Review: Stowa Seatime Prodiver
The Stowa Seatime Prodiver is a watch that lives up to its name. True to its brand lineage, the Prodiver hits all the marks for quality that you'd expect from a watch produced by an 85 year old company. It also has the capability to withstand far more than your average dive enthusiast can throw at it.? But does all this history and sport prowess make for a watch worth owning?

Hands-On: With The Bell & Ross WWI Monopusher Chronograph Heritage (Live Pics & Pricing)
Bell & Ross might be best known for its square, instrument-inspired watches, but there is a lot more to the brand than just that. Most interesting to HODINKEE are the Vintage WWI and WWII collections, which take styling cues from the early twentieth century but utilize them in ways that will appeal to the modern watch buyer. We first showed you the WWI Monopusher Chronograph Heritage when it debuted last year, but this week we spent some time around New York City with a pair of these vintage chronos and here is is a more in-depth look at this lesser-known Bell & Ross. 2 OF 13 Curved Wire Lugs The Bell & Ross WWI collection is defined by a handful of vintage-inspired details. First off are the angled wire lugs, which are really crucial for comfort with the WWI Monopusher. The case here is thick, at 15mm, though it looks and feels even thicker at first because of the relative simplicity of the watch. I'll admit I was a little scared when I first picked

Royal Oak - Future models in 41mm
Hi Guys,As many of you know the Royal Oak is available in a larger 41mm size. I have been considering the chrono in RG for a while, but I find the perpetual calendar more practical. The 39mm size looks to small on me, which leaves me with a few questions please:Has the 39mm been discountinued?Will the perpetual calendar and other models be coming out in 41mm? Any news on when?Thanks!

Would you trade a 5711 for a 5980?
I am thinking about trading a 5711 towards a 5980. I like the depth of the 5980 but I like the classic feel of the 5711. The ideal choice would be to have both, but I would only like to have one nautilus. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Rolex uk seem to have introduced even more rules......
Rolex are doing what they can.... But it stings I got a call today from UK Rolex AD I've dealt with numerous times. My name had come up for consideration for a white dial Daytona 116500ln - and so it was passed to rolex to consider for an allocationApparently this is the way rolex UK want it to be done now, what with 7 year waiting lists in place for some models in some stores!!! And I suppose to cut the supply to the secondary market.... I suppose it seems like a reasonable idea... Right?Well, I'd I'm say not to totally happy with this new process actually!!!!The upshot of having got to the point of being considered was to be told infact that rolex said I couldn't have one!!!!The reason - was that last year I purchased a black dial Daytona, (from a completely different AD), and allegedly ; it is new policy to help with waiting lists, that only one may be purchasedThis is true, and my AD didn't know.... So rolex had indeed passed on this information from their investigation of
