Kairos Smartwatch Blends Mechanical Watch With Technology
The Kairos smartwatch announced recently combines the best of both worlds. A smart watch, and a competent mechanical watch. Smartwatches, as we've seen before, are hard to make well.One of the arguments against smartwatches?has been, "mechanical watch companies have been doing this for over 100 years, and you aren't going to wipe that out with a pretty LCD, quartz crisis notwithstanding."As an watches-dealer exclusive, we're able to share with you a new model of Kairos watch that you won't see anywhere else. The SSW 158 in all black finish. Sam Yang, Founder and Managing Director of Kairos Watches told us that this model and finish was in high demand. The SSW 158 is equipped with a Swiss movement.Target DemographicYang says, "I just wanted to create a smart watch for the 'non-techies' of the world who want to get smart watch functions." Kairos' first release is a watch that combines a smart watch operating system (Android Wear (which we covered here) or a possibly a custom-made Kairos

It's all about the details
Gotta love AP's finishing. I wonder how these compare to other brands like PP or ALS.Ceramic finishing is impeccable! ---[SKELETON BREAK][/SKELETON BREAK]

Now or Later
Hello EveryoneI am new to posting on this forum but have been reading it for a while and have enjoyed learning so much about Rolexes. I have decided to buy a subc. I know that stock is low right now. I am in no real hurry to purchase it (today or after the first of the year). Given the supply shortage over the holidays that I hear is typical of the SS models this time of the year, is there a trend to lower trusted seller prices or AD discounts after the first of the year or is it better to grab it while I can?Thanks so much

New GMT in Paris
I just pulled the trigger on my second Rolex. Three days ago I saw a 116710LN brand new at the Rolex boutique in the Saint Germaine area. They had just got it in that morning and rather than pull the trigger I decided to think about it. Went back this morning to purchase it and it had sold. Walked out mad at myself for not pulling the trigger. My wonderful wife said call around. I started calling all the other dealers in Paris with no luck. On the last call to Wempe we were in luck. Gave them my name and rushed over in the pouring rain. They had received the watch yesterday morning and it was still in it's shipping package. Pulled the trigger on the spot. Here is a pic of it at the louvre.

New incoming - their tactic worked!
Earlier this week my local AD hooked me up with a hulk when I went in to look at a DD40, this 'favour' meant I had no option but to go ahead with the DD40 purchase - I am a gentleman after all In all seriousness though, I am very pleased with this new purchase, Rolex's yellow gold is such a wonderful colour and the president bracelet combined with the fluted bezel is an absolutely winning combination. I had thought about a different dial but in the end it had to be the classic & iconic champagne with sticks The AD was kind enough to include a battery operated watch winder (much needed for my safe!) and a lovely Rolex overnight bag - plus I earned enough Avios for a weekend city break so will be able to use the bag soon. So a very satisfactory transaction and it's great to have a 'good' AD in my local city.Some pics of the arrival, meeting its new stablemate, and a couple of wrist shots in the sun.Cheers everyone RJ
