Rolex to Launch Tudor in the U.S. this Summer
Rolex has confirmed to WatchTime that it will be launching its sister brand, Tudor, in the United States in the late summer. It has set up a new company, Tudor Watch USA LLC, in New York City. The company has tapped Russell Kelly, most recently a sales executive at Vacheron Constantin, as brand manager for Tudor in the United States. An executive at Rolex USA said the stores that will carry Tudor have been chosen but declined to say how many there will be or to give any other details about the introduction. There will be a major national and regional advertising campaign, the executive said. The company will officially announce the Tudor launch at a press conference at the Baselworld fair in April.The Tudor brand has not been available in this country for nearly a decade: Rolex stopped selling it here in 2004.The Tudor Heritage Black Bay

Very pleasant experience at AP boutique in Geneva
Today I took my brand new watch into to the AP boutique in Geneva. I wasn't quite sure what reception I would get....I've been in there a couple of times recently trying on watches. I needn't have worried. The guy who has looked after me on both of my visits greeted me warmly, and his smile did not change as I explained that I had bought a watch elsewhere for 25% less.They were charming, gave me coffee, took great care sizing my watch for me, removed the stickers, and gave it back to me in one of their nice leather travel boxes. I couldn't possibly have been better looked after.I chatted with the head watch-maker and learnt a couple of interesting little things....one needs a 1.4mm screwdriver to add/remove links from an SS 15400 and 1.2mm for a gold one....and, wait for it.....they recommend use of a watch winder.I walked out of the boutique wearing my watch, and for the first time it felt like mine.

New Arrival - PAM00425 S.L.C.
It's good to have a Panerai back in the fold This one's been on my radar for a while but at 47mm I thought it would be far too big for my 6.75 wrist I tried it on yesterday in my local AD and well, how wrong was I! Yes it's big but because my wrist is flat, the wired lugs sit well within the edges of my wrist, so for me that's perfectly acceptable.The watch is just amazing! It's just what I want in a Panerai - big, simple dial, in-house manual wind movement and of course those fabulous gold hands. And yes I like the Pig!! I've had a 111 before and we had a bit of a love/hate relationship. Sometimes it would be on my wrist for a couple of weeks, other times it would'nt last a couple of hours. I think it was the hands I couldn't get on with, at least they'll be no problem with the 425, gold hands rock It's been a busy and expensive last few weeks and with the watch fund completely depleted they'll be no more in-comings for a long while. But I can honestly say I'm very happy with where t

switching oyster to jubilee
Good day. Just wondering if anyone knows whether I could put on a jubilee bracelet on my Pepsi GMT16710 circa 2000? I went to Rolex NYC and they said I could not since the watch did not come with one. Would the jubilee not line up with the lugs? If it is compatible, where would I source one? I have oysters on a couple other sports models so I thought it would be cool to switch it up on the pepsi. Thoughts?
