Dzmitry Samal Watches In Concrete
Urban dwellers looking for an interesting new timepiece design may very well be taken by this fresh collection from Dzmitry Samal. The former car designer now has a line of timepieces and eye wear. His unique designs mirror dual influences from big city life and pop art culture. Each of these aesthetics is richly represented in the new watch collection which have the very first timepieces I have seen with actual concrete cases.According to Dzmitry Samal, the cases involve a patented new process with specially machined and polished concrete. Dzmitry Samal intentionally chose this "megalopolis inspired" material given its ubiquitous presence in city life. The concrete cases come in two forms and are cut into interesting shapes. The inner watch cases are in steel. Both cases are 42mm wide and attached to them are rubber straps.While Dzmitry Samal is French, the watches are said to be Swiss made. He does not claim that concrete is inherently a luxury material. He does however feel that the

Incoming......or not!
My friendly AD delivered me a Novelty Rose Gold which I wasn't quite ready for as I have had a few other incomings recently. I have owned one before (albeit not the newer 26401 version), and of course it is a fabulous watch. Still all stickered up etc..Should I keep it or sell it? Anyone want it if the latter?

Have I learnt anything? Opinions please
Morning folks,Having had a lucky escape, thanks to the forum and its members, I'm looking for a PO, I don't want to buy new as I want it for my daily wearer for work, I'm sure some will understand that if I buy new ill be worrying about knocking it about too much whereas a used one already with a few marks in my mind stops me worrying about that. I have a GMT that My wife bought me (new)a few years ago that I wear most of the time, scratches I don't mind but wearing at work I prefer not, anyway, to the point........having spent a few hours doing comparisons with my photos of the fake and genuine have I learnt anything.....I hope so....this pics is taken from the net and I would say is genuine....am I right????After 30 years in the waiting.......GMT IIc

Automatic time
Ok, so I need to know from you experts what kind of time an automatic watch is supposed to keep to be considered state of the art. I've had cheap $10 quartz watches that kept perfect time and all banged up but worked fine for years. I bought a rolex in 2005 and was thinking that the time it would keep would be perfect but it was off by more than a minute every few days. I then bought the Longines Hydroconquest which keeps time within a few seconds every day and then the most recent Omega purchase which is off a few seconds every day as well. I think over the years and then after reviewing this website that these pricey watches although very nice arent able to keep better time than a cheap quartz which kind of leaves me wondering if these purchases were a little bit foolish in the sense of timekeeping anyway. I look forward to more educated comments on this subject.

Strap Recommendation
I'll soon be the proud owner of a 2255.80 and I'll be looking to get a brown strap to go with it. Does anyone have a recommendation for a strap that fits and looks good with the blue dial? I think I'll want one that's a bit darker, maybe a mahogany shade. Thanks in advance.
