Rodeo Drive Festival Of Watches In Beverly Hills October 10-13, 2013
October 10-13, 2013 is the inaugural "Festival of Watches" event in Beverly Hills, California. Los Angeles has sorely needed a decent watch event and this is a good start. The Rodeo Drive Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with a range of watch boutiques will have some special events, open store hours, and watches during the festival period. The real night to enjoy the event however is October 10th starting in the late afternoon from about 6-9pm. Many of the boutiques will have special "open houses" that include everything from an exhibition of special timepieces, watchmakers, gifts, and probably a decent helping of complimentary drinks.The map above shows each of the boutiques that will be participating in the Festival of Watches. Stores include Westime, Porsche Design, Louis Vuitton, Rolex, Patek Philippe, The Tourbillon Store, Montblanc, Hublot, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and more. Even though the event will go from October 10-13, the 10th is probably the only evening with extended store h

No more AP jewelry
My friend brought this to my attention and it was confirmed this weekend at the NY boutique. AP is no longer making jewelry (i.e. rings, though not sure what else might be included). I believe they will still make their very nice but very expensive cufflinks. I'm glad I got my rings while they still made them, but it is a bit disappointing that they are discontinuing it.

Rubber strap options
Any recommended aftermarket ROO rubber strap companies? I would like to get a black and a white rubber strap for my Safari. Or would you recommend official AP? Thanks

Yes, Another Costco Rolex Sighting
Just for the benefit of locals who need that last minute stocking stuffer for spouse or daughter or granny, etc...At the Cumming, GA Costco. A little unusual as it's all SS (except for the bezel of course). Blank warranty and no stickers - so new but maybe was a display somewhere. Sent from my iPhoneX using Tapatalk
