Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow "Olympics" 03/2011

Paid much more attention to the sailing yacht from Panerai
CEO Panerai and avid yachtsman Angelo Bonati just spent the past two-and-a-half years overseeing a restore full of the Eilean (see above), a beautiful two masts 72-ft Bermuda ketch originally designed and built in 1936 by the legendary site of Fife in Scotland. When Bonati has acquired the elegant yacht, whose design was inspired by the class America's Cup racers j of the 1930s, in 2006, it was a mastless wreck, rust. He hired specialist naval restoration Italian Enrico Zacagni to undertake the task extremely expensive and careful of 40,000 hours.

The Piaget Altiplano 900P, The World¡¯s Thinnest Watch, For Only Watch 2015
Participating in Only Watch for the sixth year in a row, Piaget releases the Altiplano 900P – for the first time with red hands. Piaget bills the Altiplano 900P as “neither entirely a movement nor exactly a case – or rather, both at once.” The Altiplano 900P merges both case elements and the movement, achieving a record-breaking slenderness at 3.65 mm, making it the thinnest watch in the world. 1 OF 3 Piaget takes its skills in ultra-thin watchmaking to the extreme with this timepiece. Each of the 145 parts is trimmed to a hair’s breadth, including some wheels that measure a mere 0.12 mm. What results is a one-of-a-kind timepiece that is sure to turn heads at this year's auction. 2 OF 3 The Piaget Altiplano 900P will be auctioned off on November 7th to raise funds for research into more effective treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.For more on Piaget, click here. 3 OF 3

Speedmaster Versions
Currently, my #1 watch that I would like to try to obtain in the next few years is the classic black Speedmaster. I think it's the perfect blend of style, without screaming that I have a couple grand strapped to my wrist. It's iconic, but not as obvious as a Tag Monaco for example.Looking at the Omega site, there are many versions of this watch using different movements (with and without date, co axial, etc).Of the new ones, which version is most desirable for a man on a "modest" budget? I like the Automatic version with date, but I'm not sure if one version vs. another has a nicer movement, or will be more collectible. For example a local dealers showed me the moon version which was manual wind, and did not have a sapphire crystal.I'm afraid to buy a used or vintage one, since I'm not savvy enough to spot a fake. Omega gurus, let me know what you think.

Breitling Emergency Model 2
This was brought up in a previous thread but I was wondering if anyone has this model? Or experience with it? I saw it in the AD the other day and was impressed, not by the size (which IS impressive) but the capability. Since it is now dual frequency, 406 and 121, basically anywhere in the world you activate the feature it will be picked up by satellites and quite possibly save your life. I do a lot of hiking deep in the mountains and always carry a satelite PLB with me for a life-threatening emergency, but there is nothing as convenient or as ready as having one on your wrist. I don't own a Breitling, and it is big and expensive, but if I were an Alaskan bush pilot, or forrest ranger, or anyone that spent a great deal of time in the wilderness far from help I would definitely get one of these. IMHO, Way to go Breitling!
