Temption CM05 Watch
I have a really strong affinity to the small, independent German watch maker Temption. I have two of their watches, the CGK203 and the Cameo (click on those links for my reviews). Each year they try to release a new model, and I eager await what they have to share. Last year it was the beautiful Cameo, and this year is the CM05. While the Cameo was a totally new design for the brand, the CMO5 is more of an evolution on their classic look. Emphasis here is on build quality, and the simple design aesthetic that made the Cameo as popular as it was.Temption is proud that the CM05 is totally screwed together. There are no rivets, studs, or pressed points (though the sapphire crystal might be an exception). As such, you can see the screws in the caseback and all over the bracelet. The case itself is in high-grade steel and 42mm wide and 11mm tall (very wearable). The case is 100 meters water resistant as well. The sapphire crystal is 2.6mm thick and domed for strength (also AR coated on the
Any golf fans here??
So being a WIS and an avid golfer, I always enjoy seeing the different players and their watches on both the PGA/Euro tours. Recently I was watching coverage of one of the PGA tour events where Sir Nick Faldo was commentating. To my surprise however, Sir Nick was NOT wearing and AP! I tried hard to look closer and it appeared to be a blacked out Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (Dark Knight perhaps?) but I can't be sure. So I looked on AP's website and Sir Nick is not listed on there anymore as an ambassador! Anybody know the scoop here??
26470ST to 26470OR
I bought a 26470ST last summer and really like it a lot. I switch between the ROO and my Gold Rolex GMT2 as my daily watches.I just got the idea though to PX both the 26470ST and 116718 for a Gold 26470OR.Has anyone else made this switch, from the steel model to the gold model? Anything I should be aware of - much heavier, easier to damage, etc? Also anyone put their 26470OR on a rubber strap as I really like the convenience of rubber straps - is it easy to do?
Matching up my SMPc and Casio divers
Just purchased a Casio and was excited it shared so many similarities to my SMPc (red second hand, round/rectangular hour markers, brushed and polished case, rubber strap, water dwelling animal engraving, ect...) I have a collection of different straps for the SMPc and decided to get some for the Casio, too. Now I can have the desired look I want for those activities that are not appropriate for an expensive watch. Here's a few pics...1.jpg2.jpg3.jpg5.jpgFor those of you interested in the Casio, I wrote a review here....rolexforums/showthread.php?t=403470
Speedmaster 3510 vs 3570
I'm new to TRF and looking to purchase a speedmaster. There is a significant difference in the price of 3510 models and the 3570's. can anyone explain the major differences? I would also appreciate advice on which speedmaster model(s) would be the best investment given a modest budget.Cheers!
