Andre Checa Designs Most Hideous Watch Case This Year
This is the ugliest watch case I think I have personally ever seen. What is so ironic is that the watch movement and dial itself are just fine, and totally mismatched with the watch case. This timepiece gets a "Fraggle Rock's Finest Award" for most cartoon rock formation style watch ever. What was Andre Checa thinking when he designed this watch? He was likely watching episodes of old Jim Henson Muppet television shows or movies. I get the watch, I just don't like it. This is another "home run" design from the radical French artist.You might remember the first quizzical creation of his that I discussed here (that he made as a piece unique for Romain Jerome).The watch movement is made by the very well-respected Christophe Claret - a maker of highly complex and beautiful watch movement. This timepiece (that I am not sure if it has a name) has a beautifully skeletonized movement, that has a tourbillon, and just the time as functions (Claret rarely makes movements this "simple").

Everyday AP?
I was thinking of a carbon diver? I have a rose rubber now but would love something to use instead of my Submariner - anyone have one of these?

Probably much more but how many? around 5-6000? Anyone know how many were made each year? In any case as much as I loved my Patek getting it back will be way easier than a CE diver, plus the prices might soar due to unavailability��.

Looking to Insure my Rolex
I just switched Homeowners insurance. They do not cover jewelry. I have a 3 year old Submariner two tone and an eighteen caret gold bracelet worth $8k that needs insuring. My wife has 2 rings worth $5k each. I was recommended by some and discouraged by others with using Jewelers Mutual. Has anyone had or know of anyone that had good luck with claims from them or any other insurance company. I hope to never make a claim, but in the event that I need to, I would like to think that there will be no hassle. Jewelers Mutual and Chubb seem to be the big ones that pop up on the search engines.
