Maurice Lacroix is not targeted by Bulgari
With Bulgari focusing strongly on their new line of watches on the theme of serpent Serpenti, it gave me the opportunity to reflect on some of the other snake-themed watches which came out in recent years. I always enjoyed the artistic aspect of the Maurice Lacroix Divina watches limited edition temptation line (even though I was wondering comments which really bought their). They even used snakes in their ads well enough. Maurice Lacroix is not targeted by Bulgari, as the Italian brand has snake watches on the theme of how in the past.

Introducing: The 2015 Tudor Fastrider Black Shield
Tudor has just introduced the latest version of its Fastrider Chronograph, which is a part of its ongoing partnership with Ducati. The newest version of the Fastrider Chronograph Black Shield breaks somewhat with earlier incarnations of the Fastrider in offering a matte black treatment of the ceramic case and bezel, and was inspired by Ducati's new XDiavel, which has been described as "a cruiser with the spirit of a superbike." The partnership between Ducati and Tudor began in 2011. 1 OF 4 Ducati XDiavel, 1262 cc V-twin, belt drive, 156 bhp, new for 2015. 2 OF 4 As with previous Fastrider Black Shield models, the big technical asset being sent into the field here is the ceramic case (the original Fastriders were steel).

Tudor will offer the watch at $4,925 (both rubber or leather strap) by special order f

Help identify a nautilus
Hello, today i was shopping and stopped at an watch store and they are an AD for patek and other brands, anyways they had a preowned SS date nautilus and they referred to it as vintage...Sorry i didnt take any pics as i didnt feel comfortable doing that. I just need help figuring out what reference it could be. I didnt think to ask them and to be honest i dont know if they would know anyways. Here is my issue, i do not know if it is a 3800 or a 5800/1a. Here is why, it does not have a clear case back (so not a 5800/1a) but it did not have the old school folding clasp of the 3800. So what could it be?It had a solid caseback of a 3800 and the clasp was the hidden style/deployment of the 5800 1a. Pics attached... I should also point out it was not a 42mm, it was either 36 or 38mmThis place is an AD of patek so i am not worried it is a fake and they said it was sent to patek for a service.Any idea what reference it could be? I attached pictures of what i am talking about (generic pics from

First Rolex - Insurance?
Finally pulled the trigger and couldn't be happier with my new DJ 126333 w/ silver dial. It's exactly what I wanted for a M-F watch.I'm curious how many folks got insurance on their watches? i.e. homeowners add-on insurance for jewelry. Or strongly recommended?
