Alain Silberstein Tourbillon Black Storm Watch Available On James List
Are you ready for a watch like this? Is anyone ever really ready for a watch like this? Among his many watches, Alain Silberstein offers some tourbillon models. Less popular today, a few years ago these iconoclastic tourbillon timepieces really offered something very different. Take this Black Storm model (ref. TS511) that combines his playful French design, an interesting tourbillon movement, and urban toned camouflage.The idea is really when you get to a watch like a tourbillon reason loses a lot of meaning. Art is what makes sense and here Alain Silberstein is having fun (like he always does). Not everyone is a fan of his aesthetic - that is OK. I believe design aesthetics such as his are meant to be polarizing. In the Black Storm watch is a manually wound tourbillon based movement that I believe are exclusive to his pieces. He doesn't make the movements, but no one else has them.The tourbillon is a flying tourbillon, and done in a manner that I find interesting. The lower part of t

Outgoing and incoming
Hi guys - recently I began to question my CK2998. It really hasn't been getting any wrist time. Is a shame as I loved it, but I realised the reason was that it just didn't go with everything that I wore, to the extent it was lucky if it got 1 day a week. I'm also fairly traditional at heart, and if I'm honest am more comfortable with darker colours for watches (just me I'm afraid).That said, I wanted to keep a speedy in the stable and preferred the case shape and size to the pro. So decided to try a FOIS on and bingo. Just what I am looking for. The case I like along with the alpha hands and other touches. Love the brown strap also and the good news is my bracelet purchased for the CK fits. It's as if it's the bits of both the pro and CK that I liked merged in one.Flipping watches is never a particularly profitable business, but I got a good deal on the FOIS and am pleased to have it. Obligatory wrist pic below!Cheers, steveSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5227 as only watch?
Hey guys. I’m looking for a new watch, and first Patek. Currently have a Rolex. But iv’e really fallen in love with the 5227. Could this watch hold up for being a daily “beater”/only watch? I know I will need a new strap now and then. But is the movement delicate? And how often will it need service? I will wear it everyday and have it ingraved for my 2 year old son. :) (hold it for the next generation )Thanks guys!

rolex is growing on me
I always had a dislike for rolex. I thought of it as a flashy/snobby/overpriced watch. I had my sights on other watches like omega, panerai, and zenith. The entire time however i always wanted a submariner. I had a love for dive watches and the sub seemed to be the best dive watch for the money. I said it would be my first and only rolex I would buy. 4 months ago I started my search and was in the market for a submariner. Although on my quest I fell in love with the Daytona. Not realizing the market I thought I could just walk into an AD and buy one for msrp. Boy was I wrong. So back in september I pulled the trigger and bought my first rolex a submariner. Now I have a new found love for rolex . I went from telling myself I would never buy a rolex besides the sub ND to planning my next rolex purchase. Now my list stands at 3 watches I want:Submariner (Sept '17)Daytona-C Black SS (???)GMT Master 116710BLNR (???)when will this bug stop? On a positive note, watch for an inco

Daytona 16523 DLC
Hi all, long time lurker-Great forum.I wanted to get your opinion on DLC Rolexes, is it worth the hassle if price is a bit lower than market value? I understand RSC will not be touching it ever again.I'm eyeing a U series watch only 16523 that had been DLC treated. Not much scratches, good condition. Is it possible to reverse the DLC treatment or remove the coating?Thanks.
