Rado D-Star 200 Dive Watches
While I like this new watch range a lot I am torn because it is a Rado without being a modern Rado. What do I mean? Well for the last long while Rado watches have been mostly typified by having mostly ceramic cases. In fact Rado was pretty much the innovator behind ceramic watch. For 2012 a cool re-done diver collection comes out and it barely has any ceramic! Well, a bit more on the chrono model. If you can get over that then you'll probably like these new D-Star 200 Dive watches a lot.I am not sure of all the color styles that will be available but so far we have blue and black trim models. The D-Star 200 will also come in three-hand and chronograph variants. The three-hand model will be 42mm wide and the chronograph will be 44mm wide. The cases are in steel and sort of retro-barrel shaped. I actually like this case design a lot. Interestingly enough Rado claims that the deployment clasps on the bracelets will be in titanium.The D-Star 200 names stems from the fact that the watches a

Swatch Women��s Pro Trestles Surf Competition
When you think of Swatch, you think of plastic fashion watches, first and foremost. And if you're a WIS �C or if you read our History of the Swatch Group?�C you maybe think of the company that helped save the Swiss watch industry.But do you think lifestyle? Do you think of mountains and skiing? Does sun and surf occur to you? Bronzed athletic bodies performing amazing stunts while attached to boards sliding over water, frozen or liquid?I spent a few days in southern California to find out what #swatchlife was all about.Surfing, as you may know, is a lifestyle sport. And it's an international sport like few others. Formula 1, golf, tennis �C and a few others qualify. Unfortunately, they don't take place in the gorgeous surroundings surfing does. Warm weather, green water, white sand, bikini-clad women. Yeah, surfing kinda scratches the itch.And so it was that I found myself on San Onofre State Beach near San Clemente. The ASP Women's Pro Tour joined the Men at the fabled surf spot known as

Pairs Well With: Defakto Akkord
Vintage watches are all the rage. Whether authentically aged or designed to look it, vintage seems to be the go-to for the well dressed. As such, we've done quite a few Pairs Well Withs on watches that speak to a time cooler than our own. Well, enough is enough! Today, we are going to pair some duds with a watch that is unabashedly modern, the Defakto Akkord.As severe as it is clean, as bold as it is minimal, the Defakto Akkord is a watch for those with an eye for proportion and simplicity. Made in Pforzheim, Germany, the ETA 2824-2 powered automatic will turn heads with its high contrast markers and hold attention with its curious skeleton hour hand. Also featuring a sapphire crystal, display case back and your choice of calf leather strap, at around $550 before shipping, it's an incredible deal for a German made watch.To pair with such a particular watch, we went with structural clothing and a monochromatic palette. Sportier than our typical selection, this clothing emphasizes athlet

If Rolex release a Red letter Submariner
Hi everyone. I will have the opportunity to pick up a SS43. Given the baselworld teasing/ speculation, Rolex may release a Submariner with red letter. Will you get the Submariner with red letter or Sea Dweller with red letter?
