10 Things To Know About How Rolex Makes Watches
Rolex really isn't like any other watch brand. In fact, the privately held, independently run entity isn't like most other companies. I can say this now with a lot more clarity than most people because I was there. Rolex rarely allows anyone into its hallowed halls, but I was invited to visit their four manufacture locations in Switzerland and experience first-hand how Rolex makes their famous watches.Rolex is a universe of its own: respected; admired; valued; and known across the globe. Sometimes I sit back and think about all that Rolex is and does and find it hard to believe that at the end of the day, they just make watches. Rolex does just make watches and their timepieces have taken on a role beyond that of mere timekeeper. Having said that, the reason a "Rolex is a Rolex" is because they are good watches and tell pretty good time. It's taken me over a decade to fully appreciate the brand, and it will probably take longer before I learn everything I'd like to know about them.The

Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX 7 Watch
Jaeger-LeCoultre announces the seventh version of their Aston Martin automobile collaboration watches with the AMVOX 7 Chronograph. It marks eight years of working together with the auto maker on a watch which began with the kitschy idea of having a function that allows you to lock and unlock your Aston Martin car with a luxury watch.

The AMVOX collection has been one I am keenly aware of because if there is anything I like better than a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, it is a modern looking sport Jaeger-LeCoultre watch. I don't love all the AMVOX family timepieces, but the new 7 is certainly a good looker.There are a couple of really cool features on the JLC AMVOX 7 Chronograph watch. First is the chronograph which uses the crystal as the chronograph pushers. This feature was actually introduced in 2005, but I like it better in the AMVOX 7. Here is how it works.

How to get the Royal Oak book ...
... if you live in a country where there's no AP Boutique in? Of course I don't expect to get one free of charge. I've already sent an email to the Prague AP Boutique to buy one from them and ship it here (Hungary) -- but no response.

Aquanaut Face Options
Hey there,I'm new here so forgive me if this a silly question but I have done a bit a research and found no real answer either way.I love the shape of the Aquanaut 5167 but I can not stand the look of (non-date) numbers on a watch face.

I know many will just recommend a nautilus- I am not a big fan of the double eared look.Thanks for any help.
