Will The IsoSpring Steal Away The Tick-Tick-Tick Of Your Wrist Watch?
It seems that 2014 is the year of announcements for revolutionizing the wrist watch as we know it. Some of these claims will take time to prove (read: smartwatches), but others do seem to be truly reinventing bits and pieces of the movements that make up the mechanical wonders that we know and love.

Why no GMT ads ?
I am curious and thought I'd throw this out there. Since getting my gmt nearly two years ago I have yet to see any Rolex print ads featuring a gmt. I read several newspapers on line and magazines as well and have yet to see one.What gives?
