Vulcain Aviator Cricket Alarm Watch
The Vulcain Aviator Cricket alarm watch is a variant?of last year's Vulcain Aviator Instrument that boasted a chronograph?but lacked the alarm function. It's a pretty significant feature?for most watches, but for Vulcain, the alarm complication is more than just an additional function: it is the foundation of the brand's longevity.Vulcain was founded way back in 1858 and has been in continuous production ever since. The brand is recognized for having created the alarm function for wristwatches, which earned them favor with former United States president Harry S. Truman, who wore one of their watches and helped inspire the brand's reputation as "the watch for presidents" �C one of the few other brands who pursue that reputation is none other?than Rolex.The Vulcain Aviator Cricket case, which measures 42mm across and 14mm tall, is crafted from polished 316L Stainless Steel. It is a very manageable size for an aviation watch, a feat most likely?achieved by the omission of a self-winding me

Picked up my first AP - FC Diver
Well, I'm super excited to have picked up my first Audemars Piguet...a FC Diver. I had originally looked for a 15300 with the white dial but missed out one and have had trouble finding one. While looking though, I started learning about the Diver's and I fell in love.My only other watch that I have a is a Rolex Submariner with the ceramic bezel and I've worn it as a daily. It has collected its fair share of scratches but I love the watch in that I don't have to worry about it since its built like a tank.I went with the forged carbon with the ceramic bezel since I prefer to wear my watches wherever I go and as a daily, so I went with this one over the SS.Here are some pics (I'm not a photographer so apologies).And a shot with its older brother from another mother.

Video of how the 5175R is made
I can't say I like the 5175R and when I first saw it and read about it, I didn't think much of the watch, but after watching this, I've gained a whole new appreciation of it. Looking at a picture or video of it is one thing, but looking at how it gets made is an entirely different story...I didn't know how to directly link the video, but here's the website where I found it:sploid.gizmodo/seeing-the...949/+caseychanAnd boy do I not want the be the worker whose hand slipped and jacked up a case while doing the engravings!

New Deepsea Blue
I read an article commenting on how the new bracelet and modified lugs provide a better fit especially for larger wrists so I was wondering how the new version would fit a smaller wrist compared to the old. Any comments from those who have handled the new piece would be much appreciated...
