Lang & Heyne Caliber I Movement Done From Extinct Mammoth Ivory
I am glad to know that no living animal species was harmed in the creation of this watch. Dresden, Germany based high-end brand Lang & Heyne will produce a limited edition set of 25 Caliber I movements for its watches with bridges made from the tusks of extinct wooly mammoths. You don't see mammoth ivory used a lot. It is rare and hard to get being available only from well-preserved mammoths. All the ivory here for example was sourced from a find in Siberia, where the permafrost can preserve entire mammoth bodies in relatively good condition. Lang & Heyne acquired some ivory through a German dealer and investigated its properties in watch making.I firmly believe that using modern elephant ivory for anything these days is pure evil. Poaching in places such as Africa is a sin against nature, and should be prevented at all costs. The destruction of animal species on this planet for short-term profit should be much more a matter of international concern. If you see anything that is

Datejust2 116300 on strap???
Hi everyone, looking at getting a white dial sports daily wear. I have explorer 2 black dial already or else I'd get the polar. I'm looking at datejust41, does anyone use it as a daily wear on a strap or is that just in bad taste?I've looked online and seems to be hardly any pictures of datejust41 on anything but a bracelet, there's a few on nice alligator straps and it looks amazing but obviously that's for dress..Any input or suggestions would be awesome!Thanks

Datejust 41 TT or GMT 2 TT for next watch
I am torn between the new two tone Datejust 41 (yellow gold steel, champagne face, fluted bezel, jubilee) and the new GMT 2 ceramic yellow gold steel two tone. On workdays, I usually wear a quartz Tag Heuer Formula 1 with black face on steel bracelet as my beater, and I already have a non-ceramic date steel Sub. I am concerned the GMT 2 may be too repetitive in appearance to my Tag and my Sub. On the flip side, I worry the Datejust would be too flashy for casual wear.Any advice? The new Rolex would be worn mainly on weekends for nice events, meetings and dinners, etc, ranging from country club casual (polo shirt, chinos, no jeans) to suit and tie. I’m in my late 40’s.Thanks in advance for your input!
