Damasko DA36 Review
Value is a big part of the discussion here on worn&wound. Often, it's enough to say that a reasonably priced watch with decent specs and a pleasing design presents a significant value. But for some companies, value doesn't mean offering just the bare minimum. For these brands, the desire to go above and beyond the fundamentals is what separates them from the pack, and if it can be done without charging the exorbitant prices one has come to expect from the watch industry, then that's just icing on the cake. If there is any company that has come to embody this ethos in totality, it's Damasko.Based out of Regensburg, Germany, Damasko first entered the market in 1994 with a desire to do something new and different.

26400 vs 26401?
I tried searching for this topic, but couldn't find anything on it, so I apologize in advance if this has been covered previously. I'm new to the AP world and been perusing some of the models, and I noticed the 44mm rose gold model comes in 26400RO and 26401RO. Does any one know the difference between the two?Thanks!Eric

One of the items inside was this Omega DeVille from the 60s or 70s:20140531_193956.jpgAt the time, I had just become interested in mechanical watches, so I naturally wound it up.

An absolutely magical moment for me.20140531_193726.jpgSince then I've added many nicer watches to my collection, but I always come back to this one being my favorite. I can't think of anything better than a meaningful timepiece to pass to my own son, and he to his.20140531_193655.jpg

Anyone know exactly when Omega will be announcing their 2013 lineup?
I recently called the Omega boutique in Chicago and I really did not get an answer from the sales person as to when Omega will announce their 2013 lineup. I am hoping for a 45mm PO black titanium but I am not going to hold my breath at the same time. Any insight would be super helpful. Thanks!

The $11,250.00 BLNR...
Are these people serious? Will there truly be someone desperate enough or out of their minds that will folk out over $2,000 over retail to get their hands on this? I guess it could happen. Just yesterday, I heard on one of the U.S. news channels where someone paid over $1,000 for an extra long Haines plain white t-shirt being sold on e-Bay.
