Revelation R03 Chronographe RS Watch
For their second watch, Revelation will release a very cool and much more sober piece compared to their first piece called the R01 Tourbillon Manege (that I covered here). This new for 2012 watch is called the Revelation R03 Chronographe RS. Not sure where the R02 watch went - I must have missed that one. The special feature of this watch is a face that goes from totally opaque black to completely transparent.The system is much more simple on the R03 than on the R01 (which applied the same special set of crystals). The latter piece has a crazy motor system while the R03 has a face that is manually adjusted by turning the bezel. Let me try to explain a bit more in case the concept is a bit vague. Think of the system of two crystals as creating a series of shutters - nano shutters. When they are lined up one way the watch face looks totally black. As you turn the bezel the shutters move and the dial gets progressively more transparent, until it is totally clear. This means you can have t

Just received my new toshi strap!
HiJust wanted to share this little incoming for my 233. Color is storm grey with light stitching.I am really impressed by the quality of the strap!The leather is very flexible and robust at the same time, I love it.I want to get another one already.

Thought the SD43 was the one but...
it's a little too large and heavy. Purchased BNIB, I've only worn it twice. Thought I'd love the size and all, but it's larger than I thought it would be and the added weight is noticeable. Am I crazy or what? I really think a SubC date is the right one for me. I've tried one on before and I really think that would be a better fit. What do you guys think?

Datejust 2 UK discount
I know I will be in the minority but, after trying on the DJ41 I was left a little underwhelmed.For me I prefer the size of the DJ2, this may be due to it being a little thicker like my beloved Milguass, coupled with the stunning blue azzurro/roman dial.Would I be right in assuming that there would be plenty of these models still in their displays and, with this in mind, do you think I could obtain a good discount? - So far I have been offered 5% bringing the price down to ��4988.

Basel Fatigue?
Hi I was wondering if anyone here sometimes wishes that Rolex would take a year off from Basel? One of the things I appreciate from Rolex, is that they stay true to their models, we don't see 100 different limited editions etc.I sometimes wonder, wouldn't it be great if Rolex only made some small changes at Basel (ie consolidate some models, perhaps put the new 32. movement in some watches) and really just focus on producing more of their current great models so they can sell more to the consumers who want them. No more 2 year waitlists!I think of the time I might save by not pondering endless speculation threads about this or that? My employer would be happy, I mean I really should take a vacation day on March 22nd because I am not exactly productive on my computer that day! Anyhow, not sure I would really like this, the anticipation is a big part of the fun, but sometimes I wonder..........
