Would You Propose Marriage with a Watch? If so, which?
Instead of going with the traditional route of giving a diamond ring as a gift during the proposal of marriage - why not give something that holds greater, deeper value? A watch is a creation that stands on its own. A ring, well Rings are symbolic of love but only through the excellence of marketing.A watch may not immediately equate to romantic love, but when you get beyond the case and the dial, you do see love. Watches represent years of design, manufacturing, experimentation, etc. And they capture time. Which, as you offer a proposal of marriage, is all you are thinking about. You know, the forever part.As a woman in my mid-twenties, who's been in a serious relationship for the better part of a decade, this is something that really interests me. Watches are my thing, so this would really impress me.But really - anything different - and unique - to her and you - should be what motivates and inspires you.

Awesome new Offshore - Incoming!
I just love these clocks and the best is the latest version in an Offshore design. Group photo with my RO and Diver versions. I have a couple of other ones but they aren't to hand at the moment.

AP Band Leather Strap -Received Defective Item?
Hi Everyone,I just received an AP Band Capolavoro Black Alligator Strap for my ROO, but it seems like the leather is defective? It's my first watch and also my first time purchasing leather straps so I'm not sure if that's just the nature of real leather/crocodile leather? It also looks very dry...I was really looking forward to putting these on and finally wearing my watch since the AP leather strap is on backorder and wouldn't be available for another 4 weeks...Should I contact AP Bands about it?

Tried on some Speedmaster and pleasantly surpirised
Afternoon All,I had a Daytona a while back but sold it as I never really got on with it very well. I found the dial a bit hard to read and just generally never really connected with it.I thought I was done with chronographs but I've been looking for something that I can wear on a strap and have been looking at Panerai but i've seen a lot of you guys wear your Speedmasters on bracelets as well as straps so thought i'd take a look and see what's what.All my other watches are Rolex and have been thinking about trying something new so thought I'd check out a few Omega's at my local AD as never really looked at the brand before.I tried on the Speedmaster Pro manual wind as well as the new Apollo 17 anniversary addition plus the relative new co-axial Speedmaster with the in house movement.The new Apollo 17 Speedmaster is bonkers! Totally illegible dial but does look kind of cool. Can't imagine they'll sell very many though.The new Co-Axial speedmaster I found a bit on the big and bulky side
