Is The Swatch Group Interested In Fighting Apple Over The iWatch Trademark?
Swatch Group, one of the largest companies in the watch world, is defending its "iSwatch" trademark in anticipation of an iWatch from Apple - one of the most valuable companies in the world. Going on the offense and filing disputes to defend the iSwatch mark may be the correct course of action for Swatch if Apple does indeed choose to name their very likely upcoming smartwatch product "iWatch."The situation is seemingly simple. The Swatch Group, which owns the watch brand Swatch has been using the iSwatch name for several years as related to a product collection. Swatch anticipates that Apple will release a product called "iWatch" in the near future and is using legal means to defend the iSwatch name claiming that the term iWatch would be confusingly similar to iWatch in certain parts of the world such as the United States.

Sell my two Rolexes for a Nautilus?
So, I think the PP bug has bitten me. I just got the 5167a (as you my hv read my last post) and really enjoy it. Now, I'm thinking nautilus too, as the SS bracelet wold nicely complement the rubber on the 5167a. However, I feel that if I get the nautilus there would be too much aesthetic overlap with my Rolexes - white SS Daytona and GV. Essentially, the stainless bracelet, PCL, etc, all combine to create a very similar overall look. So, two part question:1) should I sell the Daytona and GV to fund a nautilus. I'd be left with my 5167a and a yellow dial Breitling SuperOcean (beater). Or, just save up for the nautilus. Or, maybe just relax a little and wait it out?2) if I proceed, which nautilus? Blue 5711 (because it's classic and hard-to-find); white 5711 (which I like, but worry about whether i'd like the white dial once a own the watch); blue 5712 (because it adds a complication at little incremental cost); black 5726 (because the annual calendar is cool, but incremental cost is hig

663 and 233 shots
Hi, a couple of years ago I got a 233, bought various straps since then. Last month I bought a 663 - different strap size obviously, and I just got my first 26mm strap and took some photos - and thought I would share.
