My Argument For Rolex Watches Article On AskMen.com
I was asked to write an article making an "argument for Rolex watches." This was to be in response to an article which was an "argument against Rolex watches." Now, understand I didn't know what the argument against Rolex watches was going to be, so I simply needed to make a broad and effective argument in favor of the world's most ubiquitous luxury watch. For what ever you can say against Rolex, a ridiculous amount of owners and fans can't be that wrong. I wouldn't go so far as to say Rolex could be the only watch brand you need to look at, but they do have a lot of merit.Like I said, my argument was constructed for all types of people to understand. If you read the comments after the articles, some people got irked that my articles didn't delve deep into some of the more technical or historical aspects of the argument. I appreciate their sentiments, but they need to realize that the article was intended to appeal to people who didn't know or care about what was inside of a watch move

Introducing the Breitling Transocean Chronograph 1915, A Mono-Pusher Column Wheel Chrono With New In-House Caliber
While we're die-hard vintage Breitling fans, we can recognize good development when we see it. A couple of months ago we reported on the Breitling Transocean Chronograph. That model hankered for its roots and introduced a vintage theme and a simpler two-register layout. The new Transocean Chronograph?1915 takes that development?a step further by introducing a new dial design, new case and, most importantly, a new manufacture caliber.?The Transocean 1915 starts with a 43 mm by?14.6 mm case in polished stainless steel. Instead of applied indexes like its predecessor, the Transocean 1915 has printed Arabic numerals. Two registers, arabic numerals and a push piece at 2 o'clock-many?HODINKEE readers should be thinking "montbrillant" (hence 1915, before Breitling introduced the second pusher in the '30s). 2 OF 3 Naturally, we could do without the date, but the narrow window doesn't seem to distract from the dial as much as date windows can. Moreover, maybe you're a pilot or som

AP ROO Rubber Clad Strap help!
Hi everyone, new to the forum here, but I think its the best place to ask. I have a AP ROO Black Rubber Clad. The deployment buckle that came with the rubber strap is extremely uncomfortable, and rests on the SIDE of my skinny wrist. After wearing for a short while, there is a painful mark on my wrist. I changed to a Survivor rubber strap, but the smallest hole is still too big for me. What options will you suggest? I would prefer to keep the rubber look to match the rubber look on the rubber clad, but I'm open to exploring new options so that my AP doesn't look like it's gng to fall off my wrist. Of course, comfort too. Thank you so much!

How do they do it?
I know that many Breitlings are thick. However, there are quite a few, that have a really slim profile. And I like it. It allows for a larger watch to look and wear quite small, but with great visibility and wrist presence. But curious how they do it. The watch I am wearing today has a GMT, Date and 300M water rating. Everything other brand, from what I can tell, says the thickness of the case is due to the thickness of the movement and the requirements based on depth rating. For example the Submariner is slightly thicker than the 116710 GMT because of the water rating. Curious if anyone has any knowledge on this. Thanks,

Interesting article
I came across an interesting article on ablogtowatch. We are always talking about how soft the market is for most Pateks since there is too much supply. Most of the article is what we already know but nonetheless, interesting. What are your thoughts? .ablogtowatch/study-co...ess-inventory/
