Defakto Akkord Modular Review
Defakto watches is one of the few brands out there that can scratch our itch for a minimal, design focused watch. In the last few years, we've reviewed their Eins, a mechanical one-hander and the Detail a quartz one-hander, both of which were unique and enjoyable. Their focus on minimal dials, stark colors and bold shapes gives them an appeal not often found in the realm of sports watches, while their manufacturing gives them a quality not often found in "design" watches.Today we'll be taking a look at the Akkord Modular model. The Akkord has been out for a couple of years, and was the brand's first departure from one-handers into the world of precise minutes. It stayed true to the brand's aesthetic, but adds some needed functionality. This year, they updated the line with their "Modular" color ways, which mix steel/PVD or bronze/PVD elements for uniquely beautiful cases. Inside, the Akkord is powered by a Swiss-made ETA 2824-2 for good, reliable time keeping. Amazingly, despite rising

Seamaster GMT Service Feedback From Nesbit's
I would like to inform everyone on the very good service I received from Nesbit's after sending in my 2009 SM GMT 50th Anniv. for its first service.The watch had slowly started to act up over the last year where the reserve power would drop off more and more along with other indications showing I needed to have it serviced. Because it was my daily watch and I liked it so much I wore it longer than I should have. I finally decided to put it in the drawer to force myself from making it worse and to also save up the cash for the service (it's part of how we budget things in our home). I checked a number of posts to see the experience folks were having across the country at different shops. After two months of saving and researching, I sent out a couple emails to prospective shops. After getting my numerous questions answered by Jan Nesbit; I sent the watch off to her. Her initial estimate was 30 days so I was quite surprised when she indicated the watch would be finished early at app

Dad��s Rolex. What to do?
Hi! First time poster here... please be gentle if I'm asking a question that's been asked already, but I searched through the forum, and couldn't find a satisfactory answer. =)I just sent in my Dad's Datejust 16014 - I believe it's from the late 70s or early 80s to the Dallas RSC. I don't ever intend on selling it, but would like to keep it in the family as a heirloom piece. My Dad left the family when I was a child, so I don't really have any sentimental attachments to it, but it's just a rather cool piece, it being a relatively old watch. I'm debating whether I should replace the dials and hands. I understand with new dials and hands I will lose the tritium, and the overall faded vintage feel. Considering I don't intend on selling it, should I just have them replace it? Any other factors that I should take into?Thanks in advance! Btw, just placed an order with my AD for my first new Rolex - an Explorer 1... can't wait!

Rolex Daytona 116500 Insurance Value
How do people handle insurance coverage on their 116500 Daytona's. Since this is a watch that is not easily replaced at MSRP, do you insure at replacement value. My AD was willing to appraise at replacement value, but the annual premium is twice as much if I go that route.
