Re: New C60 Tridents launched and now on Websites

That blue dial with blue ceramic bezel looks terrific. Does anyone know if there will be a GMT version of this? I too would love the blue ceramic on the GMT, but with the black dial.

Re: Watch of the Year 2014 - C9 5 Day Automatic

One of the only watches over 40mm that I would consider at the moment. That's saying something.

Re: Thoughts for first automatic chronograph

Late to the party here, but from your description it sounds like a Junghans Meister Chronoscope could be right up your street... 7750, 40.7mm, acrylic crystal and ooodles of style... http://www.junghans.de/en/junghans-collection/watches/junghansmeister/junghansmeister-meisterchronoscope/027-4324-44...
