219 Kukulkan Watch
Three Swiss guys were drunk one night after partying and they came up with this watch model and brand idea. I am not making that up, that is what the press release clearly says. Their combined intoxicated intelligence seemed to agree that it was their personal mission in life to realize the first ever high-end watch borne out of pre-Columbian Latin American culture.The trio drew influence from things they had seen in Mexico and chose to focus on ancient Mayan culture. Of the most provocative elements of ancient Mayan culture is their calendar and view of how the world began (and will end). All that was just too cool for the bored young men so they decided to make the watch in honor of Kukulkan - the feathered snake (guy) of Mayan lore.A pyramid in now Mexico is built to honor Kukulkan. There are engraved statues of his image there. An image that is replicated on the Kulkulkan watch on the dial and the back in high relief. The "219" name of the brand refers to some Mayan calendar numera

I was over at the Barclays this week watching the PGA. Audemars Piguet was the sponsor. These stand-ups were all over the place. Wanted to share with TRF. Enjoy.

Pretty bummed about a vintage Omega
Folks,So my father recently gave me a circa 1950's Omega that has been handed down from my grandfather to my pops and now to me. It's a pretty cool watch, plastic domed crystal, stick hour markers, no date and a nicely patina'd dial that is a yellowish gold hue. The case is stainless but does not have any markings of the model. So I have no idea what it actually is? Unfortunately it isn't running so I took it to my favorite AD where I buy most of my watches and asked them to take a look.I get a call today and the watchmaker gave me some unfortunate news, aparentely the balance is pretty much out of commission and the movement needs some work. Long story short, they quoted me a $700 dollar estimate to fix it as it needs some parts and labor. They also informed me maybe I can find a movement and swap it out. Once I get the watch back I can post some pictures to get some thoughts on it. I should have it back Friday.Just thought I would share my disappointment.
