Pontiac Watches Dead Long Before Car Maker Kicks Bucket
I don't know when Pontiac watches died, but they did. They were not an American brand, but as brands come and go, Pontiac went the way of the Dodo a long time ago. GM recently announced that Pontiac will shut down. The over 80 year old division of General Motors has had better times of course, but are we really losing much with the elimination of this automobile brand? The last important Pontiac car was probably the late 1960's GTO line, but that was just because it looked cool - since then it has been dog after derivative dog. The only good recent Pontiac cars were just re-branded Australian Holden cars. While still technically GM cars, Holden had no connection to the chronically dysfunctional American design and engineering side of things.This article is mostly my mention of Pontiac's death, but of course you can see images of the Pontiac watches - just needed to make the timepiece connection! Going back to the cars, I've always had a distinct sense of distaste for the ugly autos. I

Smaller AP RO doubts: 14790 vs 15450.
Hello AP watch lovers,We all start our watch addition somewhere and mine has been developing quite fast.I own currently only a Rolex SUb 2 liner 14069 and an Omega Speedmaster that I picture below for wrist reference and would like to enlarge my watch rotation with a different style (considering also a white Daytona but upfront comes the RO).My wrist is around 17cm which equates to 6.75 inches and therefore my preference goes to smaller watches (say max 40 as my sub above).I was eying the RO 14790 blue dial , a 36 with JLC caliber , thinner that the new 37 version, which in the condition that I look for ( full set and not polished or minimal ) is between 10 and 12k - never tried this watch and will most probably not have the a chance to try it before buying.or the new that I tried this weekend 15450 (37 and in house movement and thicker case )in blue dial below:l which has a retail of 17k�.I know most of you will advise to go for 15202 but I strongly believe would be too big for my ta

Sure it can dive!
Hello!Two years ago, I adopted a 16610LV, classic with its little acid touch.Seawater, poolwater, shower, I love to get wy watch with me everytime: it follows me everywhere, 24/7.I did not like the patek lines at the first sight.. but I saw yesterday the 5711/1a-011, i.e. white dial nautilus, and loved it.* How do the 324SC compare to the 3135 movement, not in finish, but in long-term reliability and accuracy?* Can the patek follow me everywhere like the sub, despite the fact that it is not a titanium or a 904l watch? (I can not rinse my watch immediatly after bathing in the sea)*Can it dive?*Can we consider the patek as a more low profile watch for travelling?*Is the bracelet as reliable as the sub one?*What is the price of this white dial nautilus?Every information will be read with a lot of pleasure, and every picture will be admired.Thank you a lot!
