Xezo Air Commando Hands On
In the world of watches, whether “luxury” or “affordable” there are a handful of names that come up again and again in each category (and across categories at times). Every now and then an unfamiliar name will surface and provide a new option for watch enthusiasts. Xezo however, is not a new name: they have been producing “sensibly priced, high-quality, handcrafted luxury items in limited quantities designed with exquisite beauty to express the creative side of your personality” since 2001. Since 2002 Xezo (pronounced Zee-zo) has been producing watches with some similar and appreciated traits: limited runs (usually 500 per piece), Swiss movements and reasonable prices.I came across the subject of this piece, the Xezo Air Commando, when looking for a new, affordable sports watch. I needed something that I could wear in the pool and a crystal that would stand up to my klutziness; I was after a Swiss movement and a rotating diver-style bezel and a price

Hands-On: With The Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Duoface (Live Pics)
One of the great re-births of the last two years has been that of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso.? Already considered a classic by most, the Reverso went through a slimming down back in 2011 with the creation of the Tribute to 1931, and it has taken on an entirely new life in the minds of consumers, collectors, auction houses, and the odd mega-mogul.? 2 OF 9 At this year's SIHH, we saw a few new Reverso models get the spotlight, and this is one of our favorites - the Grande Reverso Ultra Thin Duoface, known by most as the "Reverso Duo".? It too has been slimmed down by over 1mm, and on one side been given a face similar to that of the 1931, lacking any "Jaeger-LeCoultre" branding.? The other side resembles the previous version Reverso Duo.? For those unfamiliar with the concept of the Reverso Duo, it is essentially a dual faced, dual timezone watch that has one movement powering two dials, working opposite each other.? The button on the case side adjusts the second timezon

New Adjustable Clasp for Speedy Pro 3570.5
So I've been thinking about getting one of these Omega glidelock style adjustable clasps, and I've been reading online about them. Frankly, Rolex could care less if you want a glidelock clasp. Pay them their huge price, or just deal with not getting it. Omega is much simpler and more rational about it. Not having a nearly unlimited fund forces them to be responsive to their loyal customers demands. So it turns out there are 3 different adjustable clasps. They have a shorter clasp which has 3 adjustable positions. They also have two larger clasps that each have 5 adjustable positions. These clasps apparently work on many different models. However, it can get very confusing. I know more about Rolexes and which series number and bracelet goes with which model. Also, they seem to have very long model numbers. In all of my research, I never actually confirmed what specific clasp and links I would need for the 3570.5. After never figuring it out, I called Topper jewelers,

talk to me about my PAM 024
I loved the look of the PAM024 dive watch. So much so that I traded my Rolex Sea Dweller (not deep sea) and some cash for the PAM.So tell me what you think about the PAM024 (i.e. it's pretty; it's accurate; it's highly prized, etc.). Have you sold a PAM024 before and regretted it? Thanks!
