JC de Castelbajac Lego Watch Collection
Honestly, what can I really say about these watches that isn't clear from what you see. Designer Lego style digital timepieces from French designer JC de Castelbajac (JC DC). It is actually part of his whole future Lego wear lineup. You can see the Lego version of it in the video, and images from the real runway show below. Odd? Sure. Provocative? Maybe. "No darling, leave the Lego baseball cap on in bed, I like it that way." Weird stuff, but it is cool. The JC DC Lego watches comes in a number of colors - six versions to be exact. See them being worn all at the same time all Nicolas Hayek style.The style is 80s, very 80s - but apparently that is in right now. He seems to suggest that the future will be like the 80s. Given what is going on in the world right now, I could use some of that "America is the best place in the world" mentality these days. With the popularity of Lego as well as the positive association many people have with them, I have to say that JC DC did a nice job making

Buying A Watch Online: Why Internet Shopping For Watches Is Safe and Stress Free
Buying a watch is about three things. How much you like the watch by itself, how good the watch looks on your wrist, and the price. Without friendly accord among these three factors, you are never going to feel fully comfortable in buying a watch. Buying a watch on the internet can appeal to at least two of these considerations. You'll know what a watch looks like, and you'll know you are usually getting a good price, but how can you ever tell that the watch looks good on your wrist? This is a real concern, but watch stores online usually have you covered.Like myself, you may have a "new watch ritual." The tender unboxing of the watch, fitting the watch to your wrist (especially if the bracelet requires removing links), and thenposing time. Yes, that time in each watch lover's life where we strike watch wearing poses in front of the mirror. Probably akin to what women do while spending far too long in dressing rooms at department stores, we stand in our bedrooms or bathrooms gauging (o

Incoming! First Royal Oak!
...unfortunately, not a Royal Oak for myself! When I first met my gf (back in 2007/8), I noticed she only had a Swatch, and wanted to get her a more 'proper' watch, so to speak. No better way than to start it off with a Seiko...Two years ago, for her birthday, I bought her something which made her really happy!But earlier this week, I think this one put a really, really, really big smile on her face Now, I'd been looking for a Lady Royal Oak for the longest time ever, and finally found one from a AD in the US. Unfortunately, the watch had some imperfections and I requested it be sent back to AP for some rectification. After a two month wait, I finally heard that AP didn't have the necessary parts, and the AD was not able to provide me with an estimate timeline when I would be able to finally purchase the watch.This one is a quartz, and an interim one, but I can tell she's happy nevertheless. Now, it is time for me to start saving up for a 15300...

Flipping a Patek for a Lange and....
I never thought I'd sell my 5205G. But looking back over the last two years I've been wearing it less and less, perhaps less than any other dress watch. It's undoubtedly a beautiful watch but maybe it's elegance and the shape of the case pushes me off. I intended to keep it anyways and maybe in the winter time I'd find myself wearing it more often as I think it suits darker clothing better than light summer styles. So while I've been waiting for the PT Datograph to arrive I just tried on the Grand Lange 1 in WG black dial and am really smitten. I didn't expect to like the black dial but pictures really don't do the watch justice. It just sparkles in the light, it almost feels like there is no sapphire on the case. It has a the Lange 1 casual elegance which I really dig. Just feels right on the wrist which I didn't feel with the 5205. So I'm able to flip my 5205G for the Lange and as added extra a Pam 372 or 424 too. Am I being too impulsive and should I give the 5205 some mor

Incoming!!! (actually double..)
Hello all :)Before the pics, a little bit of background:I was looking for adding a third watch to my humble collection which is (was) a 114060 and a BLNR.For the third watch, I was considering either a bluesy or a daytona, staying in the safe rolex territory.I had absolutely no other brand in mind, I liked APs but the ROOs look way too big on my 6.25 wrist and the Jumbo is too expensive for a watch I would wear occasionally.Anyway, I went to try on watches at the department store, tried on few watches and then, on my way out... I saw the Panerai store.I didn't even know there was a Panerai store in my area.I had some spare time that day and I was just curious because I never got the chance to take a look at one before, so I went in.The salesman was very kind and asked me if I wanted to try few watches on.Before I knew it, I was sitting at the table and trying on a PAM 112.And then, WOW!, that watch actually looks nice!!!I always thought Panerai's would look ridiculous on my thin wrist,
