Great Smartwatches From Movies & Television Chronicled In Samsung Galaxy Gear Video
In promotion of the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, Samsung has produced a pretty cool video that chronicles some of the major smartwatches seen in television and movie history. What is so cool about the video is that they have actual props (or really cool graphics thereof) of the pieces they mention. The list of course ends with the Samsung Galaxy Gear, which is touted as the accumulation of decades of unfulfilled demand.The real story of course is that the Galaxy Gear (I) is the first of many. Samsung has already shared that the Gear is the first of many smartwatches that it will continue to develop and release in the near future. The Galaxy Gear was met with mixed reviews. While I think some of the criticism is sound, it is still a pretty good device given where we are currently at. The major issue of course is how few phones (just the Galaxy Note III phone I believe) with which the Galaxy Gear is compatible.Unfortunately the Galaxy Gear doesn't do all the things that many of the famed Holl

Breaking News: Phillips To Hold Stainless Steel Chronographs Only Sale This Coming May (Early Look)
Nobody knows how to put on a more interesting watch auction than Aurel Bacs & Co. at Phillips – this much we know. But, after last May's very successful, if perhaps a little staid, thematic Day-Date sale, I think we were all hoping Phillips would come, guns blazing, back into its next thematic sale – and they did, and then some! This May, Phillips will host an evening sale of just chronographs. Stainless-steel chronographs. There isn't a hotter category in the world, and we have a look at some of the early lots – and boy, is this one going to be a killer.The first watch you'll notice at top is one you may know – it's the Rolex reference 4113 – otherwise known as the mack-daddy of the Rolex world. Why? Because it's a freaking 44 mm split-seconds chronograph from Rolex made in only 12 examples! The 4113 is the holy grail reference in the world of Rolex, and Phillips has one. Estimate is 800 to 1.4 million CHF. 1 OF 6 Tropi

Buying Omega PO
Hey All,I've been popping into an AD for the last six months or so and eyeing up the Omega PO. I'm really close to pulling the trigger here as a combined christmas/birthday/new job present to myself. I just have a few questions for the more experienced:1) Is now a good time to buy? Is there any reason to wait until 2011 that I should know about, or a reason not to wait?2) Pricing? I've managed to get the price down to just below $3400 w/ a sticker price of $3950. Is that considered to be a fair value, or am I overpaying?Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas everyone!

How about an Aquanaut?
How about an Aquanaut 5167 A or a 5164 A for a OWG? How practical is this watch compared to a steel Rolex? Lifestyle consists of Office work/ construction sites, beach/pool, traveling, gym and other semi active activities. I don't think I beat my watches to the point of only a gshock could handle me but I don't baby them either. I just want a watch that has a low profile, rugged, efficient that I could use it all the time, no limitations. Note: I considered the 5711 but I've come to realize I prefer rubber. Thanks!

Wish for Nautilus
I know Patek isn't in new materials and all that, but I would love if one day they made a full ceramic Nautilus, or full cermet, or with cermet bezel, AP has been doing it and results are great, to the point that I might take the plunge on their new ceramic PC one day, the only thing stopping me is the 85k needed to get it, if it would be at 60k I would have my name on the waiting list, also hoping that they make a ceramic Jumbo as I don't really care for the complication. So since they are very similar watches, I think what looks spectacular on one would look as spectacular on the other, if anybody has direct access to Thierry...Here are pics, if anybody here is any good with photoshop I would love to see a ceramic Nautilus, if not you can like me imagine, unfortunately as much as AP doing it doesn't surprise me, PP doing it would surprise me, but I guess so was PP doing a watch in SS in the 70's, so anything is possible, for me the AP ce PC is clearly Haute Horlogerie and apart a few
