Would You Propose Marriage with a Watch? If so, which?
Instead of going with the traditional route of giving a diamond ring as a gift during the proposal of marriage - why not give something that holds greater, deeper value? A watch is a creation that stands on its own. A ring, well Rings are symbolic of love but only through the excellence of marketing.A watch may not immediately equate to romantic love, but when you get beyond the case and the dial, you do see love.

Collection is Growing: New Tudor
Well, I finally took the plunge on my very first diver this past week. After daily wearing my trusty DJII for the past two years or so, I decided it was time to add something new to the collection. The DJII is a great all-around watch. It's suitable for almost any occasion, wearing well with anything from jeans to a suit. It will always be one of my favorite pieces in my collection, being my very first acquisition (not to mention that beautiful blue sunburst dial).
