Romain Gauthier Talks Watches: Video On New R. Gauthier Brand And Prestige Collection
Image courtesy of Gary Tok.Yes, another new watch brand. And yes, they are pretty lovely. It really amazes me that so many new luxury watch companies seem to come out of the woodwork, each with their own unique flair and style. R. Gauthier watches are in a class of simple yet elegant watches that are nice without trying too hard. The first line being the R. Gauthier Prestige collection. Various colors and case materials from steel to gold are available . The off center dial leaves room for a more artistic take on watch dial design with emphasis on classic elements like Roman numerals and textured dials. It is actually a refreshing departure from the aggressively "futuristic" look of many new watches that claim to be such feats of mechanics when they really are not. The R. Gauthier is unpretentious and appreciated.In the video, Romain Gauthier himself talks about his new brand - focusing on the design, the unique rear placed crown that can be wound while worn, the area where the watches

Apple Watch on the right wrist
Would anyone do that? I just can’t scrap the APs and use Apple Watch but the latter is becoming a necessity for sports and health tracking. Can I wear an AP on my left rest and an Apple Watch on the right one? Or would I look like a complete idiot?

Pan 00673
Hi all,Not seen much posted online about the Panerai 673 so thought I'd put a few pics of mine on for anyone who's interested.Basically a limited edition (1000pieces) based around the 372.Same 47mm case as the 372 but with a few alterations. Main differences as far as I can see are as follows - 'Marina Militare' on the dial as opposed to 'Luminor Panerai'different hands - slightly longer with 'pencil tips'altered P3000 movement with split bridge detailgorgeous 'Ponte Vecchio' calf leather strap that photos really don't do justice to! And that's about it really!Anyway, a few photos of the watch...RegardsMax

UK AD nonsense to be practiced in US.
Was at my AD today and placed a deposit on a GMT 2 tone that will be a gift for my uncle. After I give the deposit he tells me that since its a gift they will retain the warranty card until he confirmed receipt of said gift. I was shocked. He then shows me an email from rolex that says best practices since the rolex product is in auch high demand Rolex Authorized Jewelers must adopt Rolex's Best Practices 1) no warranty card to be left blank 2) all watches must be sold in store and stickers must be peeled at time of purchase. 3) if watch is a gift then warranty card will be retained till the gift is confirmed and then will be shipped to the recipient. I was in shock! Long story short, I have a very good relationship with my AD and he knows my family very well so he agreed to ship the card with the watch. Rolex is really starting to get out of hand.
