Dodane Type 21 Watch Available On James List
Dodane is a very cool watch brand. They don't exactly have the biggest collection of pieces - banking it all on a single product with a few variations, but a nice product it is. Their fine offering is the Type 21 watch, a historical looking aviation timepieces with a healthy relevance for today's pilot or watch enthusiast. Nothing in the watch sacrifice's its core mission - to be a highly legible timepieces, with a flyback chronograph, and to function as a measuring tool in the event an aircraft's instrumentation dies.Dodane's website does a very good job explaining not only the history of the watch, but also all of its functions and available variations - all with lots of pictures. While not perfect, the site is surprisingly useful - for a watch brand website that is. Based in France, Dodane watches are very rare in the US. The French brand is proud of their history that goes back to 1857. Today, it is said that the fifth generation Dodane family still presides over the brand. I think

AP ROO sharing
Hi guys,I am so happy to share with you my first ever AP ROO Chronograph 'Black Theme'. It's a very beautiful yet elegant timepiece though not as eye catching as the Navy, Panda or Volcano version of the same model but a very humble one which will not catch too much attention at work.Here is some unboxing and wrist shots and I hope you will join me to share my happiness.I'm keeping the plastic on as I will wait to wear it on my birthday some months later.Cheers

Broken Clasp On PO Professional
The clasp on my PO just broke. Luckily I was in my office and not on/in the river like I was Saturday afternoon. So, the reason for posting is, I just received it back from getting a service from a well known/respected repair shop. The clasp has never fully closed onto the bracelet if that makes sense. It has always been slightly tipped up where the Omega sign meets the bracelet. Not sure if this is due to it being sized incorrectly or what. Anyway, the service shop bent the clasp back down so it fit flush. I believe that action caused the clasp to weaken and break where it was bent. I can see two very faint lines where I believe they used a tool to bend it back. What kind of action should I take? The warranty they offer with the service is 24 or 30 months, I can't remember exactly. I'm not looking to place blame on anyone, but I have only had it back for less than a month or so. Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks for your input.

Aquanaut 5167 ... steel bracelet or rubber strap ?
BTW, not a watch I pay much attention too.Are these available or is there also a kind of Nautilus- waiting list?

Out of The Stickers And Into The Wild
For those of you who may have seen my premature Incoming thread (premature in that I was not ready to unsticker/wear) of a couple of days ago, I have finally submitted; I have unstickered, sized, and began wearing, my new Sub ND.I love this thing!Yes, the Pelagos will be going away (the idea to pick up the blue Pelagos was too good...I can't resist) and the Sub now becomes the daily watch for me.Early impressions:1. The lower profile of the Sub is very welcome; the Pelagos stands taller than I realized.2. The relative heft of the sub strikes me; the titanium of the Pelagos makes it seem lighter than maybe it should be. The Sub has more feel on my wrist.3. The cleaner/finer Mercedes hands are a better look to my eyes.4. The Pelagos lume is going to be missed; I wish the Sub had lume on the bezel!5. Most important for last: my wife likes the Rolex better. It's a great week!
