Cartier Calibre Diver Watch
Ready to dive in style? If you had to ask me what Cartier watch I'd want it would probably be something in the Calibre collection. If you had to ask me what Cartier watch I'd want and budget was not an issue, it would probably be the Calibre de Cartier Astrotourbillon. A few years ago in 2010 when the Calibre collection was released, it was to be the brand's new flagship men's model in a round case that also featured the brand's new in-house movement (the caliber 1904MC). While not without its quirks, I enjoyed it right away and the collection became a success.The original Calibre (reviewed here) was followed up with the Calibre Chronograph from 2013, and for 2014 Cartier will release the Calibre Diver. Here I was expecting the Calibre GMT for 2014 and instead I am surprised with a diver. I am not complaining. Watch lovers like me go gaga for divers and each luxury brand should have one. The idea of a luxury diver is less about actually diving, and more about the idea that you can comb

5164a Owners
Any 5164a owners here? Am considering one, and wondering what the general thoughts are about this watch. It will be my first Aquanaut (have had a YG 2526 and 5980/1a) in the past.

when you notice a piece has been discontinued...
Hi guys. I've been questioning the implications when a piece is being discontinued. Will it more valuable in the future? Is it better to wait for their successor? Having a diacontinued model makes service cowta higher? I am obviously talking about new in box and papers if you happen to stumble upon them and not pre owned. Two references that come to mind, and have forced me ask this question are the 5960p and the 5980 1a. What do you feel when you like a reference and suddenly find out its being discontinued?Thoughts? Thank you guys.

Best of both worlds - the SD4K
It has the great bracelet and Glidelock as well as the non-maxi case and lugs. It has the ceramic bezel, the matte dial, and the non-cyclops date. It's been a long time since this SD4K has seen the light of day (it was hibernating at the bank), and boy did I miss it. The LVc will be splitting time again.

Warranty Policy: NYC vs Dallas
So trying to make a long story short I purchased a Oyster Perpetual about a year ago from a great seller here on TRF with warranty card included, though obviously with someone else's name on it.The watch doesn't wind anymore just simply starts turning the minute and hour hands so obviously a mechanical problem. No fault of the seller's nor myself.I took the watch to the NYC Service Center and they said the warranty was not valid because my name was not on the warranty card and I would need a bill of sale from the person who's name was on the card from the purchase at the AD.I then called them today (without saying I had been there day before obviously) with a hypothetical of having been gifted the watch and having everything for the watch other than the bill of sale and they said it would not be covered under warranty unless I had a letter from the person who's name is on the warranty card. So basically the same BS.Finally just to see if the stories I read on TRF were true I called the
