Romain Gauthier Talks Watches: Video On New R. Gauthier Brand And Prestige Collection
Image courtesy of Gary Tok.Yes, another new watch brand. And yes, they are pretty lovely. It really amazes me that so many new luxury watch companies seem to come out of the woodwork, each with their own unique flair and style. R. Gauthier watches are in a class of simple yet elegant watches that are nice without trying too hard. The first line being the R. Gauthier Prestige collection. Various colors and case materials from steel to gold are available . The off center dial leaves room for a more artistic take on watch dial design with emphasis on classic elements like Roman numerals and textured dials. It is actually a refreshing departure from the aggressively "futuristic" look of many new watches that claim to be such feats of mechanics when they really are not. The R.

I think I still prefer the original. Anyway, do any of you guys have the Pitch Black and have any wrist shots you can share? It would be cool to see it in real life action. Thanks!

picture request side by side please
Hello all. I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I am looking to purchase a Planet Ocean 2500 in 42mm. I also am looking to acquire an SMP in the 41mm size. I have worn a 2264.5 for a few years but would love to see the two watches side by side to see a true comparison of the overall sizes relative to each other. Also, are the lug widths both 20mm on each? I would love to swap bracelets and straps between the two. What is the lug width of the 45 mm model of PO? I will thank you in advance for anh help you can provide. These are tough decisions comming up...

Anyone experienced this on a 7801/1A ?
Hi All, I just acquired a brand new 7018/1A two weeks ago. I was appalled when the crown was detached from the watch! Has anybody experienced this problem. Thank you.unnamed.jpg
