Conversation With Jerome Lambert, New CEO Of Montblanc
Jerome Lambert is now the CEO of Montblanc. Do you recognize the name? If not you should. He was the former CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre. In his ten year run as CEO, he took the wonderful brand (that I am a customer of) from a brand that was only "known by those who know," to a front and center superstar. He took the best of the company (the incredible craftsmanship and technical acumen) and applied an aggressively youthful image, while introducing daring designs and even a partnership with Aston Martin. In a nutshell, Lambert helped Jaeger-LeCoultre realize its full potential - the products merely reflected that. In 2012 Ariel did an interesting?video interview with Mr. Lambert during his time at Jaeger-LeCoultre.The AMVOX DBS Transponder could actually open the door of your Aston Martin by pressing on the crystal. He pioneered connectivity between cars and "smart watches" long before anyone else did. It was truly visionary, and as an inventor holding wireless technology patents, I am very

New AP owner. Joined the Club :)
Been a long time owner of Rolex watches and just finally took the plunge and purchased my first AP. I went with the Royal Oak Offshore Diver. I'm very happy with it so far! It's comfortable and looks amazing on my wrist. Just a quick thank you to this forum which has provided tons of information and advice. I'm looking forward to contributing on my experience.

Speedmaster ID
Hi guys,After showing a family friend my recently purchased a Speedmaster Pro 3570, he mentioned that he also had an Omega Speedmaster that he had purchased new (here in New Zealand) many years ago.Pictures of the watch are below, i'm trying to find out some more info on it and it's possible value.I've searched the internet and came to the conclusion that it looks exactly like a Speedmaster MarkII. The only difference is that this model has an applied Omega logo and DOESN'T have MARKII printed on the dial under Professional, like all the others i've seen.Is it possible that this is a very early version before they started printing MARK II on the dial?Any info would be great thanks...CheersJeremy

Real mad at Rolex and ADs!!!!!!
If you think of it, a lot of us here consider it a privilege to get the mighty call to go spend $12k+ for a daytona or to be honored to make it to the blessed waiting list for a $10k hulk!!!It should really be the other way around!! When I'm spending $10k on an unnecessary item (luxury and completely unnecessary) paying premium, where the dealer is making upwards of 40% off of me I would expect to be treated with utmost respect not the stories I read here about dealers keeping those pieces for their favorite customers!! I understand the supply and demand and might understand keeping supply less (slightly) than demand to keep value but what's doing on now is crazy!! Unless Rolex messed up big time estimating their production volume for the year, they are going out of business (highly doubt it) or have a sadistic CEO I don't get it!!But for ADs to supply grey market and deprive high paying customers that I do not get at all!!!I'm just mmmmaaaaaaaddddddd There isn't any unnecessary item
