Dear Mike (kilyung) & Ross (rosspanics) - Outgoing!
I hate you guys! The Royal Oak books are with FedEx on it's way to you! I know I could have e-mailed you guys but here is the reason for my post. While at the AP boutique I had one goal and that was to pick up 3 books and leave! Due to my weakness for horology and the lovely Manuela enticing me by commenting on my Yacht-Master I was tricked into trying on two pieces of which I almost purchased one on the spot! Looks like my short list has been modified and one of these will have to be added soon! Damn you guys! My 1655 dreams are slowly fading away!

Smart Watches
Curious about thoughts on some of the new smart watch announcementsBreitling has a new offering and it looks like Tag is bringing one to market tooI own a Pebble and after 3 months of isn't this cool it has found its way back to the box

Some help pls
Hi there im new to these forums and im looking for some info,While clearing out my grandads house after his passing i found a omega watch which he was given when he sold his company to his partners when he retired, I noticed the strap is broken and a little ball to lock the strap in is missing, My main problem is the watch was lose in his jewelry box and ive searched high and low for some kind of document or box to go with it but to was unable to find one so im includeing these pictures. Hopefully someone can tell me if its real or not and if so where the best place to get it fixed would be if not then i just get any strap but if real id like to keep it orig rather than changeing parts, Also could someone let me know what watch it actually is, Ive seen ref to panda face 20th july limited so im confused !:)

The value of an Omega
Does Omega keep its value like Rolex, Vacheron, AP do? I have heard and read many articles stating that they do, but I wanted to know what the experts in TRF have to say about it.

Yet another trip to the AD
Just returned from an AD in Norfolk, VA. I was looking for the YM 40 with the Rhodium dial. Did not have one at any of their 12 locations. I really didnt think this watch was on the Oh My God cant find one list. I was told that while the Ceramic Daytonas are still at the top of the cant get one list in addition to the Batmans and Hulks and so forth the YM is now very hard to get and there are waiting lists. Anyone heard of this?FYI they did have a lot of SS DJs (all sizes) a couple of Milgause and a few Explorers in stock. I tried on the RG YM on the oysterflex. VERY nice!!
