Apple Watch Hermes With New Straps & Dials
Apple has announced today one new luxury version of the Apple Watch known as the Apple Watch Hermes. This version of the Apple Watch comes in the polished steel case both with Hermes leather straps, as well as some special watch dials that match the Hermes aesthetic. There are a ton of Apple Watch Hermes options, and they are mostly priced just over the Apple Watch with the steel bracelet. Hermes lovers also get a series of strap choices as well as colors - and new Hermes-themed Apple Watch dials.Hermes, of course, produces their own watches, but they are also a known supplier of very good watch straps to a range of other brands, such as Parmigiani. Hermes leather is among the finest in the industry, with some people saying that it even beats leather from other luxury houses such as Louis Vuitton. The distinctive honey-colored Hermes leather many people are familiar with will now be a part of the Apple Watch family.The Hermes straps for the Apple Watch will be segmented into two versio

So, I am interested in the APROO 44MM
Guys help me out here. Already have an APROO Diver but really am interested in one of the 44MM models. I really like the flat pushers and wouldn't mind ceramic bezel to minimize the damages from desk dives.What are the pros and cons between the Steel, Forged Carbon, and Ceramic version?

Got my Ling serviced..
So, I sent my chronomat longitude in for it's first overhaul and refinishing..Set me back about 700 USD. Bear in mind that I sent my watch in probably two to three months ago. I barely wore it, maybe once a month, and now finally I'm wearing it every day at work (banker). However, since day one of getting it back the unidirectional bezel rotates both ways, is quite loose (not like when I bought it -- was tight), even sticking my hand in my pocket causes the bezel to move which is rather annoying. Before my overhaul and servicing with the watch fully wound, the charge would only last maybe 8-10 hours after storing the watch. Unfortunately the watch is still not holding a charge very long.. If I take the watch off and store it in its box Friday, the following Sunday I'm winding and resetting the time and date. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues. I was told for the money paid, all my concerns (which are aforementioned and then some) would be addressed. Seems like

Assembling an entire Omega SMP Cal 1128 (OFREI)
Hello all,I had been thinking about buying an entire parts set and find a reputable watchmaker to assemble a SMP with the Cal 1128 movement. I see a lot of this pre-owned model for sale on various watch boards for $1900-$2500. However, I thought that doing it this way gives me a basically brand new watch for less than $2K. OFREI has all the parts, btw.Doing it this way makes sense to me unless of course I come across a used one in great shape for under $2K. If anyone on here knows one for sale, pls PM me, I'd appreciate it.Has anyone done this before? (This model or other)Do you know/recommend a watchmaker that will be willing to assemble the watch?Any and all info/warning/good to know/don't do it+why would be much appreciated.Kind regards.-JD

My Rolex Submariner stop ticketing
I bought my Sub 2 years and 8 months ago. Recently, I realised the power reserve of my Sub seems to drop after putting it on a winder (I wear it only once a week). Yesterday, after winding for about 40 rounds and wearing it in the morning, it stops ticking at about 3 pm. I wind it again after this happened but the ticking continues to stop at short intervals after which I finally gave up and concluded that it needs to be sent to a service centre for check and repair.I did not expect my Sub to fail me as I have an Omega Speedmaster which I purchased 5 years ago which has never failed me for a single day as long as I am wearing it (I wear it 3 to 4 days a week).1. Is the problem due to the reason I did not service my Sub after the 2 years warranty period? When must I service my Rolex?2.Is this a common problem to Rolex watches or just an isolated case which happen to my Sub? I am starting to lose my confidence in a watch brand which has a history of robust and reliability and certainty i
