Hands-On: With The New F.P. Journe Octa Sport And Centigraphe Sport In Titanium (Live Pics, Full Specs, & Pricing)
When F.P. Journe unveiled his Octa Sports line of watches back in 2011, we (the royal watch collecting "we") could simply not believe how light they were. After all, the F.P. Journe "lineSport" pieces, being the Octa Sport and the Centrigraphe (CTS), were made entirely of aluminum. Yes, aluminum! They were so light, they almost felt fake (seriously). They were not fake, they were just absurdly light, and absurdly cool. In fact, the very first aluminum CTS sold at Christie's for over $467,000. Yeah. That cool. But, all things must evolve, and today we have a look at the new line of sports pieces from Journe �C the very same models, but instead of the incredibly lightweight aluminum, they are now in titanium. 2 OF 18 The switch from aluminum to titanium was indeed a structural move. The soft qualities of aluminum posed some difficulties and Mr. Journe felt a completely titanium watch would still provide the incredible lightness the lineSport lovers were used to, without any

Polishing your 18K gold watch...
Sorry, I tried to find a generic forum to post this in, but apparently our general discussion isn't for watch related chat.. So being that I have a new 18K Rolex, and many of you likely also have one, or a TT.. I though maybe I'd get your thoughts on this product that I've used in the past for taking small micro scratches off other gold jewelry, but never a watch (yet).. it's not meant to remove deeper scratches or substitute for a proper refinish.. The yellow is a bit more abrasive but still more or less leaves a mirror finish, and the blue even more so... Anyone have experience with these or recommend something even better to get rid of those OCD induced micro scratches?.sunshinepolishingclothI know, I know.. enjoy the wear and tare and let the watch get an individual identity, etc... but frankly, at least right now, I enjoy the mirror finish too much to watch it slowly turn into a swirly mess... much like when you buy a new car and that paint is swirl free, mirror like etc..PS

GMT Pics on Strap - No Bracelets
Hi all,I've been doing some searching around some leather/nato/rubber straps for my GMT to change up the look a little, and wanted to see if anyone had any inspiration. I know that the watch looks best on the bracelet, and I do love it, but wanted to see if anyone had wrist shots or other pictures of their watch mounted on another apparatus. Let's see em!

I received my KERMIT from Italy!
Hello everybody! Some great news...Finally it became reality! I have my KERMIT! I bought it from a dealer in Italy via Chrono24 (I live in spain myself) I trade in my 114060 with some extra euro��s for a 16610LV RRR from 2008, with box and papers in mint condition. It took about a week to receive the Kermit after I first send my 114060 to Italy.. Everything went really smooth.. I found it a little scary though, as I never purchased a watch online..I went to my local AD yesterday so the Rolex watchmaker could have a look inside the watch to see if it needed a service. It is in perfect condition, as the seller told me, so he recommended not to service it. It took him about 20 minutes to check the movement. He also tested the watch in several positions. They really treated me very good. After the check up, the Rolex watch maker sat down with me to explain everything he checked using his Ipad to show me the exact components of the 3135 movement. They were very pleased and impressed to see a
