Invicta Pro Diver Wood Watch
I am not always a fan of Invicta watches, but with the number of pieces they release, there are bound to be some cool ones. Lately I have been fascinated with watches that have wood in them. Some watches are all wood, while others use the material for the dial, or other elements of the watch. Invicta has taken wood and used it in their Pro Diver watch, for the "Pro Diver Wood" watch. You can see that wood is used as the center link in the bracelet, as well as for the dial.The wood used is actually teak - a popular wood when it comes to water resistance. Well, I have feeling it is highly treated though. The links in the bracelet are capped in steel to reduce wear. While the dial isn't the epitome of clarity, it is considered "unbusy" by Invicta standards. In all steel, the case is 48mm wide, and actually have a really attractive looking rotating diver's bezel.Going? back to the bracelet, you'll notice the use of what looks like tons of screws to hold it together. Feels like Invicta want

Watch Protection Tactics
I witnessed a funny situation while walking the other day. 2 guys walking the opposite directions towards each other and their watches smashed into each other's. They didn't even bother looking at the watches after the incident happened. It made me thinking; I actually am fully aware of my surroundings and I'm actively scanning the area for any possible threats to my beloved AP watches' well being. I learned it the hard way when some dude accidentally hit my Panda (no, not the animal) while in the elevator causing a scratch on the bezel. Elevators are the only place where I get that close to strangers. And I'm not particularly a fan of such situations, unless the person(s) in there posses qualities prized by a superficial man, if you know what I mean I cannot be the only one? How do you make sure your AP watch stays flawless?

Patek 5711 for the new Daytona?
Should I trade my Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 for the new Rolex Daytona? I don't seem to wear my Patek much but I am afraid I may miss it. I am just wondering which piece is more sought after ?

Patek 24 SS for the wifey
Thinking about buying the wifey a Patek 24 for this Christmas. Interested to get others views on this watch...the only small reservations I have are that its a quartz (albeit my wife likes quartz more than automatics) and the fact that it looks very similar in design to a cartier tank for women (which my wife already has one)Opinions welcomed...
