Tourneau Watch Stores: Oh The Places You'll Need To Go!
Oh Tourneau, how far you've come from being the world's most important watch retailer to the equivalent of a fancy candy store. There was a time when your incredible deployment of watch stores was the most important place for a high end watch to be. Your large distribution of locations carries some of the best brands in the world. To bad it mostly only looks nice.Enter these establishments to be met with mostly sales goons. Like lurking sharks they circle looking for a bite. Enter their lair and reveal anything but and instant desire to buy, and be met with an attitude of the likes you'll prefer to swing a fist at. I've actually muttered before "You realize that in the event I was going to buy, I am not going to now, or ever from you."On one occasion an enterprising member of their "force" actually asked me for a job realizing I was someone who knew about watches. "Come on Ariel, you'd help me out if you have a need for me right?" I kid you not, this actually happened. My empathy soars

Some new Speedy shots! Share your, a Speedy Pro Picture thread!
Well they are not quite what I want to capture. My camera has a pathetic Macro mode. Its not bad though considering the camera cost only $150 or so. I guess you get what you pay for! Anyway some shots from my morning walk here, and a few others. I love how the Hestalite crystal looks in the light and how it distorts at certain angles. I love how it gives the watch a warm look at the right angles with with the right lighting. Some were cell phone pics, so they didnt come too well.

2018 Rolex Submariner with Tungsten Carbide Case and bracelet?
Tungsten has a rating of 9 on the Mohs scale. It is very difficult to machine. Some are doing it though in making watches, rings, and jewelry.I wonder if Rolex would consider this for a Submariner? It is virtually scratch proof and it is my understanding that it weighs about the same as gold.Using Tungsten would ensure the watch would not get all beat up -- ever. This might not be so good for a company that probably wants their products to be somewhat consumable in that they show signs of wear and tear and eventually a Rolex owner might say This one is looking too beat up. Time to get a new one.In my opinion, Tungsten would be an amazing step forward in Rolex case and bracelet construction. But I doubt we will see it anytime soon.

Brochure
Anyone have or know how to get the e brochure for the Rolex Datejust ii Two Tone black roman dial? The watch is no longer sold by Rolex and I can't seem to find the e brochure. Thanks
