Girard-Perregaux Chrono Hawk Watches Now With Steel Bracelet
Been a fan of the new Chrono Hawk watches from Girard-Perregaux but really been waiting for one on a bracelet? When the collection debuted in late 2012 they were on rubber-lined leather straps in black or brown. The sister collection of Sea Hawk dive watches that debuted at the same time were on rubber straps. While decent looking, I personally always felt that this was a watch collection in need of a bracelet to really complete the theme - especially the Chrono Hawk. That time has finally come.For early 2014, Girard-Perregaux finally debuts the Chrono Hawk in steel on a bracelet. The design strongly hearkens back to the Laureato collection of watches from Girard-Perregaux that helped inspired the Chrono and Sea Hawk timepieces. Though, these modern watches are much larger at 44mm wide with wide lugs. The Chrono Hawk, with its long lugs always "wore large" and Girard-Perregaux promised an upgrade to the strap to allow it to wrap around one's wrist more comfortably. It is entirely possi

Jacob Co. Cyclone Tourbillon Watch has a kind of techie design with a texture
Although the Cyclone is the first watch ever to have a real Vortex rotates on a spinning rotor. The movement was created by some ex guys of accommodations that are now in the fabric of time. It has a kind of techie design with a texture, although relatively flat dial (as the rotor must turn around).

Watch Modding Piece by Piece
Modding a watch can be addictive. If you are a creative type, finding just the right parts to make your very own perfect watch can be an interesting journey.?As we've covered in the past, the Seiko SKX007/009 dive watch has the most aftermarket products available for modification. But what's fun is checking out the world of watch hobbyists and small companies that produce very specific parts for very specific watches.Suppa PartsLet's take the Citizen BJ8050-08E, nicknamed the "Ecozilla." This tank-like solar-powered dive watch has a proprietary strap and lug attachment that makes sense from a functional standpoint, but limits collectors' ability to use straps with standard width ends. In comes Suppa Parts, a co-brand of Stevral/Raven/Benarus, which makes an adapter to fit the Ecozilla and its automatic counterpart the NH6930-09F (the "Autozilla"), so they can use standard 24 mm straps.

Three Yr warranty from Tournau
Purchased last week NIB Pam 104. For $500 I can purchase their extended warranty that included new straps if damaged, sweat marks etc., cosmetic scratches, dings, etc., and also a full servicing that alone costs over $500. Now I know most say pass on these but I plan on keeping it and can be rough on the watch so with all the inclusions should, in your opinion, spend the $500? Also consider I got 20% of the list price and it's a 2105 production with warrens card, box, papers, etc. what are your thoughts especially since that alligator strap is over $400 alone? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Rolex 116520 with 116509 Blue Heaven Dial
I know the purist would be against this idea and would never recommend such a thing but I want to change the look on my Daytona. I got too many black dials so wanted to change the look a little.I am thinking about upgrading the black dial on my 116520 with 116509 Blue Heaven dial.timeandtidewatches/wp-con...845x5502x.jpgI'd also need the WG bezel to complete the look. The only thing that concerns me is the color tone on the WG bezel which is slightly warmer than SS.What do you guys think?
