my 5711R too much.....the other pieces in my collection are: rolex batman, 5227R, 5119J (i share both calatravas with my wife), rolex daydate YG incoming.....
