Baselworld Preview: Glash��tte Original Pocket Watch No. 1
At Baselworld 2010, Glash��tte Original will present their rose gold Pocket Watch No. 1 with quarter hour repetition in a limited edition of 25 pieces. A historical watch by Julius Assmann, a famous pioneer of the Glash��tte watchmaking industry, served as the model. The repeater first strikes the previous hours, and then in a higher tone, the number of quarter hours that have elapsed since the last full hour. The repeater is operated by means of a slide located at 6 o’clock. Moving the slide toward 9 o’clock winds the mainspring. At full wind, the striking mechanism is activated automatically.

How to acquire a jubilee bracelet for my 16710?
Hi all, I have a D-serial (2005) no holes case 16710. Does anybody know the exact jubilee bracelet that was fitted for this model at the time? Correct me if I'm wrong, but my research shows me a 62510h, but there are so many different kinds. Is there a subset of letters I'm looking for such as RS7, K12 etc.? Was a jubilee bracelet available as an option in 2005/2006? I called in to RSC and they told me I couldn't get a jubilee bracelet because mine has the oyster bracelet currently on it, and it wasn't an option for D-serials. Were only certain bezel inserts fitted with the jubilee? For example, could I have purchased a Pepsi bezel with a jubilee in 2005/2006? If that's the case, I have all three bezel inserts if I need to swap out to thecorrect insert. I've called a few AD's and they said it's a trade out only policy at Rolex. Meaning, I would have to trade my perfectly fine oyster bracelet for a jubilee. I asked if I just sent the head in if I could purchase a jubilee, and they said
