Bulgari-Bulgari Moonphase Watch for Women 2009 Release
I love this watch. I've always loved Bulgari anything, but this watch is just so sensuous and harmonious...I want it now.Inspired by Italian Style and Design with Swiss watchmaking expertise, the Bulgari-Bulgari Moonphase model features the automatic Bulgari caliber B77 movement with moonphase complication. With launches such as this, Bulgari is definitely making some bold moves. Then again, what else should we expect from this brand?With the introduction of the Bulgari-Bulgari Moonphase to be released at this year's Basel show, Bulgari is definitely widening its appeal. By adding more complications for women, other than just bedazzling timepieces with diamonds, I have even more respect for them as a watchmaker for women.It's almost funny how male dominated brands will take their simplest model, throw some diamonds on it, and call it a women's watch. Really...That said, I'm usually not a fan of such large logos - on anything - but the swirling Bulgari double logo engraved upon the beze

The Value Proposition: Laco Chronograph Watch "New York," Offering Better Value Than Rent
For the first chronograph covered in The Value Proposition, we take a look at a solid offering from a brand we haven’t covered too much here on HODINKEE: Laco. Founded in 1925, the German company gained fame for its pilot’s watches produced in the 1940s. Its current range of watches includes a number of chronographs inspired by the brand’s historic models, with a few modern design updates. If you’ve been looking for a chronograph with traditional looks, but without faux patina or dramatic detailing, the Laco Chronograph Watch “New York” could be a good bet. It also doesn’t hurt that it comes in under $3,000. 2 OF 6 The Valjoux 7750 is a veritable workhorse movement that can be found in many modern chronograph watches. First, a bit about the movement: the Laco Chronograph Watch “New York” uses a Valjoux 7750. This self-winding calibre was introduced in 1974, using a coulisse-lever design in lieu of the more traditi

RO Balance wheel melted! Covered under warranty?
I started to feel some heat on my wrist; looked at my watch and to my surprise the balance wheels seem to have generated so much heat due to frictions and lack of lubricants and melted!Not really sure what happened there. A photo might help.

Incoming Daytona Grail - Mini-review & Comparison
I'm a weak weak man my friends lol.However... I am so so SOOOO happy to announce that I received my first white gold Rolex today. I decided after much deliberation to trade my recently acquired 116655 +cash from me, towards the super hot Rolex White Gold Daytona 116519 on Oysterflex with Rhodium Dial and black sub dials.There was never a doubt that this was the watch for me. I fell in love from the first second it was released at Basel World. My only reservation was the price. When I acquired the RG YM I kind of knew it was a holdover until the price came down on this Daytona.Well Obviously I broke down and made a move. Here's why...1. I couldn't get a perfect fit with the YM. Despite the OF (oyster flex) being extremely comfortable, it was a little too snug in the loosest position. Yes, I tried every combo of OF strap and couldn't get the perfect fit. The main issue is lack of EZ Link in the clasp. Bummer. 2. Thanh Do (Takuya) had a pre-owned mint example 116519 (they haven'
