Photo Report: Watch Spotting At Pitti Uomo
In the middle of SIHH, there was a different platform for watches (and men's fashion) – the Pitti Uomo. The Pitti Uomo takes place bi-annually in Florence and is one of the largest men's fashion events in the world. It also happens to be a fantastic place for street style, people and watch spotting. Here are some of the highlights from the Pitti Uomo that took place January 13th through the 16th. 1 OF 15 Rolex Submariner Reference 16610 in Stainless Steel 2 OF 15 Vintage Omega DeVille 3 OF 15 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Reference 14790 Stainless Steel 4 OF 15 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Reference 5402 Stainless Steel 5 OF 15Vintage Omega6 OF 15Omega Speedmaster The Dark Side of the Moon 7 OF 15 Rolex GMT Master II Reference 16710 with Pepsi Bezel 8 OF 15 Omega Seamaster, James Bond Edition 9 OF 15 Rolex Submariner Reference 16610 10 OF 15 Rolex GMT Master Reference 16700

PO8500 rubber strap source.
Been to my local AD and they've quoted almost ��400 for a deployment clasp and the new rubber strap for a planet ocean 8500. Does anyone know of any better sources for these straps and deployment clasp in the U.K.? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fake or real ?
I own a Seamaster Professional Chronograph and in a moment of spare time had a look on ebay to see how much they were going for.I'm seeing 2 types of dial : my seamaster which doesn't have a double dash at the top of it (image 1) and others which do (image 2).The image on the omega website doesn't have the double dash : .omegawatches/collecti...-5-mm/22258000I googled around for pictures and have noticed there seems to be a somewhat even split between those which do have a double-dash at the top and those which don't.I even found some dealers online which are selling watches with the double dash e.g..watchgallery.au/Watch...h-Titaniu.aspxJust for interest : are the ones with the double dashes fake ? Or is there an alternative dial style to the UK where I live ?

Price Comparison of Pateks in Asia
Hi, I will be traveling through Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. I was wondering if anyone has input on where I can get the best deals out of these 3 countries. I will be visiting their capitals. Thanks!Sorry for another ignorant question but for these countries are they duty free and tax free? If they aren't tax free is there a tax refund system such as VAT refund in Europe. Thanks so much! I have never been to these places before. Would I be able to get them to budge on the sticker price by any chance?

Insurance in The Netherlands
Hi Folks, any recommendations for specialist insurance for jewellery in The Netherlands that covers you in the home and travelling in Europe against the usual damage and theft? The usual household companies are no good as they are for normal household and a few specified high value items. I have general household insurance, I need a specialist jewellery only insurance. The Dutch Association of Insurers gave me a list of all its members, but it's beyond me to go through all these telephoning them as most are just for general household insurance.
