Montblanc TimeWriter 1 Metamorphosis Watch Transforms
There was a lot of excitement at Montblanc in Geneva for this watch. They only had one of them?at SIHH and it was in a case. Still a prototype but I got to check it out a bit. In a nutshell, you press down on a lever on the left side of the case and the watch dial magically transforms into something else. Not only does the look change, but more importantly the functions do as well. One face shows the time (regulator style with?retrograde minutes) and the date, while the second style is a chronograph.In the included video you can wait through most of it or skip ahead near the end when they discuss and show some rather funtastic special effects of the TimeWriter 1 Metamorphosis watch. You not only get a good idea of how it works, but of how complex it is. They put all this effort into the video and it isn't even in English - the bastards. The TimeWriter watches will be a growing collection from Montblanc magical workshop in Villeret. The plan is to give the young and eager watch makers t

Is this normal for a new Royal Oak?
I just purchased this new Royal Oak Dual Time, I am absolutely in love with the watch. And I hope that this will be the first of many AP purchases.One thing that is bugging me about the watch, is the the AP Logo on the clasp sticks out while it's on my wrist, doesn't matter what position my hand is in, it extends out, I want to know if this is normal, or is this a defect?It is still under warranty, so I don't think that will be an issue, but if it's part of the design, I can get used to it, any help would be appreciated.

What is it model? Is it fake?
Dear all,Can you please help to advise the model of this watch and whther it is authentic watch?

Anyone know a good restorer (Omega vintage)?
Troops: A friend of mine got burned by a crappy restorer of his 25 year old Sea Master. The restorer was supposed to replace the crystal (only polished it, and not very well.....), was supposed to polish the case (scrathes and nicks everywhere) and to replace the band with a new Omega strap (replaced with a leather strap that has no Omega symbol, and is stamped Made in China. Does anyone have the name of a solid restorer? We're in Eastern Ontario, Canada, but would consider anywhere worldwide if the recommendation is solid. Many thanks all, Chris

Dangerous9 Incomings
Before I start, be warned that this post might be very unhealthy for your bank accounts!Following the acquisition of my 737 in August this year, I started jonesing for another strap. The brown Teju lizard that John Glance at Dangerous9 crafted for me is a work of art so the logical thing to do was get in touch and see what else he could do. From the great feedback I had from you guys on the colour combinations of my Panerai OEM straps, particularly on my 689 and 737, I decided to go for another Teju lizard but this time in racing tan. Whist we have to be careful considering colours seen on a computer monitor (they can vary significantly between brands), I thought that the racing tan was the colour to go for; some of you said that the Panerai OEM JV gold took the eye away from the dials of the 689 and 737 and I could see where you were coming from. The racing tan therefore seemed perfect in that it was a similar shade to the JV but nowhere near as shouty.Back in late August and earl
