Youth Movement: Girard-Perregaux Brings Young Watchmakers to New York
Recently, I learned firsthand to never again take for granted the faithful functionality of my mechanical watches. Given the opportunity to sit down at a watchmaker’s bench and use the tiny tools to painstakingly and precisely? attach wheels and jewels to a stripped-down baseplate, it became extremely clear just how much concentration, dexterity, and patience �� not to mention plain old horological knowledge �� was required to put together a caliber from scratch and to make it hum. Of course, I had a knowledgeable watchmaker named Ines looking over my shoulder, and my workbench was not in some sterile atelier in Switzerland but on a balcony at New York’s Cipriani Dolci restauarant, overlooking the rush-hour bustle of Grand Central Terminal’s main concourse.The unusual event, in which members of the press were invited to get up close and personal with several of Girard-Perregaux’s talented �� and youngest �� watchmakers in one-on-one workshops, was held to launch the

Sword Hands, Bond Hands, Straight Hands ??
I'm really having trouble liking the latest crop of Omegas.....They are using too much of the skeleton hand that I don't like at all, and the Aqua Terra hands, which I like, are creeping upward in cost..It seems they're stretching their specialty line, Olympics, 007, and LE multicolored everythings, all over the map at the expense of their traditional fare..I don't know....I was looking at the offerings to fill an empty spot in the Omega box, and with no good Great White offering or replacement, I'm just not sure which one I might want to get...Usually something just strikes me, and I can see some future merit that justifies purchase.... not right now !!What about you.. ?

Harrods...
Hello all... just thought I'd share my latest addition... the Tudor BBH. I know this has had mixed opinions with the connection to Harrods and comparisons against the Rolex green editions. But this is a stunning watch, and personally looks much nice than the Hulk, the gold and green works soo well.Feeling very lucky.

Too good to be true?
I'm in the market for a submariner... and heard DavidSW was a great deal. He has a pre-owned Submariner 114060 in pre-owned excellent condition listed for $6100.. just doesn't have warranty card or papers.. 6100 seems very low for an excellent condition pre-owned Rolex sub just because its missing a warranty card/papers... is that normal?.. I haven't seen any good used subs less than 7k... Thanks
