Monochrome Monday: Introducing The Audemars Piguet Millenary Quadriennium
Audemars Piguet has improved the annual calendar so that it almost becomes a perpetual calendar. That might sound strange, but we'll explain. This new calendar is function makes its debut in the?Audemars Piguet Millenary Quadriennium. (The name is Latin for a quadrennium, which?is a four-year period.) The watch also features the famous AP escapement, making for an altogether interesting timepiece.The Audemars Piguet Millenary has always been a rather oddly shaped timepiece, often chosen by collectors who are drawn to the elegant, oval case, with its beautiful, alternating satin-brushed and polished finishing and stepped lugs. Millenary watches always features an off-center dial, which was probably most notable on the magnificent Millenary Star Wheel that we reviewed extensively on Monochrome Watches. The new Audemars Piguet Millenary Quadriennium has a large off-center dial for the hours, minutes, date, month and day of the week, along with a small subdial for the running seconds. 

Benarus Sea Snake Review
Benarus stands out from the pack of boutique tool dive watches with designs that tend to be more unique and perhaps divisive. A perfect example of this is the last watch of theirs we reviewed, the Megalodon 500. This dual crown diver has some of the most extreme looks of any watch we've looked at. Yet despite the shock value, was an awesome and memorable watch. More recently, we've actually reviewed their sister brand, Raven, whose Rolex inspired watches are fun, stylish and tough as nails. For an inside look at the brand, check out our interview with co-owner Steve Laughlin.Today we're going to look at a watch they've made for sometime, but comes and goes in terms of availability. The Sea Snake is a 500m tool watch with looks that are inspired by a classic, yet somewhat less discussed, dive watch, the Breitling SuperOcean. More known for their racing chronographs and pilot's watches, Breitling also made one of the most beautiful and unique dive watches in the 60's. The SuperOcean has

Strap options for BLNR
I just purchased my first Rolex. It's an awesome time piece and the one issue I have with it is the polished center links. I'm not terribly rough on my watches but I know it will get scratches. That being said, I think I want to look at replacing the bracelet for summer beach vacations/cruising. I'd imagine sand could do a number on the polish on those center links.I have looked into both RubberB and Everest. I am just curious I as to what other options people are going with. Any nato or zulus on your Batman?? And lastly, how difficult is the swap?? Any specific tools needed? My AD offered to do the swap for me but I would hate to continue bringining it their every couple of weeks throughout the summer. On a side note, he offered to polish the links once a year free of charge as well.
