Stallone Brandishes PVD Panerai Luminor Marina Watch In New Rambo Movie
I am pretty happy that the new Rambo movie was as watch-centric as it was. Through the intensely blood-bathed action fest are numerous shots of watches on the characters' wrists. Sylvester Stallone's John Rambo adorns an interesting Panerai watch. It has been a Hollywood tradition for sometime that popular movie characters have a watch fitting their nature and status. We know of the James Bond Omegas and the Terminator has an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak specially made for Schwarzenegger that is worn proudly. Rambo prefers the popular and stylish vintage looks of Italian Panerai watches.It is a well known fact that "Sly" Stallone is a big Panerai fan. Rumored to own hundreds of the cult-loved watches, Panerai has even made custom models just for Stallone. One such model has Stallone's autograph engraved on the back and the moniker "SLYTECH" on the face. Watch companies are wonderful in that regard; if you have enough leverage and money, they will make any manner of custom model for you.

Patek Philippe Wants To Like You; Finds It So Difficult
A few days ago I wrote about a new watch coming out of the house of Patek Philippe. Namely, the reference 5960P at about $80,000. A beautiful watch, but why all the hubbub for a timepiece that costs so much? For that money anything should be possible right? Well some people find themselves waiting around for such watches to come out, for others, we observe such watches with mere interest or strong desire. Regardless, Patek Philippe is serious about its product in America, at least on paper they are. The true message to Americans will be to appeal to our sense of value, taste, and preferred methods of purchasing luxury goods.In a recent InSync Watch Magazine interview, Patek Philippe's ruling father and son team shed some light on the mentality at work behind one of the world's most exclusive watch manufactures. Philippe Stern and his son Thierry, take charge at the helm of what is a "family" run business. This is no joke as big makers like Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet are actual

Autodromo Prototipo Review
Autodromo is one of the brands that has really surprised us in the last couple of years. When we first saw their watches, we were thrilled by their unique designs, nothing being stock, and attention to detail. As the brand has matured, so have their designs and knowledge of watch making, which was very clear in their second offering, the limited edition Monoposto mechanical. One of our favorite pieces from last year, this utterly unique watch has character and finishing that far surpassed its sub-$1000 price point.Their newest line continues this trend of development with what will likely be their most popular watch to date, the Prototipo. Where the previous Autodromo watches were inspired by the history of Italian race cars, with elements translated into the watch components, the Prototipo is inspired by late 60's and 70's racing chronographs. These watches, namely those by Heuer, were inspired by the tracks and vehicles themselves, with lively designs that used color and form to recr

AP 15400 or IWC 7 day automatic?
Curious about the overall quality of both watches - reliability, value, comfort, ownership experience, horology quotient. Any thoughts on which is a better movement and more desirable watch? They are very different but at the same time, the movements appeal to me. Thoughts on which way to go on this one?

Omega PO Logo and Hands Material
Does anyone know if the applied logo, markers, and hands on the SS PO 8500 are steel or white gold? It's always been my understanding that they're steel, but I just read a review stating they're white gold. If anyone knows for sure I'd appreciate a post!!
