Paul Picot Technograph Wild 44mm Watch Available On James List
Sometimes you just want a good reptile skinned watch, but they can be so hard to find. Why? Well us Americans get kind of bent out of shape about it. Yes, I am all for Animal rights. Frankly I would put Animals above humans in many regards, but when it comes to animals that are raised, just to be killed for their "parts," sure it is cruel, but it is not really damaging to the environment. It would be different if you had guys going out into the jungle to kill pythons just for their skin. That would be bad, really bad. But when you farm the creatures for it? Well then if you are against that, then you are against eating chickens (cause they are raised just to be killed too).?? I am now expecting a slew of angry e-mails and comments. Proceed please, I did put myself out there with the "I love sweet, sweet animal skins" commentary.And on to the watch, this swell looking Paul Picot Technograph Wild 44mm. Why "Wild?" Why not?! I has to do with the materials that these watches in this specif

Beautiful New Ceramic Bell & Ross BRS Watches Is New Direction For The Company
French designed Bell & Ross watches just don't cease to impress me. This company is on a roll! I cannot wait to see where there will be in a few years. Even before they become popular with the release of the BR-01 line of watches, I was a fan. Talk about being ahead of the curve right? Well Bell & Ross realizes the wide appeal of the BR-01 line, and have creates many derivatives. There was the smaller BR-03 at 42mm (as opposed to 46mm with the BR-01), then the BR-02 Diving instrument came out and took the line in an entire new direction. The appeal of the BR-01 was the square case with round dial. Now, Bell & Ross experiments by taking a decidedly more formal approach than is typical with the commonly rugged and instrumental looks of the BR-01.The New BRS models are not the first ceramic watches to be released by Bell & Ross. They recently came out with black and white ceramic BR-03 watches (even with diamonds), but the BRS watches are smaller yet (though still large e

Aftermarket Buckles for offshore?
Just picked up a Rubberclad! Loving it so far but having a hard time with the fit. It's either too tight or too loose. Just wondering what is everyone using for a buckle option? I've heard of AP bands but are there any other aftermarket buckles? Thanks!

New bond watch...What are they thinking?
.hodinkee/blog/2012/1/...s-bond-50.htmlHave you guys seen this new LE bond watch? Does anyone actually like it? I have always wanted a speedmaster, but over the top commercial tributes like this really make me question Omega's respect to their own brand and history. Thoughts?

Finding the perfect travel companion... Incoming 5164A
I got bitten by the Patek bug just a little over 4 months ago and started off with a 5167. I was quite amazed with how well put together it was with its very sleek profile, stunning anthracite dial and supreme comfortness, dare I say one of the most comfortable watches that I have ever owned. I thought I would live forever in happiness with it, and could wait patiently for a 5712.Well that is, until the 5164 caught my eye. When I think Patek, I think complications, and they've done an amazing job of integrating a very practical complication, and somehow made the piece cleaner and more balanced. I've always loved the idea of having a dual time, and bought a BLNR for that purpose, but found the function not so practical to use with having to unscrew the crown and adjust the local time. So then my search began for one. One thing that I simply could not ignore was the huge price tag on the 5164 - it looked like it was going to be a pretty significant cash top-up from the 5167. After much e
