aBlogtoRead.com Mentioned On DeepGlamour.net
I was flattered by this article on DeepGlamour.net. The article mentioned me a few times and included a few quotes. Randall at DeepGlamour.net had an idea to comment on the effect that watches have on people and their image aside from style. I chose this image of Alexander the Great to sum up his sentiments on what certain watches are all about. The theme was discussing the concepts of "Status, Power, and Conquest" in relation to watches. You can read the article here, and I think you'll appreciate the gist of what he has to say. I feel honored that people either read my articles and get inspired or get inspired and stumble upon my articles. Although not the same era, here is a Roman inspired watch by Italian watch maker Zannetti watches. This model is called the Gladiatore Imperio. A cool looking Roman style decorate watch with the term "Vedi Vidi Vici" etched inside of the bezel. See the article at DeepGlamour.net here.Top image via The Johnson Galleries.

AP or PP?
Hi,I flipped my Hulk (last rolex I had), as Rolex stopped singing to me, to fund another AP. I'm missing a blue dialed watch. Had my eyes set on the Navy ROO, Blue ROC and the new blue Diver. I already have the Panda ROO and the 41mm Openworked. Ruled out the blue ROC as it was too similar with the RO I have. Now for the ROO's, the Navy ROO can be had for $19K BNIB, which is a great price. The blue chrono diver, however, is $25K. Not sure if I can justify the difference here.I was all set, until that day I started to look around at Patek 5711. That watch is a beauty. Now it can be had for $28K BNIB.I understand the above are totally different watches, but all I want is a blue dial watch and I'm open to all 3 options. I'm a huge AP fan but I think maybe it's time to get a PP? What do fellow AP fans think?

PO or Sub?
Dear I say...PO any day. What a fantastic watch. In fact the PO is the new Sub!How about that?

5980/1a blue dial
Has any one seen a new one of these at any AD's in the US? Thought I'd throw the question out there before I start the search.

Anyone visit the Turks and Caicos AD: Jai's?
I'm in Turks and Caicos with the wife for a little vacation, and noticed there is an AD here by the name of Jai's. Will likely make it over there later this week, but curious if anyone here has visited them before and how their selection was.
