Swarovski Octea Sport Ladies' Watch
Swarovski is making bold moves, ladies! (Guys, be at least idly aware).While other brands are scaling back and trying to focus on how to stay relevant in these times - Swarovski is taking their beloved crystals and developing their own line of watches, to properly exhibit the beauty - on a timepiece.My initial thought upon seeing the new line of watches from Swarovski was that it looks so familiar I tried to think of the exact predominantly women's brands that it reminded me of, and then I realized - all of them. Chanel - Dior - Nixon - Tag Heuer.You cannot escape those immediate parallels. The comparisons to the Dior Christal Collection and the Chanel J12 are too clear. But, with changing markets and a severe change in consumer spending, it is adaptations like this - with crystal instead of sapphires or diamonds - that will really help people and brands carry through to the other side of this recession. Give them what they want - compromise a little it - and still get a great prod

AP RO 'Jumbo'Movement Differences?
Folks, i've recently become interested in picking up a Jumbo and a quick google has revealed that the 15202 comes as a variant with either the fabled 2121 movement or the newer in house 3120 movement.Question to those in the know, how can one tell cosmetically which movement is which? Are there any obvious cosmetic differences between the two? Is it obvious which movement is which?

I've been looking for a nice 3572.50 and received this over the weekend. The bracelet is very comfortable but I would like to add a strap for a little variety. Any strap pictures would be appreciated. I find the dial easier to read than any other Chrongraph I have owned. On a full manual wind, the watch ran 50 hours. Don't have anything to compare to but I thought that was good. Special thanks to Fr. John for his recommendations and answering my many questions. It's great to have so many resources on TRF.

My next watch will be a PO... but I have a question...
Everywhere I read, everyone says I should get the PO on a bracelet. Well, fantastic. I will. If only because I know that buying the bracelet separately doesn't make much financial sense. However... if I do buy it on a bracelet... how much can I expect to spend on an original rubber strap? And where would I be able to get it?Thanks.

Got a call last night... Picking it up today
Hi GuysI got a surprise call from a local dealer, whom I have never done any business with, that they have a White dial stainless Sky Dweller in. It is mine if I want it. My first choice is blue, 2nd is black. Did not really consider the white.I put a deposit down and going to look at it tonight and probably pick it up.I know the white dial is not as hot as the blue or black. But are they still hard to find? I am just a little surprised that I got the call.
