Patek Philippe 5159G Perpetual Calendar, White Gold

BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends February 14, 2014
Happy Valentine¡¯s Day dear readers! We begin February by taking a look at Breva¡¯s new Genie 02 Altimeter watch and one of the earliest Rolex Submariners, the iconic Reference 6200 ¡°Big Crown¡±. Speaking of divers, we are also are taking a closer look at Audemars Piguet¡¯s new striking all-white ceramic Offshore Diver. Finally, we learn more about the history of Patek Philippe¡¯s perpetual calendar chronograph watches and what makes them so special, and see what are the most noteworthy ladies watches from this year¡¯s SIHH.1. Important Early Cartier Men¡¯s WatchesMany of you might regard Cartier as a jewelry brand, but did you that they were in fact one of the pioneers of wrist watches? Today the brand makes some very high-end and exciting pieces, such as Rotonde de Cartier Astrocalendaire Watch, but their roots were simpler, though no less important. Here is a look at some very early Cartier watches.Source:?watches-dealer2. Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Automatique 5015 Watch ReviewBlancpain¡¯s Fi

Three Planet Speedmaster Moon Watch
I was at my AD today giving him some cash for a layaway (Speedmaster GMT broad arrow) when I noticed a three planet Speedmaster. I was in a rush so I just glanced at it and it's been bugging me all day. I looked on the Omega site and took a look but no info on the edition size.Does anyone have any info on this watch as well as some wrist pics? I think it was released some time ago and it can't be that popular if they are still around??Thanks!

Two New Improved Monsters!
These new Monsters are carrying the Seiko 5 Sports lable.It has the same smooth as silk bezel as the old models, but a slightly more handsome face, the 7S36 replaces the 7S26 movement with two extra jewels (which doesn't mean much anyway), and a new bracelet.Now why couldn't they have used the new 6R15?

Location, Location, Location...
I understand that one of the neat things about participating on forums on-line is that you don't have to divulge your identity. What I don't quite understand is why some/most people elect NOT to identify where are they from.We come from all corners of the world and have vastly different points of view on things. Some things are done quite different from one hemisphere of the earth versus another. We communicate via written words (and pictures) through this great forum, but I think we can actually understand each other much, much better if we know where each of us come from (or at least give us a hint).OK, off the soap box, just venting on a little pet peeve of mine that has been building up for a while. Moderators, I know this is not a watch topic, please delete or relocate as you please.

Need help identifying strap and cam buckle
My wife gave me this strap 3 years ago per my request and I can't figure out where it came from now. Want to purchase another cam - clasp like this. Suggestions? Thanks! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
