Close-Up: Cartier Calibre de Cartier Diver
Of all the watches that debuted at last year’s SIHH watch fair in Geneva, perhaps the one I least expected was a dive watch from Cartier. And it turned out to be one of the coolest new watches in recent years. In this article from my blog, Watch-Insider, I give you the scoop on Cartier’s foray into the world of “real” sports watches.The Cartier Calibre de Cartier Diver is an unmistakably masculine watch for both everyday wear and extreme conditions; it meets the challenge of combining the classical Cartier style with the technical requirements necessary to be considered a true divers’ watch under the international standard ISO 6425. To meet this standard, the watch must meet eight criteria for reliability and pass a series of extremely rigorous tests.Cartier Calibre de Cartier Diver in steel (above) and rose gold (below)For those who are unfamiliar with the ISO standard, these are the main criteria:Unidirectional turning bezelTo prevent any accidental rota

An advice please,
Tomorrow I go to vacation in Mauritius.I want to take with me only one watch and I have to choose btw AP ROC 26331 blue dial or Ulysse Nardin EL TORO blue?I can't decide.......

Just meshing around
It came in!! My mesh bracelet arrived today. Man, it seemed almost as big as the rubber strap, had to remove three links to fit.I thought the rubber strap had a great fit, but the mesh bracelet is unreal. It just molds to your wrist.Some quicky shots,Pardon the peeling hand, a residual for our recent trip to Hawaii.OK,...not bracelet related, but the lume on this one is just fantastic.

New Deepsea or SD43...
Now that the 126660 has the bracelet from the 126600 I'm curious which people prefer...

Longest Period without Servicing
What's the longest time your Rolex has gone without servicing?I have a Datejust that has been my daily wearer for the last 10 years. It hasn't yet been serviced and still keeps great time.I'm leaning toward the notion if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
