Swatch Services Your Watch For Free August 16-25th 2013
The Swatch Doctor is in soonWhen it comes to buying a watch (be it mechanical or quartz), required maintenance is likely the furthest thing from your mind. Sure, you might know that you need send it in for service in three years, or that your battery will need to be replaced in five. As watch lovers we definitely haven't had anything like the car companies offer, though, with routine maintenance rolled into the purchase price. But coming up soon from August 16 to August 25, 2013 you can go into any of the many U.S. Swatch store boutiques and get a free battery change and watch 'check up'(store locator here).The service will include looking the watch over, swapping the battery (if it's needed), and other nice touches like adjusting the strap or taking care of any buffing the case may need. Oh, and the best part of this? It's completely free, and you don't need to bring along any proof of purchase or anything - just show up with your Swatch watch and get some TLC.I've not experienced any

Bell & Ross BR01-93 GMT AND BR01-92 Gold Ingot Watches: So opposite, So The Same
Both of these watches are Bell & Rosses, and both are BR01 watches. Though they are like twins separated at birth. One went the path of luxury while the other spent their years in a discipline rich military environment. I like that two personalities can come from the same type of origin, and both are useful watches in their own respect. The first watch is a new one, but it was announced a while back. it is the Bell & Ross BR01-93 GMT. Previous to this, only the BR03 watch had a GMT model, and it was a bit smaller than the BR01.The BR01-93 GMT is currently one of my favorite watches in the BR01 lineup. It looks good, is easy to read, and simply feels fun. I use the terms fun a lot these days when discussing watch. What I mean is a design that embellishes on its theme in a charming and polished manner. For example, the GMT hand didn't need to be made as big, or in orange, but it was, and it works well that way. There is something almost cartoonish about it, and that to me, is fun

Going back and forth
I'm leaning towards making my first AP purchase and thought I was ready to pull the trigger on a white dial AP ROC, but then I saw this and loved it, but can't find a model number of any info on AP website. Would appreciate any help I could get from you guys on model information. Thanks!

To Flip or not to Flip!?! That is the Question!
I am having the serious itch to flip....and it's been going on for awhile.....but i need your help and expertise to weigh out all the pros and cons, as I have never flipped any of my watches ever.I have a 116610LN (SUB-SS/C)...and the watch that has caught my eye is a Panerai 389. Both are about the same age, in virtually the same condition....the offer I have on hand is the Panerai 389 for the SS/SubC + 700 dollars from my end. I'm wondering if this is a good and a fair deal? I feel like my judgement might be clouded by the itch to flip. My thoughts are that the PAM 389 will hold it's value a lot less over the long run, a sub is always a classic, however, I have the 116713LN, 116613LB and the 116520 and will hopefully be getting the 116550 (new daytona)...so I am a bit Rolex heavy. Additionally I also have a Chopard GMT Mille Miglia and the Chopard LUC Sport 2000, I dont want to flip any of the Chopards. Absolutely adore them.I love the ceramic bezel on the PAM 389, it's also a dive w

Did everyone notice that Tudor now has the fabric strap as a separate model?
Not included anymore? But a cheaper version.
