De Bethune DBS Digital: A Calendar Watch For The New Year
I finally decided that I wanted to write about a calendar watch for New Year's day, but I didn't know what watch to talk about. Calendar watches come in thousands of forms, and have been around practically since the time clocks have been around. There are a few highly complex calendar watches that actually do indicate the year, but none of those suited my tastes at this time.

rolex tattoo
why dont Rolex insist that purchasers of new watches have to get the serial number of the watch tattooed somewhere discreet?this would stop people flipping them.
