Magrette Limited Edition Kupe's Voyage Watch Giveaway
Being a brand new owner of this exact watch, I can say this this is a giveaway worth entering. Magrette is New Zealand's only watch maker and certainly does the nation proud. I will be presenting a full review of the Magrette Kupe's Voyage watch, but until then you can enter to win one yourself. Founder Dion McAsey is what I call a "master of presentation." He knows how to give you a special warm feeling when you not only see the watch, but in how you experience the theme and story of the timepiece, as well as the actual presentation box and packaging. The giveaway is for the very last of the 10 limited edition watches.The Kupe's Voyage watch is part of a limited edition of just 10 watches - this is ultra exclusive, and you can be the proud owner just by entering. The watch is based on the base Magrette Regattare watch, but with the beautiful engraved bezel. What I love about Magrette watches is their use of Auckland area craftspeople to give the watch a special character not found in

Bulova BaselWorld 2015 Highlights
Bulova is celebrating their 140th year in continuous business this year, and they are introducing some new lines to celebrate. They are also moving their corporate headquarters back to New York in the Empire State Building, which is neat if you ask me. Bulova of course has an incredible history, and to honor that history they are borrowing a little from their illustrious past. Some of the new offerings that debuted at Basel are pretty cool, but some miss the mark a bit as far as truly honoring their past goes. Bulova will be using their proprietary Ultra High Frequency (UHF) quartz movement in most of their watches for 2015. While I'm not a fan of quartz, these are really interesting. The Bulova-made movement uses a three pronged quartz crystal that vibrates at 262 kHz, eight times that of a standard quartz movement. This give increased accuracy (to within a few seconds per year), and allows for a continuous sweeping hand. The highlights of the 2015 introductions are the Sea King

My custom 2254.50 arrived for Christmas 2007 looking like this:

5205R, with Deployant Clasp
I'm thinking to get a 5205R-010 (Black dial in Rose Gold). But this watch comes only with a prong buckle. Can it be fitted with an original PP deployant clasp in rose gold? How much would the retailer charge for this rose-gold deployant clasp?Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Selecting A First (and possibly only) Rolex Sports Watch
Hi All!Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself as a new member of this amazing forum! I have always had an affinity for watches and all things manufactured and/or engineered. I have just started to become, what I consider to be, a serious watch collector and would love to have your opinions on which Rolex sports model you all would suggest for me. I work in real estate development so I am constantly shifting between rigorous work environments and more gentile settings (think architects offices, bank meetings, etc). I currently have a Speedmaster Professional on a leather strap as my daily wearer and wanted to add something to alternate with when the mood strikes me. I love my Speedmaster but a little bit of variety is more than welcome and I have come to really appreciate the Rolex brand!I have plotted out what I feel will be my future collection, I think its important to consider the entire context of the collection to answer the question I have posed:Daily Wear: - Speedmaste
