Xicorr FSO M20.01 Hands-On
Xicorr is a young Polish watch brand committed to putting "made in Poland" on the map. We reviewed their first watch, the Circle, back in 2013. Though we found the overall design a bit divisive, we were taken with the unique aesthetic of the case and its solid build quality. ?We were most impressed with the brand’s commitment to building their watches from the ground up, with all components, excluding the movement, designed in-house and made to spec. Eventually, Xicorr would like to sell watches entirely made in Poland, and though the company currently uses third-party movements��mostly from China��they hope to manufacture their own down the line.In the meantime, Xicorr has been busy releasing a number of new models, many of them automotive inspired. Today, we're taking a look at the Xicorr FSO M20.01, a watch based on the FSO Warszawa M20 car produced in Poland from 1951 to 1973 (it was the first post-war Polish car produced on a national scale). It's a bit of an obscure reference

Some sales people get it, some don't
I had the opportunity to establish a nice relationship with a sales associate at an Omega Boutique. He really knew his Omega stuff and I could tell he was a true WIS through our conversation. Based solely on his professionalism and politeness, I decided to purchase a few buckles and a new strap and pay full MSRP instead of going through my normal online discounted sources. I even told him so and he was appreciative since, as a WIS, he knows that there are plenty of places to buy watch goods online. My items arrived April 1st and I stopped by April 2nd to pick them up. I asked the gentleman I had been working with if I could just buy some of them and hold the strap for my wife to pick up as she mentioned it would be a gift. He was more than accommodating and I told him she would be in during the month sometime. He said not to worry and he would be happy to hold it for her as long as needed. We left it at that I left feeling like a valued customer. He sent a follow up email thanking me

Has anyone got issue 1 of this? Does it have any Patek content and is it any good. Thanks

DD40 + Steel Royal Oak vs RG Royal Oak
Im very close to going down to the Rolex AD this morning to pick up a yellow gold DD40 with champagne dial. However, I got to thinking last night that I could drive a bit further and add my steel Royal Oak 15400ST to the cash and get a full rose gold Royal Oak 15400OR...What would you go for? In my opinion when it comes to a full metal watch, yellow gold suits me better than rose gold. However, there is no denying that the 15400OR is one hell of a watch and would be great to own, looking incredible on the wrist... but is it better than a DD40 AND a steel Royal Oak 15400ST??
