A Brief History Of Ladies' Complicated Watches: Old Technology, New Innovations
“Is that a moon-phase?”After the sold-out New York City premiere of David Armstrong’s documentary The Watchmaker’s Apprentice, a group of watch enthusiasts gathered at Distilled in TriBeCa. A fellow collector grabbed my wrist. She turned it around to look at the dial of my watch.“I thought you were wearing a moon-phase,” she said.I was not. It was a 1949 Bulova Walton, with a small seconds subsidiary dial at 6 o’clock, easily mistaken for a moon-phase in the low light of the bar. But her assumption that it was a moon-phase only proves how familiar ladies' complicated watches are becoming. We’re in the age of the smartwatch.

Ploprof on Rubber or Steel
Hi Everybody.I am still in shock and amazement from yesterdays visit to my local AD to pick up my Deville Chronoscope. black/white dial on a black leather deployment strap. After the transaction was complete, the manager who I know very well started talking about the Ploprof he would like to own. As I was not overly sure about this one, a bit big I thought !. Anyway I asked if he would show me the one he had in the window which had a black dial on black Rubber.As soon as I held this beauty I was in love. It is a truely magnificent watch, everything about it is so well made and thought out. The work that has gone into the clasp alone leaves many manufacturers back in the dark ages. The dial seems to radiate inwards to the centre of the dial. The solid construction and safety features like automatic helium escape Valve, The Crown guard protected system and the bezel release button are beautiful made and work so solidly. I am going to purchase this watch next, that goes without saying,

Oysterflex on Daytona C.....love it!
Just put my new a Oysterflex on my 116500 today. Took a while to get the correct fitting combo.....but worth the wait. Thanks to Takuya (Thanh Do) for getting me the correct straps and his patience....also, Chadridv for his helpful tips. I have 7” wrists so the combo that worked for me is E-E & E-G with a minor adjustment at the clasp.
