Couture 2015: Bell & Ross Courts Cigar Aficionados with Vintage WW1 Edici��n Limitada
One of the most anticipated events at each year’s JCK and Couture watch and jewelry shows in Las Vegas is Bell & Ross’s Friday evening cocktail party at its villa in the Wynn. And one of my annual traditions is enjoying a fine cigar �� rolled on the premises by a skilled torcedor �� with Bell & Ross CEO and fellow cigar enthusiast Carlos Rossillo (the “Ross” in Bell & Ross) at the party. This year, the experience was extra special, since the cigar in question was an all-new, official Bell & Ross cigar �� a Nicaraguan puro made specifically to accompany the brand’s Vintage WW1 Edicion Limitada timepiece, packaged in a unique box that doubles as a humidor.The Bell & Ross Vintage WW1 Edicion, Limitada,?with its rich brown and rose-gold color scheme? is Rossillo’s attempt to blend the diverse but similarly tradition-rich worlds of watchmaking and cigar making.

Strap that comes with PAM 510, 514
Quick question, the superb standard strap the comes with the PAM 510, 514 and a few other Panerai watches.Can this now be bought seperate ? I think it would be the bomb on my PAM 359 Edit: I think it is on Panerai website as vintage calf black, ecrue stitching, hand stitched. Hard to tell, as they do not tell you which models have which strap as standard & looking in person at the watch strap vs website pictures tricks me sometimes.

My AD is low on inventory
Went to my local AD today.....my goodness, they do not have much inventory. The salesman was telling me that Rolex hasn't been sending as many watches to the US this year. Is this true??
