Piaget Polo Key Dive Watch Available On James List
A Piaget dive watch?! Oh yes, and here is the proof. Get ready to go underwater in your black bow tie. I was pretty amazed to discover this watch that was made in the mid 1990s. It is very difficult to find information on this watch by the way. I believe it is called the Piaget Polo Key, but it is Ref. 250020 no. GOA22036. I think it is pretty neat - but how primitive does the case look by today's standards? So would you wear a Piaget diver?The case is 38mm wide in 18k yellow gold with elements on the rotating diver's bezel in 18k white gold. That two-toning is rather cool. There is also the reserve version of the watch with a mostly 18k white gold with yellow gold accents. That other model seemed to have a vastly different dial - which makes it clear that this watch was the beginning of the Piaget Polo 45 of the modern era. Did they have CNCs machines for case making back then? Not sure...The black dialed version is my favorite. It has tasteful applied gold hour markers and dauphine h

Interview: Jean-Claude Biver Provides (Some) Details On TAG Heuer's Smart Watch Collaboration Wi
Warning: Serious name-dropping ahead. Don't judge.Baselworld is one of those places where stuff just happens. I was passing by the TAG Heuer booth when I was summoned into the back by Mr. Jean-Claude Biver, for an impromptu chat about TAG's recently-announced partnership with Google and Intel to make a smartwatch. We didn't have the chance to get too in-depth before Mr. F.P. Journe popped his head into the room to say hello, accompanied by mega-collector Claude Sfeir. Oh, and then half of the band KISS showed up and our conversation quickly derailed. Essentially it was like every great HODINKEE video* merging into one whacky 30-minute pow-wow. So while our chat was brief, it was somewhat illuminating, particularly regarding this master marketer's strategy with TAG's looming Google/Intel collab. And yes, that was me completely name-dropping in a not-so-shameless way. I hope you'll allow it just this once because it was one of those moments where I looked around t

What are my options I got rubber fever
I currently can't take off my AP diver! I wear the watch daily and love the rubber strap even more than the bracelet on my Royal Oak Chronograph 39mm. It got me thinking can I replace the bracelet on my ROC and put a rubber strap similar to my Diver on it even if its smaller due to the mm difference. What are my options because I love the ROC I just am hooked on the rubber strap from my diver it fits me like a glove. I would prefer to stay with the AP brand rubber band if possible. Thanks

How much sport is too much?
So far I didn't wear any watches worth mentioning, and I didn't give a thought about how to make them last. If they broke I just retired them.Now that I bought a Seamaster, and service costs around $400 I'd rather stay away from chopping wood.How much activity can a Seamaster take? Can I without problems do every kind of sport with it such as tennis and running, or should I rather get a dispensable watch for that?

Does anyone have this? Could you post some pictures? I think this is the one I want, but the only pictures I've seen online are of the face of the watch (amazon, alan furman). If you have this particular reference, do you like it? I like the markers better than the 2264.50, but how do the skeleton hands work for you?Thanks in advance- Chris
