SevenFriday V-Series Watch
So it has finally happened: SevenFriday have released a new collection �C or series, as they like to call them-with the?SevenFriday V-Series. It is the newest addition to the family that previously contained the P- and M-Series. While its forerunners were all 47mm soft-edged squares, the case shape of the V-Series is totally different. Two left side protrusions, housing a simple-but-smart FSC (Fast Strap Change) system, change the look of this watch entirely. In the same way Star Wars got creative with the shaping of their lettered craft, this watch kind of looks like a V that has toppled to its right and just decided to stay there.Aside from the obvious shift in silhouette, the SevenFriday V-Series features a round specially hardened and anti-reflective treated domed mineral glass and a more traditionally shaped dial. This design trait goes almost unmentioned in the press release. Not because it is a small change (I personally believe it to be seismic for the brand, and potentially des

Still in love with my RG 44... but...
I love my RG 44, it's probably my favourite watch, but I do wish it had the stunning golden coat of arms rotor. I had a closed ROC before so I've never had one and it's always been one of the nicest imho. I also bought a 5711 and not a 5712 so I don't have the micro-rotor either I do appreciate the cut outs in the galvanised rotor for better visible access and it is a pretty cool contrast to the case. Guess I'm just trying to stay away from splashing out on a Datograph.

Another Panerai newb.....First PAM incoming :)
Well, last night while roaming around the mall, my fiance and I decided to pop into Sidney Thomas to have a quick look and try on few PAMs. Next thing I know, we are being offered a gracious discount, when my amazing fiance whipped out her AMEX and bought me the watch. It's a PAM 590. The one I've been lusting over for some time now. This is my wedding present from my wife to be As you may imagine, I am beyond smitten and cannot wait for it to be on my wrist. It is currently enroute to our NY residence

Incoming: ceramic Daytona
As a follow up to my other thread regarding my (only) 8 month wait, i picked up my Daytona this morning. I could've had my choice of color when i ordered, but i wanted black - classic look and is a perfect partner to my Mitsukoshi Speedmaster.Such a beautiful piece. Hard to imagine anything else is my collection is going to be getting any wrist time in the near future...As for policies, procedures, etc. My dealer basically handed me the watch in the plastic shipping container - untouched by anyone, even them. I could have walked right out and they wouldn't have cared.However, I opened it up, took the stickers off and had them remove a link. They filled out the warranty card and activated it. No mention of any directive from Rolex to de-sticker, photocopy my ID and warranty card, etc. so ymmv on that.Here is it:

Looking to Insure my Rolex
I just switched Homeowners insurance. They do not cover jewelry. I have a 3 year old Submariner two tone and an eighteen caret gold bracelet worth $8k that needs insuring. My wife has 2 rings worth $5k each. I was recommended by some and discouraged by others with using Jewelers Mutual. Has anyone had or know of anyone that had good luck with claims from them or any other insurance company. I hope to never make a claim, but in the event that I need to, I would like to think that there will be no hassle. Jewelers Mutual and Chubb seem to be the big ones that pop up on the search engines.
