James Bond Weekend Coming September 10 and 11
The James Bond Enthusiast Weekend is part of the first-ever “Bond Watches, James Bond Watches” exhibition at the National Watch & Clock Museum in Columbia, PA. The display includes the widest selection of 007-related watches ever assembled. Highlighting the exhibit is the only known Rolex owned and worn by Bond creator Ian Fleming – believed to be his reference for the original, literary James Bond wristwatch. The weekend kicks off Friday night September 10 with a black tie-optional Bond-themed Casino Night that will include poker, blackjack, and slot machines. Saturday events include tours of the National Watch & Clock Museum's James Bond Watches exhibit, a Jeopardy-style game, a discussion of Ian Fleming's books, a James Bond drink seminar (shaken, not stirred), and a screening of For Your Eyes Only.Click here to see the complete schedule, and to select your ticket preference.

IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph ��Ocean Racer��
Boat races and watches �C a weird and yet?seemingly ever-green combination. A few years ago, IWC joined the craze and has?chosen to sponsor the Volvo Ocean Race, a remarkably challenging, round-the-world race that starts this October in Alicante, Spain, and terminates in Gothenburg, Sweden, in June 2015. With regards to?IWC's role more specifically, the brand is?the event's Official Timekeeper, partner of?the Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing team, and sponsor of the 24-hour speed record.And while that does seem like a total overkill for someone not that?into the world of competitive sailing, this web of collaborations?does result in a surprisingly?restrained, yet sporty-looking chronograph that arguably makes a lot more sense than the sponsorship-frenzy behind it.

Unexpectedly came across a 116500LN -- INCOMING
I recently purchased a beautiful 5513, but after giving it some time on the wrist, decided it wasn't for me. It's a great piece, but that connection just wasn't there.

He purchased it from an AD in March of 2017 and only wore it a handful of times, so it's in beautiful condition. I wasn't even looking to purchase one -- but we worked out a fair offer for both parties and I never looked back. I figured if it wsn't the right watch, I'd be able to flip it without much trouble.I can't honestly say this is the most beautiful watch I've ever worn. The proportions are absolutely perfect -- this one is a real stunner. I can't imagine ever parting with it.Enough rambling, onto the picture
