Pairs Well With: Defakto Akkord
Vintage watches are all the rage. Whether authentically aged or designed to look it, vintage seems to be the go-to for the well dressed. As such, we've done quite a few Pairs Well Withs on watches that speak to a time cooler than our own. Well, enough is enough! Today, we are going to pair some duds with a watch that is unabashedly modern, the Defakto Akkord.As severe as it is clean, as bold as it is minimal, the Defakto Akkord is a watch for those with an eye for proportion and simplicity. Made in Pforzheim, Germany, the ETA 2824-2 powered automatic will turn heads with its high contrast markers and hold attention with its curious skeleton hour hand. Also featuring a sapphire crystal, display case back and your choice of calf leather strap, at around $550 before shipping, it's an incredible deal for a German made watch.To pair with such a particular watch, we went with structural clothing and a monochromatic palette. Sportier than our typical selection, this clothing emphasizes athlet

Hello I wanted to share something that happened to me this last weekend. I was out to dinner with my GF. We were waiting at the bar for our friends to meet us. I was wearing my Diver. While we waited an older guy next to us taps me and asks What watch is that? I told him and he said I thought so. He then goes on about owning an Audemars full gold on bracelet that was given to him by his wife. He said he didn't like wearing it because he was afraid of getting it stolen. It was cool chatting for a while with him about watches. My GF could have cared less.The interesting thing and question I have is that he said he has a Tiffany Dial Gold (assuming jumbo or 15300???) purchased over 30 years ago. Does anyone know if this is true about Audemars having a Tiffany's dial around 30 years ago? What would it be worth if real? Thanks all!

New here, can someone school me on the co-axial movement?
I'm new here, just bought my first Rolex a couple months ago. Caught the watch buzz now. I saw a constellation at a boutique that caught my eye but I haven't really seen a lot of info about it since then. I'd really like to learn more about the watch so I can either appreciate it more or make a pass on it. Looking for good info here so please keep it detailed as possible. For $8,000 I'm looking at possibly spending I want to make sure it's worth it (or just go buy another Rolex instead). Thanks.Looking at this one......omegawatches/fileadmi...2151001-20.png
