URWERK UR-110 ZrN Torpedo Champagne Supernova Watch
While this isn't the all-black UR-110 Torperdo watch from URWERK (that I discussed hands-on here), this is a special limited edition version closer to that with a black coated dial and caseback. The original version was in naked titanium. It looked interesting but many people claimed that it looked a bit unfinished. Eagerly awaiting a black-coated model, URWERK has now presented this UR-110 ZrN Torpedo model to us. The black coated dial does look very nice - especially with its red and electric green elements. Rather than a black case front, it is now titanium coated with Zirconium Nitride (ZrN).The result is a color that looks a bit like champagne. Because of this URWERK calls the watch the Torpedo "Champagne Supernova." With such a lofty title, I do hope that the watch does not live up to its highly destructive name. Imagine the bubbles and pieces of cork being hurled millions of light years in each direction.Limited to just 12 pieces the UR-110 ZrN Torpedo Champagne Supernova will b

Seiko Here I Come: Going To Japan
Japan here I come! Today I leave for a week to the motherland of one of the most popular watch brands in the world. I like that even "non watch people" know exactly what I am talking about when I say "Seiko." I've been invited by them on a media trip, and am going to take pictures and cover it as best I can. My travels there for the week will take me to many places deep into the heart of Seiko, from meeting their master watch makers who lovingly assemble the Spring Drive movements,?? to seeing the assembly floor of their rank and file models consumed the world over.The bad news is that I may not have too many opportunities to blog. While in my grandest perceptions of Japan (I was there once), the country is blanketed in a warm embrace of universal internet access, I have a feeling that I won't have access to it. My time there is pretty regimented, so I can't promise as regular writing as I would like, but be patient. I will be back, and you'll get to hear all about it. As I know there

21mm options
having just acquired a 43.5mm PO, i've found myself in quite a spot.i've got a tonne of 20mm straps, natos, and generic bracelets, and i've got a few 22mm natos tooBUT, i've kinda grown out of nylon in recent days and generally prefer the bracelet or rubber.that said, i am having a helluva time finding the kind of 21mm rubber i'm looking for. ideally, i'd like something like what Rubber B or Everest Straps offers with the curved ends that fit the case.i've looked into genuine omega rubber straps with deployment and they are quite expensive. does anyone know of any strap makers that do a rubber strap kinda like what rubber b and everest do?Cheers,Matte

I can't leave out puffy and Mosco for their enabling pics :)Without further introduction ....You didn't think I'd do the reveal that easily did you lol :) anyone have a guess ;)

New Rolex day date?
Hi there am I right in thinking the dd40 was launched in 2015? I am considering getting one in gold. How often do Rolex usually update their watches do you think this will be around for another 5 years or so without any changes to their day date range? Thank you
