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

AP app for Android
Has anyone tried this app? Could certainly use a little refinement, but it's pretty cool. Has some watch data and pics, news, videos (some are really great), and a Try it feature that superimposes an AP of your choice (limited selection) on your wrist!

Vintage geneva bracelet/strap
Hi I won an old Omega geneva 1030cal on eBay for a steal of a price. The watch runs perfect and case is in good shape.. the dial is showing signs of patina or something else.. I don't think it's water damage as the movement is exceptionally clean.However my biggest problem is the bracelet is absolutely battered. Is it too far gone for restoration? Any suggestions for a replacement. Are there any leather alternatives as the lug width is only about 9.5mm. This is my 1st omega watch.

I hope we all learned our lesson
Last night the forum was absolutely sure that there would be a coke gmt on jubilee.There were threads about people confirming the news because their AD told them.We had also heard countless times that there would never be a steel pepsi after the WG.Yet here we are.All the rumors, all the confidence behind some of those predictions.We just never know what Rolex is going to do.I'll give them credit though. For such a massive and well known company, they sure know how to keep things secret.

Post ocean swim clean up
Is there anything special that needs to be done to my GMT II after I have gone for a swim in the ocean? I saw a picture of a sub and the owner had removed the bezel to clean it after a swim in the ocean. I typically just rinse my watch under fresh water.
