Rado D-Star Basel Special 2011 Watch
Things are getting a bit weird when brands start making limited edition timepieces for Baselworld. That would be like auto makers producing special cars to debut at auto shows, that are done in honor of those auto shows. It starts to turn into a cyclical argument. This piece is the new Rado D-Star. In addition to be being a "Basel Special" piece, it is also done in honor of the classic Rado Diastar."Diastar" has been hipped down to "D-Star," which is supposed to make the collection sound more cool. The slightly oval, oblong case is much like the original, but the sporty dial and subtle nature of the watch are a modern treat. In fact, this is probably an easy watch to brush off at first glance as being nothing special. Wear it on the wrist for a while and a design like this will quickly grow on you. The case is in black ceramicin pure Rado style. Here done in a matte finish. The case is 42mm wide and water resistant to 100 meters.On the dial you have a simple, elegant design with a mini

A bit annoyed
paid a deposit for a limited edition ROONot sure if i should mention which watch and what boutiqueBack in may have been saving all summer long, hoping to pick up the watch november.Only to be told this week from the AP boutique they have changed the price and up'd it by more than 10% ��2500Now im not a rich man, just love AP watches and its all ive wanted to buy for the last 12 months.Any ideas why they would price hike a watch on its last few pieces.

Superocean heritage - not dive ISO cert?
Hi Guys, La Swiss in my local mall is moving - and is offering crazy crazy discounts on their watches.... including their brietlingshow crushed was i when i found out the almost 5k watch for 2k wasn't ISO certified for diving...(according to the sales woman & her resource she checked)Why oh why would they make a super ocean, even if it is heritage and not go that extra little step??now i don't know what I'm hoping for posting this - you guys tell me she's wrong, and i cry, or you tell me she's right, and i cry that I'm missing such a nice watch (IMHO)If she's right is there a logic to this I'm missing?

Omega question.......
As a Rolex owner I must profess to not knowing a lot about current Omegas, although I do own an oldish (80's) Seamaster.I am very attracted to the Constellation line but need a bit of info, which I can't seem to find on the Omega website.Can anyone explain the difference between a Double Eagle and an ordinary mechanical Omega chronometer?I can see myself with one on my wrist before much longer, but need some insight, to help me make the right choice.Thanks, from the dark side........... (Rolex forum)

Stopped in for service
I've recently noticed that my watch is losing some seconds everyday. I decide to stop in the Patek service center in Rockerfeller plaza. After a quick service I was told my watch falls into specs. The service advisor recommended when I'm not wearing the watch to keep it crown up. Anyhow attached is the printout of the the service. Any further information about the print out would help. I understand the diagrams on the left are crown postion but what do the other numbers mean. Thanks everyone.
