Italian Tendence Round Gulliver Watches: Budget N.O.A
You have got to see the advertising that Tendence No Limits watches produce. One of the video's below is an advertisement, while the other video shows a type of marketing that Italian Tendence engages in. That being a location in the virtual world Second Life. They aren't the first company to have virtual real estate in Second Life as Hublot did it first a while back. The idea is that you have a branded area in a the virtual world that people can explore and get interested in the brand. Avatars can buy virtual watches to wear, but more importantly, it is branding for real world sales. I can't say how successful it is, but I like the idea.Well on to the watches. For now I am talking about a single line of models, the Round Gulliver watches from Tendence. I take it Gulliver refers to the term meaning "head." So the round head watch it is. There are actually many versions (over 20), and I am just displaying a few. Their online catalog is pretty comprehensive (and you can buy many of the m

Just got my AP 15300 back from service!

Broke My Explorer II :(
I was changing the date on my 5 digit ExII to catch it up with the short month, Plus I haven't worn it for about a week. To change the date, you advance the hour hand around twice independently. It will click from hour to hour. Then, I noticed it was no longer clicking, but merely spinning around the dial. It's still changes the date, but it is no longer running with the time. I wonder how expensive this will be?

Rolex - keep cutting supply of sports models please!! (What say you?)
Is any one else happy that Rolex has cut supply on sports models? Or in the alternative, if given the choice between unlimited supply of sports models and what's most probably manufactured scarcity, is anyone else happy about the scarcity?I actually like that Rolex is forward-thinking in order to keep value in the brand. I like that they're taking (what they feel to be) affirmative steps to ensure value retention in an uncertain mechanical watch future landscape. If they didn't do that, I'd imagine that it would be easy to be blindsided. Don't believe me, go back thirty years and tell Sears and Kmart and Blockbuster that they wouldn't be on top in their respective industries. We hear a lot from the people who are salty because they can't find a Daytona or a 116610lv or a blnr. They're perpetually on the cusp of leaving the brand for Omega or Iwc. But I think that there are folks that think that Rolex' strategy is a good one. Any thoughts from that camp?
