The Jaquet Droz Only Watch ’09
The Jaquet Droz Only Watch ’09, a unique Grande Seconde, combines a Grand Feu enamelled dial created using an 18th century technique with a case made of 21st century high tech ceramic. This unique timepiece proudly displays a rare red dial – red being the color of Monaco, the home of Only Watch. Creating the red dial required all the know-how of the most skilled craftsmen. An ivory colored enamel dial needs about ten layers to achieve the right color, and each layer must be fired at 800��. Black requires 15 layers and 15 firings, and blue 19. Red needs 22 layers. Each layer requires a new firing, and each firing creates the risk of breakage, bubbling, or both.Manuel Emch, CEO of Jaquet Droz, says it took the company 6 years to find a way to stabilize the red dial. “It is the first time we have created a completely red enameled dial and, given the complexity, it is probably the last, says Mr. Emch with a smile.Only Watch is an auction held every two years in Monaco.

AARRRRGGG! Frustrated with Omega service!
I am about ready to fly to NY and get my Omega back from the service center. I sent my SMP in because it kept starting and stopping. It's under warranty so I brought it into my AD and they mailed it in the first week of Dec. 2007.They called me two weeks later to tell me the watch was magnetized. How that happened I can't figure out.They informed me they are covering this under warranty and giving it a complete service while it is there, free. Great I thought as it's about $500 to have an SMP chrono serviced. I was told they are closed the week between XMas and New Years but I should expect my watch back by the second week of Jan.2008. No prblem, Great I tell them.I didn't hear from them and I called Jan. 22nd. I was told the watch was in Quality control and I should be getting it back in 7-10 days. OK, fine.Another two weeks go by..Nada. I wait and call them back Feb. 15. I am getting pissed by now. I get a call back saying they are really sorry but part of my free service I never ask

RG Incoming..^^*
Finally made the decision to bring the 5711/1R home...Pics do not do it justice but the transformation that takes place with different lighting on this dial is amazing!!

Finally Incoming after 4 1/2 Months
I am so excited as I just got the call from my AD that my brand new BLNR has finally arrived! I had put a 20% deposit back in November 2017, so it was a long wait. I was also a little worried with what was introduced at Basel last month and from all the rumors on this site and others, that this piece was discontinued, not available, sold to somene else, etc. Anyhow, worries are now over. Now it's just planning to make the short trip to Ottawa to get my prize. Decided to spend my money there instead of Montreal, as the main AD in Montreal just rubs me the wrong way. I am planning to pick it up in the next couple of weeks so I will post pictures then. Cheers!

Rolex BLNR on RubberB
Well after receiving the strap last week, and the burgeon tool, I managed to change the rubber strap on my Tudor Pelogas, as that is what i brought it with, too the bracelet, was a little tricky, but then found that the bracelet needed sizing.So a visit to my Ad was in order, Now as it was a little tricky for me, I decided to take the BLNR and strap with me to the dealer to see if they would change it for me.After doing the tudor, I asked if they would mind doing the BLNR for me, No of course not, will be a couple of minutes.Came out a happy chappy, feels good, now do I get one for the SubLVc?? with green stripe..HHHmmmmmDid try on the BB Blue while I was there....nice.
