Certina DS-1 Watch Goes Back To The Basics, Carrera Style
I know the first think you see when you look at the new Certina DS-1 is the Tag Heuer Carrera. Yes the hands and face look devilishly similar, and the bracelet might as well being out the Tag Heuer parts bin, not that the Certina has anything to do with Tag Heuer, corporately speaking that is. No, Certina is one of the many Swatch Group brands, and as such can enjoy ETA movements for years to come. Regardless, Certina still loves to "imitate" Tag Heuer designs routinely. Tag Heuer falls under the LVMH group of brands.Certina watches aren't too common in the US, being mostly reserved as a low to mid-priced watch for more established watch markets. Regardless, Certina is a respectable brand, with a good level of quality for what you pay. The DS-1 takes you back to a time before digital watches when you needed to have high legibility analog watches, with a sporty flair. When you first digest the Certina DS-1, it is noticeably retro, but enjoys a good deal of refinement in it's handsome ap

AP RO for a Daytona - would you trade?
Hi guys,I have a 116520 Daytona, which I like. However, I still cant get over the RO, which was on my shortlist when buying the Daytona.I finally decided to go for the Daytona based on rugged design, good value and the overall look of it (and of course the icon status...)They are about the same price in the pre-loved market (Im thinking about the 116520 vs. AP 15300) so an even trade would be possible I guessOne of the reasons not chosing the AP was the high service cost and the more delicate feel of it (e.g. lower WR and more easily scratched) - but is this true or nothing to worry about?To conlude my long rant - would you trade a Daytona for a Royal Oak?(I guess I will get subjective answers here...)

Nothing hollow here...
I'm in a heated discussion on another forum and would like an answer from true experts. Are they solid or hollow. If it depends on model, then let's go with majority. Thanks!

Pepsi price difference is insane
How can there be any justification why the white gold Pepsi with same insert was ?20,000 more expensive than the near on exact same now steel Pepsi there isn’t ?20,000 worth of white gold in it at allAt 18ct white gold rate you can get 1kg bar of white gold to go with your ss Pepsi - I find it staggering, at best there is roughly 150g of white gold in th gold gmt (?3000) so simply put ?17000 is unexplainable.Is it any wonder SS models not being sent out call me cynical but I’m not stupid.
