Watch What-If: Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000
In this edition of watches-dealer's "Watch What-If," designer Niklas Bergenstjerna takes a look at the 2014 Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 dive watch (hands-on here), and imagines what it would be like for this icon-inspired diver to have been inspired by other natural frontiers. In a sense, the concept is "what if the Sea-Dweller 4000" was not a dive watch at all, but rather inspired by water, land, air, and space? Of course, at heart, the design of the Rolex Sea-Dweller is all about diving, so this is a mere artistic taste of what it might look like rendered as though it were inspired by something else.Above is what Bergenstjerna calls the "Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 Land," inspired by just that. In his words it is "a watch sprung from the deep woods. It has surfaces from the trees with earth tone colors. What about exploring the wild wearing a gold watch with a cork dial? Sure, why not!

Stowa Flieger Klassik Sport Review
When I think Stowa, my mind immediately jumps to the Flieger.

In the last couple of years, Stowa has slowly made some additions to its cataloge, introducing watches like the TO1 TESTAF, TO2, and the Flieger GMT with the intention of contemporizing both?the aesthetics and functionality of the flieger lines.This past summer Stowa quietly unveiled a new flieger collection dubbed the Flieger Klassik Sport. Where watches like the TO2 and TO1 marked a radical design departure for the brand, the Klassik Flieger Sport brought things back to basics. By keeping the overall look of the classic flieger, and pairing it with a more robust and sportier case, Stowa created a watch many of us have been waiting for.

A one less seen... PAM498
Have been in Vegas for the last few days and noticed that they had a PAM498 Fu 1950 case at Tesorini inside the Bellagio... Thought it was odd as I thought this watch was only available in the Asia market and would think it has been sold out for a while at only 1000 pieces. Anyways, was able to persuade my old man to finally join the Panerai family by acquiring this pretty unique piece. Goes well with him and his old Chinese ways lol. Here's a photo of this beauty,
