Chanel Announces J12 Moonphase 38MM Watch
The last really new J12 from Chanel was the Chromatic that watches-dealer debuted to the world here. Back in 2011 when Chanel released the Chromatic it upped the ante for Chanel's "ownership" of ceramic as a luxury material with a new metallic gray material that mixed ceramic with titanium. Chanel really started its own ceramic revolution with the original J12 watch about a decade ago. In black or white, it was anything but a polarizing design as the J12 is still beloved by many. Having said that - even though I think the J12 is a nice men's watch - it was women who found it the most interesting.Now, in late 2013 Chanel adds a new character to the J12 collection with the J12 Moonphase. The added moon phase complication is being debuted in a range of models that span from a classic white J12, to a Chromatic model, and even a totally jewel encrusted limited edition model (actually two of them). Though for now, the J12 Moonphase will be available exclusively in the 38mm wide size. Let's t

Does anyone have any issues with Panerai's composite material? Anybody accidentally spill drinking alcohol or other liquids on it? How are you guys cleaning it?

Might just be...
...the best watch ever. More than ever it's all about functionality for me. And I'm not shy about how I feel aboout the DJ41. Which is also very functional. But in the quest for the perfect watch, I'm looking for a tool as much as anything else. And a tool that has robust functionality. I've tried smart watches. So far, not for me. I've worn and still wear the Fitbit. But for me, for now, mechanical is my path. Anywho, I'm on this long windey watch journey. And I'm currently away with the lady. It was a relatively easy choice what to bring. The blnr. And while a one hour difference I didn't set the GMT. It seemed pointless in this situation. But through workouts and endless snorkeling, I've used the timing bezel. And the dial was super clear underwater. Have the date to keep a little bit of track on reality. Lume for the 2:00 am trips to the bathroom. And a little bling for the jewelry aspect of things. I've got a sub bracelet on it and I've adjusted the size at least a dozen times. Li

Anyone know an AD that has one in stock right now? I'm trying to buy for my brother, it's a birthday gift and want it from AD... thanks in advance.

Incoming Sub - Resize bracelet myself or let the shop do it?
I have a Submariner Date Ceramic (116610LN) arriving this week. The shop asked me if I want them to resize the bracelet (small wrist). They're not an AD but sourced it from an AD and sell a lot of watches.What do you guys recommend? Let them do it or ask them to ship the watch untouched and do it myself?Taking into account:- I bought a watchmaker screwdriver with four tips (1.0+1.2+1.4+1.6mm). I think it is good ($35) but never really used it before, anything is possible.- I bought a bottle of Loctite 222.- I have some painter's tape to put on the bracelet.- I watched a couple of YouTube videos on how to do it like a boss.HOWEVER:- I'm usually pretty bad with this type of precision handywork/fixes. I'm a clumsy mo#cker.- Never did it before and don't want to damage anything (strip screws, etc).What would you guys recommend as the least terrible idea? Do it myself or let the shop do it?
