Pebble Steel Smartwatch Debuts With Mainstream In Mind
From plastic to metal, the Pebble smartwatch grows up with the new "Pebble Steel" for 2014. Is the public ready to start wearing smartwatches? The industry feels that 2014 may just be the right time and more fashionable designs in the traditionally ho-hum-looking nerd watch department are going to start being released. Today, at the International CES in Las Vegas, Pebble announced version 2 of the Pebble smartwatch, aptly named Pebble Steel - will it "steal" the show? In addition to an upgraded design, Pebble flaunts its apps and range of upcoming features.Pebble Steel appears positioned to answer the question, "Could you wear a smartwatch in a business or casual setting?" Because, let's face it, until now you couldn't wear a smartwatch on a date (well most dates). Using more expensive materials and a dressier appearance than the original, that answer is starting to look like "yes" (maybe). The Pebble Steel will come with two finishes including a brushed stainless and black matte case.

Orange bezel PO...
I'm thinking of getting a PO with the orange bezel and would really like to have it with the orange leather or rubber strap. Should I buy the watch with the steel bracelet and get the OEM leather or rubber strap to change out the bracelet, or buy ride away with leather or rubber strap?I'm asking because the straps and buckle not that cheap but I really like the looks with leather or rubber.On the other hand I know from my Breitling that the leather only last for max 2-3 years before needs to be replaced and that's why I switched to a rubber a couple of month ago.What do you think or know about the durability of the Omega rubber or leather straps?Thanks a lot for any advise!!

my NOS 337
I haven't posted in awhile. I had a Pam69 for about a year. I bought it just to have a Pam in my collection. I didn't wear it much because my attitude was meh.then, an AD showed me this 337 with its perfect symmetry 42mm case, time only dial, and sandwich lume. now I get the PAM fanaticism, and it's become my dailywearer. old dogs can learn new tricks.

116000 Lume
Hi there.I've restrained myself from posting on here as the question that I'm about to ask potentially could have been answered many times over.This is my first post, so please spare me... I'm curious to know the lume colour on the 116000. Specifically the Blue 3-6-9 dial.I've googled it up.I've searched it on this forum.I've yet to see one that comes with the blue chromalight lume as mentioned by a seller whom I might be dealing with for this piece.Is there such a thing as a blue lume for this 116000 (3-6-9 blue dial)?Or is this a production thing?The blue lume only came up from such and such year to present.Or it never came with blue lume?Again, I do apologise for wasting your time reading.But I do greatly appreciate your input (pictorial evidence will be more than sufficient).THANKS AGAIN!

Ways I have damaged a watch
In honor of my new TRF pal who just bought his very first Rolex, I though it would be good for us to collectively warn him about the worldly dangers that lurk for our watches. I shall begin:Gasoline/Petrol/SolventsWhile filling my car with fuel, the petrol splashed back onto the watch and melted the water seals. Not a cheap fix. Now I ALWAYS have my watch arm behind my back when at the pumps.
