Fr��d��rique Constant Manufacture Tourbillon Grand Feu
Fr��d��rique Constant has long been known for producing quality timepieces at reasonable prices. Now the brand is stepping into the big leagues with a limited edition tourbillon with a technically-advanced manufacture movement and a grand feu enamel dial in a rose gold case, priced at less than you might think. Find complete specs, wallpaper and pricing inside. Enameling is an ancient technique where finely powdered colored glass is applied to a metal plate. The metal plate with the glass powder is then baked in an oven hot enough to melt the glass. This enameling process produces a beautiful deep, shiny surface. Only few of the plates will survive the 900+ degree Celsius fire and produce an even surface. The slightest imperfection in the mixed powder or the supporting metal plate, or even a speck of dust will ruin the dial. That’s why today, genuine enamel dials are made by only a handful of companies.Beneath the finely-crafted dial lies the Caliber FC-980 one-minute tourbillon. B

AP RG Novelty or Rolex YG DDII
I am thinking about changing up my collection a little bit and the piece in question is my DDII ... While I love the way it feels and looks, I have been thinking of changing the dial for a while now. Which brings me to the consideration of a RG Novelty... My minimal hesitation is the rubber strap but I saw a leather band option at the AP boutique. Perhaps the ROC in RG?My question is does this trade make sense? I have always wanted a DDII and was fortunate enough to source it after a long wait. I just wish the dial would be more 'intricate' like in AP's. Another variable is to get the RG SkyDweller on bracelet when it comes our later this year. Would appreciate any insight. Am I crazy to consider this?Borrowed pics

Happy St. Patrick's Day Incoming!
Hey all, just wanted to share my recent story. I've always been into vintage watches and the stories behind them - who did the watch belong to? Where did they buy it, and why? Was it to celebrate something, or to use as a tool? For this reason I've really been attracted to vintage watches with lots of history.Well, last week I was in Colombia on my honeymoon and my wife bought me a wedding gift down there that I'm just crazy about. I'm not usually a modern watch fan but when we went to look, this watch just fit. The more I wear it the more I realize how perfect it is for me. Size is spot on - it has everything I need and nothing I don't. Plus, green is my favorite color... I love the playful orange pips and how it doesn't take itself too seriously. It reminds me of Michaelangelo, who everybody knows was the best ninja turtle by far. Plus, it's functional - my vintage pieces are great but it's nice to have something with working lume that I know is just built like a tank.One day I can h
