Frederic Jouvenot Automatic Chronograph Evolution Watch: Rotor On Front
Precious little is known (to me) about then new Frederic Jouvenot watches. I would know a bit more if I was able to properly read French, and because all the press information is in a PDFgood luck trying to get me to put all that into the Google Translate tool. Good thing that a picture is worth a thousand words, because these images say a lot. The new watches will be released soon - in Basel if all goes according to plan. You can see that they are all based around the same theme and movement, but in these images there are at least two cosmetically different models. There is a distinct retro feeling from the watches. Watch maker Frederic Jouvenot is young at about 31 years old and wanted to create something new (as all young watch makers who branch-off from larger brand often do).

I've talked with a few AD's and have gotten 25%+ discounts on BNIB with serial numbers, warranty, etc. I know you can get a great discount on a gray market watch with a warranty through the store itself, but I don't want to go that route. Any advice by knowledgeable folks? Any places to recommend for A+ service?

SS Sky-Dweller Date Change
So I was lucky enough to purchase the SS Sky-D a few weeks back - not in my first choice of blue but gorgeous all the same (white).Now I'm not really a night owl but did find myself awake one night just before midnight and so decided to watch the date change ��within a few milliseconds of midnight' as per the Rolex website.Well I waited with baited breathe but as midnight passed I thought the watch must be set 12 hours out, and then some 40 seconds later, sure enough the date changed. I've replicated this Many times by adjusting the time to just before midnight but alas the date change has been between the said 40 secs and 2 minutes!Now this wasn't a major deal given that I am usually sound asleep at this time, however, I was somewhat bemused to see an Instagram post from our beloved manufacturer illustrating this remarkable feat at the stroke of midnight.I decided to give my AD a call regarding this and he said he would discuss with Rolex and get back to me.I received a call the follow
