Vacheron Constantin Creates Unique Dove Watch for Only Watch
This piece embodies the famous M��tiers d'Art cultivated within Vacheron Constantin: engraver, enameler, gemsetter and guillocher worked together to create this unique watch, especially developed for Only Watch 2011. Inspired by the technique of repetitive tiling designs known as tessellation, this M��tiers d'Art �C Perspectives d'Art watch invites observers to explore a reality that plays with human perception.This watch combines several of the Manufacture's artistic crafts that vividly express the theme of perspective in order to accentuate the sense of depth, each according to its own technique. The gold, enameled and diamond-set dial adopts concepts such as geometry, symbolism and motion, subtly nesting and layering them in order to generate several levels of meaning and interpretation.This timepiece is inspired by a drawing by Maurits Cornelis Escher �C a Dutch engraver and graphic artist (1898-1972) whose work was based on a subtle play on architecture, perspective and space.

Superocean Abyss owners
If you own a Superocean Abyss (42) can you give me some advice please. I'm loving the look of this watch and really looking at buying a used model. I'm slightly worried about the rubber bezel insert and how it will age. Also, 2nd hand prices seem to be good value compared to original retail price, which suggests rapid depreciation. Is this model going to be a flop in the eyes of the watch world?

Dealer dropped new watch - OK to request a new one?
Rolex owner here and first time poster (I also attempted to post this note a few minutes ago but not sure it ever posted so apologies if this is a repeat). I really love the brand and have a keen appreciation for the sport models in particular after picking up a BLNR GMT a few years ago.I went to finalize purchase on a new Datejust for my wife yesterday from an AD. After purchase was complete, the dealer accidentally dropped the watch from about 4-5ft onto the store carpet as they were sizing it for my wife's wrist. I was taken aback as I've never dropped mine more than a few inches onto a bed after a long day of business travel.I inspected the watch and didn't find any large scratches, issues with the crown or sapphire, but was also a bit uncomfortable about the situation as both the person helping us and the store manager were hovering over me as I did so. Even though I know these watches are meant to be workhorses, and will inevitably develop marks and scratches over time, I was uns

Engraving
Does engraving the back of a Rolex void any warranties or have any impacts when needing service in the future?
