Super Mario's World In The Mr. Jones Watches Sun And Moon Miyamoto
This newest Mr. Jones Watches model pays homage to the world of Super Mario Bros. with a background directly inspired by the landscape video gamers first experienced in the mid-1980s with the Super Mario Bros. video game. On the original Nintendo Entertainment System console, Super Mario Bros. was probably the first video game that I personally ever played, and I find the inclusion of the Super Mario Bros. universe in this watch to be warmly nostalgic. Those familiar with Mr. Jones Watches will understand the company's penchant toward weird and artistic timepieces, which justify themselves thanks to the brands relative affordability. With that said, even with a just-over-$200 price, the Mr. Jones Watches Sun and Moon Miyamoto is nevertheless part of a limited edition set.The "Sun and Moon Miyamoto" name of the watch refers to Nintendo's Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto who is one of the most influential game designers of all time. In addition to being the man behind Super Mario Bros., many know Mi

IWC Three-Hand Ingenieur Sport Watches For 2013
Perhaps IWC's new 40mm wide Ingenieur dress watch was the most talked about new Ingenieur piece for 2013, but for those who like larger sport watches, these more simple-dialed Ingenieur pieces will fit the bill. Whether it is a phase or just because I like loud watches, I fully appreciate smaller dress watches, but simply have so little time in my life to wear them. When choosing a watch to wear on a daily basis, I tend to opt for three-hand sport watches that are at least 42-44mm wide. Knowing that about myself makes me pay close attention to those new watches that would probably see a lot of time on my wrist. At SIHH 2013, IWC debuted two such models, the Ingenieur Automatic AMG Black Series Ceramic and the Ingeniuer Automatic Carbon Performance.Both of these watches have a lot in common. Most important to IWC is probably that they are each produced as part of the brand's relationship with the Mercedes AMG Pertronas race team that competes in Formula 1 races. IWC more or less transfo

What would you do with a WG Pepsi if it were discontinued?
Putting a different spin on the blro discontinuation threads here.Let's say you own a WG Pepsi and Rolex does discontinue it come Basel 2018. What would you do with your BLRO? Would you automatically stash it in the safe waiting for the value to increase? Continue wearing it as usual?Wear it less frequently?My concern is that there is going to be one part that is going to be a problem to replace if it discontinued- the bicolor (blue/red, purple/cranberry) ceramic bezel, just like the original GMT with the bakelite bezel. Here's an interesting quote from Rolex in the WatchTime review of the WG Pepsi: Here is some text from the official Rolex press release that we hope will help you to fully understand how difficult the process of creating a two-tone Cerachrom bezel is:The name Cerachrom derives from a contraction of the word ceramic juxtaposed with the suffix chrom from the ancient Greek word for colour . The range of available shades for ceramic is however restricted by its

3186 Broken Hour Wheel Click Spring
I have an Explorer 2 16750 with a 3186 Movement. The hour wheel click spring recently broke so that when I move the crown to the 2nd position, the hour hand moves smoothly instead of clicking from hour to hour. It also does not line up correctly with the minute hand. After researching the boards, I see that this is a common, known issue by Rolex.What should I expect to pay for RSC to fix the spring, given that this is a know manufacturing problem? I prefer not to send my watches to RSC as I don't want any polishing or dial/hand replacement. Finally, will a new replacement spring fix the problem or should I expect this to remain a weakness throughout the life of the watch?
