Temption Watches Gets A New Pad; 1980s Style With Wine While You Wait
Klaus Ulbrich of Temption watches in Germany is moving on up, Stuttgart Style. This lovely little watch maker's new villa could be right out of Santa Monica, CA circa 1987. New digs for Temption likely mean more employees, higher production, and more watches, all good things from a company that consistently keeps providing up good looking, quality watches at prices which don't make me balk, given what you get. Lets take a little tour of the new space where you can go see their in-house show room, and view watch makers hard at work on the wonderful watches.The outside of the manufacture look like a California day spa (maybe gym, or perhaps real estate office) from the late eighties. Visitors will be happy to know that satellite TV is standard, either for the watch makers or for your viewing pleasure while Klaus himself polishes your new Temption watch to a glowing finish. Pinkish stucco and lots of glass complete the theme of "high-end, high quality German watch" right? Curiously enough

a Pre-Owned incoming! and its rosy!
Well, the obsession with AP is never ending. I told myself after the orange ceramic diver in december no more!...lo and behold, two more incomings since. and now...a THIRD for the year. (I have issues, clearly )well, I am waiting on my 2014 grail to arrive sometime in late July or early August from AP's NY boutique (thanks to my buddy Texex91 who did some SERIOUS enabling), BUT, in the meantime this is something to hold me over...It's an H serial and it was a daily wearer for my friend who I purchased it from so it definitely shows some wear but for me that's a good thing. I tend to baby watches that are new and flawless too much. (it was too good a deal to pass up anyways). LOVE how well it wears with casual clothing. You can't go wrong with it!

Fellow Canadian Help?
Apparently it is impossible to locate AP's in Canada, with the closest dealer 900km away, and only stocking ONE Offshore watch.So I'm putting it out there if there is a fellow Albertan in the forums who can help and has a AP ROO RG, Rubberclad, Safari or Navy to let me buy you a coffee and fondle your timepiece (I'll bring mine too!)I am dead set on an AP to round of the collection but wont pull a 20-30k trigger without trying it on first. Who knew it would be easier to buy a PP rather than an AP up here.I envy Americans with dealers readily availble! lol

Little help here...
This is my dads Omega from way back when.....can anyone tell me about this..year, value?Thanks all
