Interview: Georges Kern Of Roger Dubuis
Just like 2011 was a strong year for Zenith, this past 12 months marked a return of sorts for Roger Dubuis. The manufacture refocused its efforts on producing handsome, highly finished watches such as La Monegasque Collection, which we showed you here. Also, 2011 marked the return of the brand's founding father, Roger Dubuis himself, to the brand that bears his name.   1 OF 1 But what does Georges Kern, the man behind the rebirth of Dubuis have to say about all this? Well, Blake sat down with him in Monaco to chat about why he think Dubuis is a special brand, and just much more money goes into the finish of an RD movement than into a standard mechanical watch. Also, Kern says Roger Dubuis is the only manufacture in the world that is completely in-house from top to bottom, and marked with the Geneva seal. Because of this, the standard Dubuis movement costs around $5000, while many competitors' movements, he says, cost a fraction of this. Since the filming

Calatrava 5296G-010
Guys, I have the possibility to get a 5296G-010 at a significant discount (10%) from an AD close to me. This watch has been on my radar for a while now but haven't pulled the trigger because of a mix of personal and practical reasons, none of which have to do anything with money. Maybe the most prominent reason is that I live in a very hot and humid city (Dubai) and I was told that the leather strap 'disintegrates' really fast in this weather if I choose to wear the watch on a daily basis, which I am planning to. The AD told me that, with daily wear, the strap would need to be replaced every 8 months! I also understood it is a very fagile model, although I would never wear it during sports activities.This watch is for my personal taste, and because of its simplicity, by far the most beautiful timepiece and I do not have any other in my wishlist (I do not like the 'bulky' 5227, nor the 'sector dial' or other gold versions of the 5296, nor the other overly classical Calatravas). Worth me

Good to be back in the fold.
The last few months I've been feeling a huge void after letting go my two beloved PAM's. So the thirst to get back in the fold is insatiable and after a quick trip to the AD, here is my new PAM. It's just a lowly 024 (and my first Sub) so there's nothing to write home about. But boy oh boy, do I love it. I also picked up this assolutamente strap...

Oysterflex on Daytona C.....love it!
Just put my new a Oysterflex on my 116500 today. Took a while to get the correct fitting combo.....but worth the wait. Thanks to Takuya (Thanh Do) for getting me the correct straps and his patience....also, Chadridv for his helpful tips. I have 7” wrists so the combo that worked for me is E-E & E-G with a minor adjustment at the clasp.
