Victorinox Swiss Army Alpnach Black Ice Chronograph Watch
This is the newest watch from Victorinox Swiss Army, but I am not sure I recognize it as a Swiss Army watch. Over the last few years Swiss Army watches have been changing a lot. Not only in style, but also in terms of the types of watches they are offering. I mostly think of them as offering really nice quartz watches that are a great value for $300 -$500 bucks. But this Alpnach Black Ice Chronograph is a mechanical watch for close to 2,000 Euros. Does it make sense?The trend at the brand has been "mechanical mechanical!" for a good set of years now. I don't mind more mechanical offerings from Swiss Army, but I sure hope that doesn't mean they are fully abandoning their quartz watch base. Good news comes from pieces like the "new" Swiss Army Original watch that offer a strong look and Swiss quartz movement for an entry level price of around $300.

We all know the Bond switch was paid for by Omega but are all these others paid for as well or does this happen to be the Actors watch?

The Bruce Wlliis
Called an AD today looking for stock and pricing on a YM Rhodium. Sad part is no stock, and no discount.Apparently it's a very hard watch to get. I can get you a blue one anytime, but the rhodium not so much On another note, he mentioned that they call it the Bruce Willis. He came into the shop and liked it and bought 3. One for himself, his assistant, and the director. Still took Bruce Willis 3 months to get them. I guess I don't have as much clout as Bruce Willis. Do you think it will catch on?
