In-Depth: The Watches Of Mad Men (Season Five), Courtesy Of The Man Who Sourced Them
Few television shows have been as loudly or consistently praised for the quality and authenticity of its costumes, sets and props as AMC’s Mad Men. Now in its fifth season, the show continues to go to great efforts to source appropriate accessories to showcase a hyper real version of New York in 1966.This obsession with historically accurate physical culture extends to the wrists of the characters, and for years watch fans have eagerly paused DVDs on partially blurred wristshots of Don Draper and his co-workers. The ability to accurately identify a watch from 50 paces (or a blurred screengrab) is a highly prized skill among watch fans. James Enloe, founder of Watches In Movies (the premier watches on screen website), attributes the desire for fans to identify watches as an extension of watchnerds' passion, and an important way to show off their otherwise esoteric knowledge. Of Mad Men, Enloe suggests that the there’s a double appeal for fans; “It makes for good wa

OOPS I did it again!
I could not get the images of this watch out of my head. I actually wanted this last year when I bought the 5712G. There was something I loved about being able to wear a PP no matter the weather and not worry about it getting wet or high humidity to ruin a leather strap!This watch is as comfortable a watch as I have ever had and extremely easy to read! Both important as I get older! The finish and detailing of the watch is amazing. Without further delay, my new 5164!Sent from Kevin's Tapatalk!

5204p
Greetings TRF,I recently had the chance of looking at a few pictures of a rather special timepiece made by Patek Philippe and I was tempted to post a thread about it. What I like about this watch is that it has as many good things as it has special and funny aspects (in my humble opinion, that is) I'd like to point out in order to make people think about it in the hope that this will lead to a very interesting discussion. Without further introduction, allow me to review the Patek Philippe 5204p.The case: When I started to admire the case of the 5204p, I thought it would be interesting to compare it with the watch's older non in-house brother, the 5004.Here are two pictures (which aren't mine) of the said watches to help my description.50045204pThe first thing I noticed while looking at those two watches was the difference between the crowns and pushers. Although I personally prefer the 5004's popped out pushers I think the ones on the 5204p really enhance what I think this watch repres

Datejust redesigned case - How fast will SS and DD follow?
I know it's guessing but based on the past, how fast will Rolex release the updated Datejust in SS and offer new/other dial configurations? Or is this something reserved for Basel 2019? I like the TT but I rather get a SS DJ with a special (blue) dial.And I was wondering if they would change the 36mm Day-Date case as well? Go through the whole DJ and DD line-up (except the DD40).

GMT Bezel on an old Explorer II
I have an older model Rolex Explorer II that I want to put a black GMT bezel on. I've seen/heard it can be done from different sources on the net. But when I took my Explorer to a local watch shop, they told me my model explorer is one of only two years that this will not work on. I have the 16570. Anyone know if this is true or if the guy didn't know what he was doing? Or am I just wishful thinking? I'm kindof set on doing it if possible and disappointed if it can not be done with this model.
