Patek Philippe Calatrava 2599 Mens Stainless Steel Bezel Quartz Watch

HAUTLENCE Playground Labyrinth
Introducing the Hautlence Playground Labyrinth“Same player shoot again”! In a world where everything is super-technological and ultra-connected with garish appliances and piercing sounds that verge on noise abuse, Hautlence has crossed the line with "an entirely essential yet fundamentally useless object": Playground Labyrinth.As a watch, Playground Labyrinth has a large rectangular titanium case that's classic Hautlence fuelled by a mechanical movement with wrist straps but¡­it doesn't tell the time! Instead of the regular hour and minute hands gliding over the dial there's a beautiful maze in rose or white gold. The network of straight paths bordered by satin-finish walls with polished edges and a platinum ball is a chance to get away from the everyday chaos and return to your childhood for a bit of me-time.The calibre in the 37×43.5x13mm case has a mechanical lift to put the ball back into play once it's out of the labyrinth.Price: 12,000 CHFBy Sharmila Bertinhautlen

Watch catalogues
Local shops over here tend not to have catalogues, not sure why but they just don't. I had seen them on sale on the bay and couldn't figure out why, so I sent a little email off to Swatch Group customer care. I figured they may send out one or maybe just ignore me, but only a couple of days later the doorbell rang and the wife answered and the postie was rather flustered and looking not too impressed at the weight of the envelope he had addressed to me. All credit to the Swatch group they only went and sent out a chunk of their latest catalogues, Omega x 3, Longines,Rado,Certina,Tissot. Not a big thing but I figure they deserve a little mention for their prompt customer care.

confusion between IWC perpetual calender chronograph, ebel BRT 1911 and longiness
i am about to buy a watch n had few points to discuss. As far as i know IWC perpetual calender chronograph and Ebel BRT 1911 are more or less the same. Also longiness if not certainly it matches with the 2 on first appearances. So wanted to know technically is there much of a difference between these watches. i mean IWC are certainly the most expensive ones. So is it worth spending so much. Plz advice.

Please advise on Coke GMT Master ii cyclops magnification.
Hello all, this is my first post here. I¡¯ve just bought this used GMT Master II from a reputable jewellers, with 2 year guarantee. The watch dates from 1991 but is in excellent condition and has been serviced. However, the date magnification under the cyclops seems almost non existant. I¡¯ve looked at 100¡¯s of pics online but haven¡¯t seen anything as weak as this? I can return the watch but would love advise from you knowledable people. Did I buy a lemon, or am I being too picky?
