Eleven James Review: A Luxury Watch Subscription Service Reviewed
A new company called Eleven James is offering a subscription-based service that allows you to "rent" luxury watches just like Netflix. Members elect to receive either three or six watches per year for a period of two months at a time, from a choice of curated Collections (ranging from $10,000 average retail value and upwards). The program allows each Member - ranging from new enthusiasts to established connoisseurs - to experience an array of watches before their next purchase, to revitalize their existing collection, and to enjoy a level of variety on a consistent basis that would be difficult to replicate personally. Seriously, "Fractional Ownership" of a watch? Effectively yes, for as little as $249 per month delivered straight to your door. watches-dealer has tested the service and offers our opinion.Eleven James CEO Randy Brandoff came up with this idea long before he left NetJets as its Chief Marketing Officer. Eight years ago, he thought about "luxury collaborative consumption"

Rado D-Star 200 Dive Watches
While I like this new watch range a lot I am torn because it is a Rado without being a modern Rado. What do I mean? Well for the last long while Rado watches have been mostly typified by having mostly ceramic cases. In fact Rado was pretty much the innovator behind ceramic watch. For 2012 a cool re-done diver collection comes out and it barely has any ceramic! Well, a bit more on the chrono model. If you can get over that then you'll probably like these new D-Star 200 Dive watches a lot.I am not sure of all the color styles that will be available but so far we have blue and black trim models. The D-Star 200 will also come in three-hand and chronograph variants. The three-hand model will be 42mm wide and the chronograph will be 44mm wide. The cases are in steel and sort of retro-barrel shaped. I actually like this case design a lot. Interestingly enough Rado claims that the deployment clasps on the bracelets will be in titanium.The D-Star 200 names stems from the fact that the watches a

Changing to RO to Rubber Strap.
Ok I have tried to find sources on what is needed. So I have a 15400 I would like to purchase and change to rubber and croc straps. So I would need the strap if self (obviously), then ROO connectors for the actual case, and then the buckle?

Question for 5711 owners
Hey all, I have the fortune of having a friend getting me a customized shirt. I've never had one before and one of the options offered to me was to increase the sleeve on the left side by .25 or .5 if I desired to better accommodate a watch. I've never felt the need for this with the 5711 it seems to lie flat and work with a regular sleeve but perhaps it would do better with a slightly enlarged cuff? Do any only you increase the sleeve on the watch arm?

Guys,I have been racking my head picking up a new watch for the last 6 months. I currently have a blue Omega SMPc (my daily watch). Here are my choices:A. Sell or trade in the Omega and buy a Rolex GMT II 116710LN (need the funds to purchase this piece).or B. Keep the Omega and buy a Panerai as a second piece. My dilemma is; I love Rolex as a brand (always have), but none of the pieces scream buy me (including the 116710LN). It's a great watch, but there is something about it on my 7.75 inch wrist that makes me scratch my head in doubt. In addition to my full-time job I work a side job for a high end catering staffing company. I worked an event last night and of course being a WIS my sole purpose is to check out someones wristwatch. All the younger guys (30-45) that I saw had a Rolex of some sort on. The watches they had on looked great, but nothing jumped of their wrists and said wow to me. The event was at a high end family jewelry store. They sold watches (oris, Lumin
