Temption CGK205 Watch
Temption is one of my favorite boutique German watch brands, and will release this new version of their CGK collection soon. The CGK205 is the follow up to the CGK204 (based on the CGK203 - which I reviewed here). The collection houses a decorated Swiss ETA Valjoux 7751 automatic movement (a 7750 with an annual calendar, moon phase, and synced 24 hour hand), and lays out the dial info really nicely. For the CGK205 Temption refines the design a bit and ads a new metal bracelet option. I think it looks stellar.While the CGK205 doesn't offer a lot new, these are limited production watches from a boutique brand that is hard to get. For me the design is a fantastic mixture between form and function - but not everyone will have the same sense of taste. What I think the watch does well is take the design of the CGK203 and mix it with the CGK204 is a more conservative and classic manner. For me this watch is more exciting than the CGK204 because it updates the design but includes what I loved

Gaining eBay Trust: Positive Feedback To Positive Results
Buying on eBay is always an attractive option until you are faced with a questionable seller (or buyer for that matter). The item looks good, but it might be too good to be true, or you want to make sure you are getting your money's worth. Face it, there is an extent of caveat emptor (buyer beware) on eBay, but you can easily reduce your chances of ever having an unmanageable experience buy using feedback on eBay to your advantage.For the uninitiated, eBay allows users to score each other with feedback ratings. You either had a good or bad transaction with someone, and more recently you can give people sub-ratings based on more specific factors. In addition to your "positive" or "negative" feedback, you have a little of room to discuss or explain a situation. This is where you will do your more harm, or cause the most damage. Feedback is more or less permanent, and is very difficult to alter or remove. Giving feedback should be done with care, and after you have had a full opportunity

Seamaster Aqua Terra Chrono Beijing 2008 price
Hi fellas, this is a long shot but I'm hoping the knowledgeable Omega WIS here can help me with some information. While browsing at an AD a few days ago, I spied a brand new Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronograph, Beijing Olympics limited edition sitting in a display case.Lovely watch - black dial with three silver subdials, apparently 2008 made to commemorate the Beijing Olympics.I can't seem to find a price for this watch since it's 6 years old. I didn't enquire at the AD (yes I know I should have asked but I was in a rush and the staff were busy).Any help would be much appreciated.Cheers

Xmas present
No Omegas for me this Xmas, but did pick up a nice 36mm Railmaster for mum...

5711R or 5726/1A-001 Stainless Steel
Hi Guys, Fairly recent comer to the world of Haute Horlogerie and Patek.Managed to finally get 5167 (thanks DavidSW) but bug had well and truly bitten me. While I love the 5167 (and it gets most of my wrist time against Hulk and Panerai) I really want to add Nautilus to my collection. As you are all well aware, the chance of buying new or pre-owned 5711 at a reasonable price for a newcomer are next to nill. So I've been searching high and low for a new nautilus.While AD hasn't confirmed it yet, I should be able to get my hands on either 5711 in rose gold (on a bracelet) or 5726 in SS on a bracelet.Both will be new stock. The plan is to keep 5167 and add the new Nautilus to my daily rotation. (desk driver duties).Now to the question: which Nautilus 5711R or 5726/1A would make for a better daily watch? Would 5711R be too much as a daily? Is it just a special occasion watch?Would 5726 be more suitable as a daily? Ideally I would love to own both of these pieces, but bank balance only al
