Eterna Royal KonTiki Two Time Zones Watch
The Royal KonTiki Two Time Zones by Eterna is a handsome watch, but watch industry pundits will no doubt consider the bigger story being the first appearance of the new Calibre 39 in a production watch.It couldn't have happened soon enough.When the Calibre 39 was announced this year, its appearance seemed to embody that well known saying ascribed to Plato that "Necessity is the mother of invention." Since ETA owner, the Swatch Group, announced their intention to limit the supply of ETA movements to competing companies, the scramble had begun to find an alternative supplier.After-all, with the drying up of the supply of these workhorse engines, many watch companies would be left with pretty watch cases with nothing to put inside, thus threatening their survival. Those?companies who could (ie: with deep pockets) were given?impetus?to develop in-house movements, partly to remove dependence?on external suppliers, and partly to move up the chain as it were, towards credibility as a watchmak

Costco selling Gold and SS Chronomat 41
I saw a chronomat 41 in rose gold and SS at local costco for a discount price of $5.5k. The list price is about $13,100. This is the discontinued model. What do you guys think of this watch as a whole and then at the price point it's being sold at Costco. Also what's your take on buying it at Costco? thanks.

Omega vs. Costco
Has anyone on here bought one of these watches at Costco in the past? Omega is in the process of suing, see AOL headlines today!

Patek Nautilus vs. Rolex Oyster SS Bracelets
Chaps, as an owner of both brands and bracelets with the onset of warmer weather, I'm curious what your thoughts are on both. Do you favor one over the other ? If so, why ? Does the finishing on a Patek bracelet outweigh the Oyster for you ? Thanks for the candid responses !

How many of us have been pushed "upmarket" into PM models because of SS scarcity?
I'm curious to know how many have decided to buy PM versions because the SS is simply impossible to get. I know this happened to me. Like everyone else, I wanted a 5711 in steel, but at some point the value proposition flipped when the practical cost of getting one skyrocketed. So I went with the rose gold version, and I'm happy with it.I'm starting to think the same way with the Daytona. Every time I visit my AD, the only ones in the case to even try on are the PM versions. So after putting the Platona on a number of times just to see how the Daytona looks on my wrist - guess what - I think I'm hooked...If this has been their strategy all along, to prop up demand for PM models, it appears to be working. On fools like me at least. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
