Roger Dubuis Excalibur Automatic Skeleton Watch To Debut At SIHH 2015
What you see here is a look that for a while now has been?synonymous with Roger Dubuis: a large, round case with triple-lug design, a?notched bezel and -?the?party-piece - an excessively skeletonized movement that?makes?any and all dials completely redundant. Gears, wheels, springs, cams, bridges, jewels, and other structural elements of the movement are exposed as much as possible, in a vast effort to create some serious eye-candy for the watch enthusiast-the kind not turned off by an?arguably more flashy design.?Making its debut at SIHH 2015 is a new piece that carries on this tradition, with a different approach: the?Roger Dubuis Excalibur Automatic Skeleton, the first watch of this kind?that does away with the tourbillon and offers this?avant-garde?aesthetic without the tourbillon's hefty pricing premium.For years on end, the tourbillon has?in many ways been considered to be?one of the absolute pinnacles of fine watchmaking �C despite the fact that many master watchmakers I had the

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix Watches
This year Audemars Piguet is of the brands releasing a lot of new watches. The most visually exciting of which is this Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix watch collection. Each is in a limited edition, so these aren't permanent additions to the collection. There are three luxurious versions and I have for you the hands-on experience. Let's start with the basic options. Each has ceramic and lots of forged carbon, but I will get to that in a bit. You have a choice of complimenting it with titanium, 18k pink gold, or platinum. These come in a limited edition of 1750 pieces, 650 pieces, and 75 pieces, respectively. Clearly titanium is going to be the biggest and most affordable seller, and I will explain why.The "new" luxury watch doesn't need to be a giant paper weight. Sure it can be heavy as is typically valued, but lightness is in. Years of giant metal watches have consumers lashing back, not for smaller watches, but for ones that are lighter. After spending $50,000 on your new golden love,

Bosch season 3 Rolex
Just finished up season 3 and wondering what Rolex that Bosch is wearing. I keep thinking it's a Sub or a Seadweller but it has polished center links. Is it a GMT? Great show by the way.

Rolex on Rubber
When I got my Rolex I bought a rubber/silicon strap on eBay for a few bucks to see if I'd like the look. At the time I tried it and didn't like it at all so I stuck with the TT Jubilee bracelet until today when I tried the rubber again and this time I really like it. I think I'll keep it this way for a little while, maybe send my Jubilee off to the guy in Hong Kong to take care of the stretch. Here's how my 16713 looks on rubber. Please share pics of your Rolex on Rubber for comparison. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BLNR - Which model name do I go by?
Currently on my local ad's list for a BLNR and I know it'll be a wait for my first Rolex. That being said, in a few weeks I'll be on vacation visiting Paris, Switzerland and Italy and of course will be walking past at least 8 or 9 various Rolex dealers on my daily ventures.Although I know finding a BLNR is almost impossible to come across even in Europe, I'll at least pop in and inquire. Worth asking at least.What do most dealers go by in the way of a name for a BLNR. Is the universal name of a Batman model good enough or do I ask for a GMT-Master ll in blue and black? Is there a suggested name to go by? Thanks and yes, I know not to expect finding one just sitting there waiting for me!
