BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends October 10, 2014
To kick off October, I'm happy to say that our Editor-In-Chief has finally had the opportunity to handle and try out the Apple Watch for himself. And even though many things have?been said about it, you don't want to miss our extensive coverage of what is quite possibly one of the most eagerly anticipated products in the history of technology and horology.Apart from our comprehensive writeup of the Apple Watch, we also pay homage to A.

Hey Guys,With all the Speedys around on this forum I was interested in getting some ideas on what straps people are running on them, as I am about to break with my traditional and beloved Seamaster SMPs and pick up my first 3570 Speedy.I have nothing against the bracelets and will swap back occasionally but I do prefer straps. If anyone has some photos of their Speedys or ideas on straps please feel free to post away.Cheers

The Application Process
How does the application process work? Is there an essay you write describing why you believe you are worthy of keeping it for the next generation? Do you recount your watch-buying history? Describe the first time you saw a Nautilus and got weak in the knees?Or is it more general? Do you attach your engagement announcement as posted in the New York Times? Attach your school transcripts starting from prep school?I really don't know, although I am not sure if I will like the answer.
