Blancpain Saint Valentin 2008 Women's Watch: Very Nicely Done
Women's watches usually aren't given that much attention by watch enthusiasts. They come in two basic varieties, miniature dolled up versions of men's watches, or some watch richly gilded with jewels. While these watches can be appreciated, they are hardly things rich in innovation or novel interest. Typically, much more time is spent on men's watches when it comes to new technology, avant-garde styling or new complications.Another reason women's watches tend to be less interesting is that they are often quartz movements. This makes sense as women tend to want watches with less hassle as they switch between several of them. In spite of this however, there are a good deal of mechanical women's watches out there, and this Blancpain is an excellent example. While Blancpain has much history, it is a re-emerging brand.

ROO 26470OR pink gold owners
Hi there, just wondering if any of you here own the 26470 in pink gold with the black alligator strap. I have been toying with the idea of possibly getting this watch. How does it feel, how versatile is it? What pros or cons there are to owning this watch. I havent come accross any members with this model. It would not be a daily watch for me as I have other Rolex or Panerai in my rotation. Thanks gents.

Transocean...?
does anyone have any pics they can share?saw it in Watch Time and it looks pretty good....

To buy or not to buy on eBay?
I absolutely in love with the Silver Snoopy limited edition. (I imagine a lot of people share that emotion.) I've tried to reserve one in may, but I was told that I'm way to late to the party... :(Now that the watch is actually out there may (hopefully) be a chance of them showing up on eBay every now or then. And it seems to be that unfortunately that might be the only option if I really wanted one... In fact there are some right now, but the asking prices are totally crazy. But setting aside the price question for the moment, would you consider buying one on eBay? Or is that playing russian roulette with a whole lot of money? What kind of precautions (if any) could one take to avoid fakes and other scams? (Especially considering that I'm located in Switzerland, so any of the watches being offered in my neighbourhood is rather slim...)
