How To Make Your Own Watch
Have you ever wanted a unique watch? Or perhaps just a few small changes to one you have or are considering? Once you dive into the world of horology, sooner or later you'll start having strong opinions about what you like and dislike, and will probably start wondering what it'd take to make Your Perfect Wristwatch.If you're wealthy, it's quite simple. Simply call Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin or many others, and they'll be delighted to create a custom watch for you. For the rest of us, it's a bit harder, but perhaps this post will help you get started.Let's start with the companies that exist to solve this precise problem.Dwatch creates dive watches with a cushion-case design. As far as I know, they only have one case right now, but if you want a diver that's a good place to look.121 Time offers more choices, with quartz or mechanical movements. More cases, more looks, good reputation.Moving up the cost scale, Golay-Spierer makes custom watches and?the results are pretty impress

Been a tough week for me....
Well a tough two weeks really. Saw a beautiful 1966 Rolex GMT gilt on a local auction site last week at a great price. My partner also saw value in it, so we bought it together as an investment. I also managed to sell my PAM190 and managed to fund a new GMT BLNR which I paid for two days ago. While at the AD, I asked about a 5167. They had just gotten it in. So fondled it a bit and realised I needed it. I have heard about Pateks speaking to people and can swear I heard it talk. It had been haunting me for the last two days and after a bit of forwards and backwards on the price, emailed them this morning to consider it sold. I'll go pay for it tomorrow. I am going to have to sell my Exp II and my SubC to help fund it, but that's what we do for Pateks I have learnt. Didn't set out to do this at all. But there you go.

How soon after Basel do AD's start seeing new product?
Just wondering how soon after Basel AD's start seeing the new products. While I'm nowhere near VIP status, I'm very curious what the soonest a VIP can have a new SS model on their wrists. I'm also awaiting delivery of an SD43- should be here in the next couple weeks- and am wondering if it'd have the little crown between 'Swiss' and 'Made' in Swiss Made. I'm guessing it's unlikely it'd feature the crown as there's probably no way they'd receive something that soon after the show. What's the soonest you VIP's on here have gotten an in-demand SS sports watch?
