Vacheron Constantin Creates Special Quai de l��Ile to Benefit Charity
Following the Only Watch 2009 auction, Vacheron Constantin announced that it is creating a special series of 100 numbered Quai de l'Ile timepieces that will enable the company to donate an additional SFr.100,000 to the Monaco Association against Muscular Dystrophy.

Thoughts on sport watches with leather bands?
Hi All, So I am considering the Nautilus Collection. I am wondering what the community thinks about sport watches on leather bands that cant really be exposed to water or sport induced sweat?Especially for a watch named 'Nautilus' and that is rated to 120m, but cant get wet. This may be a form function type question. I am not sure how I feel yet, I am on the fence. On one hand I see the inspiration of sport watch into a dressier on-leather watch; there is a market for it, so why not make them. On the other hand, I wonder if PP considered a band of a waterproof material such as what Blancpain did on their 50 fathoms. How does everyone feel about sport and water-oriented watches on leather?Thanks for chiming in!

Last Rolex Service
Today I serviced my own watch, which is 11 years old. It was way over due! It felt bittersweet though, since it was the last watch I have serviced. I'm leaving the watch world behind... It's been a great 16 years working on mainly Rolex movements. I'll miss is greatly. I appreciate all of you folks who've trusted me with your time pieces. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk
