HourTime Show Watch Podcast Episode 159: After Vegas
With John having just left us for Iceland, David and Ariel discuss being in Las Vegas for the 2014 Couture Watch and Jewelry Show and JCK, as well as the other brands we saw in town. There was a lot to laugh about, including humorous haute horology defects and marketing debacles.In the HourTime Show Watch Podcast Episode 159, we discuss brands we visited and watches we saw at the shows, including a lot of TAG Heuer, specifically the Carrera CH 80 (hands-on here), Ulysse Nardin and their Stranger Music Box Watch, among others, and Bulova pieces, including their Accutron II watch (hands-on)...Las Vegas has apparently had the effect of making both David and Ariel want to bling themselves out with diamond-covered watches.

The new complication has been coined the "Winding Efficiency Indicator" by Urwerk.

Quick question... Rolex as gift
Hey folks,First time posting in the Rolex section so forgive me for any noob questions. I'm looking to buy three rolexes for my brothers and I as a gift. It'll be either the GMT- Master II or Submariner Date (all in steel - although I might get the steel/yellow gold for myself). A few questions:Are these usually sold at discount?
