Gevril GV2 Corsaro Chronograph Is Example Of What To Watch Out For
I have a lot of respect for the people at Gevril and the Gevril Group overall - especially here in the US. However, this is a watch that I needed to go off on for a few reasons. You can see a lot of the BS in this industry by examining some of the details surrounding this watch and the way it is marketed. Items like this provide a good example at why being an educated watch buyer makes sense.This watch is the "limited edition" GV2 Corsaro Chronograph watch. GV2 is a sub-brand under the higher-end Gevril brand. In the last few years, GV2 has moved around a bit in terms of market placement, but has tried to remain an affordable mechanical watch. They apply the term limited edition without discussing the number?of the limited edition in the marketing materials. What does that mean? It means they don't know and it will just be produced as long as they can sell units. That sometimes means not even a full series are made. In other situations it means a brand will produce more than the limite

AP 15400 Rose Gold on Bracelet Clasp Question?
I just pulled the trigger on my first AP and have a question for the experts out there. There seems to be two different clasps on the AP Royal Oak Rose Gold on Bracelet model 15400OR.OO.1220OR.01. If anyone can explain why I would greatly appreciate the help. I don't finalize the purchase tell Monday and the watch will be shipped next day. Here are the pics I pulled from the internet for comparison. Thanks again for any and all help.

How can I get hold of one of the NYC rubber bracelets?
I've just seen a photo of someone's rubber bracelet from the NYC event recently. Silly thing to want but very fitting as I'm buying an Aquanaut and would love to have a band/bracelet to match :-)Is there any possibility of finding one of these somewhere?

New Member, Old and Damaged Air-King
Hi, I'm from DC, and I just inherited a vintage Air-King.Was curious if I could get some advice on the best and/or most cost-effective way to repair said Air-King.I haven't yet removed the band to see the serial number and other information, but it looks to be a 70s or 80s Air-King, with a severely scratched and cracked crystal, and very worn and scratched band. The watch still ticks, but is slower than it should be. I plan on getting the watch repaired fully, but I'm unsure if it is worth going the Rolex certified route when considering the likely value of the watch itself.Watch holds sentimental value, as it was my late grandfather's, given to him by my late grandmother.
