Duesenberg Circular & Rectangular Art Deco Watches
Good thing it is a German speaker (Swiss German) who revived the Duesenberg name! The brand with the same name as the classic car that almost epitomized F. Scott Fitzgerald era art deco cars has two new models that will come out in 2011. The watches are the Duesenberg Rectangular and Duesenberg Circular. Can you guess which is one is each!? The design really does feel as though it hails from the roaring 1920's. Why is it that the past always seem to be have been better than it actually was?

Thinking of trading Daytona on AP ROO
I've been looking at the ROO, and thinking I would wear it a lot more than my 116509 (I'm deathly afraid of scratching up the gold).I'm also thinking the 44mm size would be a more casual size and in SS is something that I could wear daily (I work in a tech company - think shorts & t-shirts.)What would you guys do?
