I didnt read about forbidding photography. Just for first day r otwo, or entire SIHH? They press material isnt that good, and I always enjoy live and wrist shots of RM models, but as I saw by now they didnt bring anything I love this year...

Not aware of the details other than what is posted on the Purists thread. It seems he is furious about the fakes that are turning up for service; this is I suspect why they are creating an "approved used" programme which I completely applaud. I understand also they have slashed dealer margins to mitigate aggressive grey market discounting.

I saw yesterday about Paris fake RM52... just can't belive someone sell a fake to AD...

And Lotus model looks great.

JLC always on the cutting edge and one of most creative watch houses IMHO.

I like the IWC Aquatimer Auto in 42mm. Also like the Minerva powered Montblanc monopusher. However, the price on the Montblanc is insane.

Also like the new Panerai chonographs, but again, way pricey for what it is.

I think JLC is on a roll. Some really elegant watches

I also like the new aquitimer. Though some are a bit big for my taste.

I haven't seen much from VC. I was expecting more from them.

I really like the look of the new Aquatimer too. That ratcheting bezel really scares me though. It looks like a problem waiting to happen.
