Ikepod Hourglass: Time For Art
I find it really ironic that an hourglass is a novel concept in the watch industry. When Marc Newson designed Ikepod released the Hourglass last year, I remember thinking "Wait. Is this the only high-end hourglass that you can get?" Yea, I think it is. It is as if the classic timing tool was a forgotten piece of history.Well, you might not have a lot of options in your quality hourglass buying needs, but the good news is that the Ikepod ones are pretty darn nice. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but you can actually time with them as well. According to Ikepod, the time ratings for both the large and small ones are quite accurate.

United Kingdom AD for Submariner 116613LN
This is a great site with great resources and people, so have registered to contribute as I know have the funds to buy my first Rolex! I really like the Submariner 116613LN (gold and steel with black dial) and have messaged a few ADs in the UK and there appears to be a wait list (2 years in Brighton!). I am English but currently live in Houston and have tried on this exact model in one of the ADs in the US. I want to buy in the UK when I am visiting in early Feb 2018 due to USD:GBP exchange rate and tax optimization vs buying in the US.Have I fallen in love with a hard to find model? Or have I just been unlucky with the UK ADs that I have spoken to?Your help would be greatly appreciated!
