Time For A Convertible: Watches With More Than One Face
Convertible cars are always those that have a folding down top. People associate the term with wearing sunglasses, breezes that increase with a vehicle's speed, and mid-life crisis time. Though when you think about it, the term convertible just means "changeable." Convertible couches are ones that turn into beds for example. And convertible watches are those that turn into something else. There are dozens of convertible watch styles and types. Many of them function to change the look of the watch or dial in some way. Others provide new uses for a wrist watch - such as turning it into a pocket watch. This overview article will simply go over some of the more interesting or famous convertible watch. Most of the seriously sophisticated convertible watches are a modern phenomenon, but the concept has been around for a long time. Just think about how much the look of a watch changes when you merely change the strap.Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso WatchesThe original Reverso flipped its case around

Oris Divers Date Watch - Solid Choice
You know what Oris makes a lot of? Diver's watches. The brand just makes a ton of these things. So many models, lots of weird iterations on the theme, after a while I just sort of stopped paying attention to their new models. I mean they came out with a regulator style diving watch. Why? I mean you really need to like regulator watches to be into one of those. There are small seconds, GMTs, all sorts of chronographs, and just a number of other interesting models. In my mind, no one else has as big a variety of mechanical diving watches as Oris. So sifting through all of them I wanted to look for the basic diver that they made that was good ol' dive watch goodness. I came up with the simply named Oris Divers Date watch.Oris watches are sometimes hit and miss for me. This one I really like though. It is really a tool that is OK to wear for any occasion. The Divers Date (I am not sure why there is no apostrophe in "divers") has a great looking curvy case that is 44mm wide in steel. Actual

Seiko Prospex SRP777 / 775 Review
Late last year, we ran an article about Seiko's expected reissue of the 6309-7040��a beloved dive watch the brand produced throughout the 70s and 80s. That article garnered a lot of interest from our readers and online watchdom in general, and for good reason. The 6309 is undeniably a great watch��one of my personal favorites from Seiko's historical catalogue��and amongst Seiko diehards it remains a must-have. As far as vintage divers are concerned, they're also relatively affordable and offer great bang-for-your-buck value.The 6309 was manufactured by Seiko for approximately 12 years��from 1976 to 1988��so one could argue that they're not rare watches. And for a long time, that was certainly true. Finding a well-priced original 6309 was no challenge, but in recent years that has become less of a reality. There are a lot of Franken-6309s floating around on Ebay and on forums with aftermarket parts��some of them good, and some not so good��and NOS replacement parts like handsets and bezel inse

About how many AP are produced a year?
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has an idea about how many AP are produced a year? I know far less than the 1,000,000 that Rolex does. Sorry if this has already been discussed. Thanks in advance!

Reaction to Rolexes
I am new to the hobby, but currently own 2 watches, a 116610LN and a Breitling Navitimer 01. Not that I care or am even concerned with the perceptions or opinions of others, but I find it funny that 90% of people won't comment or notice the Rolex, but a good portion notice the Breitling and comment on it being a nice watch and if I tell them what it is, they typically have never heard of Breitling. On the other hand, the watch no one notices, they typically only notice when they see the Rolex at the top. Just an observation I found amusing somewhat.
