But if you are an affluent watch lover in the greater New York City area, you might instead think, "that's where I live." Normally you would not expect to find a high end watch store in a quiet town of 62 thousand. But as a des

Stallone Wears Carl F. Bucherer Patravi TravelTec Watch
Here is some shameless "Stallonage." Sly dons a Carl F. Bucherer Patravi TravelTec GMT watch during the European premier of the Expendables II movie (in Germany I think). I must admit that I am really looking forward to seeing the film - especially because Arnold will be more prominently featured in it. Hopefully he will get some battle damage to show his metallic?Schwarzenegger innards.Sylvester hasn't had the easiest last few months as his son Sage Stallone died of what I believe was a drug overdose in LA. That's got to be rough as I understand Stallone was a good dad to a kid that couldn't quite standup on his own two feet. It can't be easy living in Rambo Balboa's shadow.Stallone is well-known for being a serious collector of things from watches to belt buckles. He loves his gadgets and as an icon has helped make a lot of watches popular. Most notable of course was his role in getting Panerai watches popular among his peers in Hollywood. He was also one of the leaders in the "large

The Final Piece of the Puzzle
This essentially completes my Collection. I won't want to say again this is my last watch because I end up always eating my own words and there is always another new last watch. Anyway, here's my #10 watch. Should be a no-brainer to guess what it is.

A Question of Quality
Hi,I've not really been into watches until the last year or so and have recently been looking at other brands outside of Rolex.Not to buy, as I cannot afford one. It took me 4 years to save up for a Rolex Sub. So it's just out of interest and to know more about other brands/models etcI have a lot of respect for AP and like the way the majority of them look. But there is one thing I don't understand and that is why are they so expensive?To be straight, I have never held one in real life. But on just about every picture I have ever seen, they look nowehre near as well finished as a Rolex. The main part being the face, the face always looks 'cheap'. There are some that are over 10,000 Euro and look great. But they look to have the build and finish of an average 500 Euro Tissot or something.What am I missing? Educate me please :)p.s. The nicest watch I have ever seen and love is one of the AP Grande Complications! So I am in no way an 'AP hater' or something.

I hope we all learned our lesson
Last night the forum was absolutely sure that there would be a coke gmt on jubilee.There were threads about people confirming the news because their AD told them.We had also heard countless times that there would never be a steel pepsi after the WG.Yet here we are.All the rumors, all the confidence behind some of those predictions.We just never know what Rolex is going to do.I'll give them credit though. For such a massive and well known company, they sure know how to keep things secret.
