The Tourbillon is very nice indeed. It's branded under Basilika though (part of Alexander Sharakoff umbrella).

Nice classy Kermit!

Cheers

Thanks Tyler. Yup, I am looking to add a white/cream/enamel/silver dial to my collection. Found a few that interest me. Have you heard of Archimede Deck Watch: http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2010/10/3/the-archimede-deck-watch-review-an-introductory-mechanical-w.html

Any good?

Buttock itchy so I ordered a Stowa Marine Original 2 days ago. Website indicates that it will take at least 3 months before the watch will be ready for delivery.

Waiting patiently for this now. Earliest it can reach my doorsteps is mid-July.

Brand: Hublot Classic Automatic
Case: Red Gold
Case Diameter: 41 mm

Just traded my PAM111 with this beauty. The thing is, it's still in its plastic wrapper and I'm undecided whether to put it on or sell/trade it with a grail I've been looking for a while - RO 15300. Make no mistake, it looks absolutely stunning - having some resemblance to PP Nautilus and AP RO - and the case size fits most Asian wrists, including mine. I'm just worried that I will not have funds when a RO 15300 comes along. Dilemma dilemma

Pics below are taken from the net as the watch is still in its wrapper:
