Skagen's Flagship Swiss Movement Men's Watch Line For 2009
I was curious as to what Skagen considered to be their flagship watch, so I asked them. The Danish brand has seemingly always been around in the watch world. Brands tend to have iconic looks and technologies that are imbued into flagship products that communicate the brand. Skagen's entire watch product line has a few common themes. These include use of minimalist design, titanium as often as possible, thin case profiles, function forward attitudes, Swiss movements, and reasonable prices. For 2009, Skagen replied that the watch that communicates all these notions are the men's 585XLTMXB and 585XLTMXM watches. The difference between the two models is one is constructed of gray toned titanium, while the other uses a darker black toned titanium.Let's go back a step while I give you my take on Skagen watches. A lot of the time I wake up and want to wear a serious "show me the money" watch. That isn't about glitz, but rather about "I am going to go out and conquer the day!" Other days I wan

Just want to share this amazing video
It's a review of the 15305OR Royal Oak Skeleton by watchfinders.co.uk. A must-watch if you are an AP RG Skeleton owner. I always enjoyed this youtube channel and find the presentation very informative. It enhances my appreciation of the watches it features.For good measure, a recent shot of my seldom seen all RG 15305OR

Rubber strap or steel? PO query
I am looking at a new watch, either Omega or Rolex.Q is it better value for money to get the steel strap 8500 PO, or the rubber?The watch costs the same, so curious if its a better deal to buy the watch with a steel strap and buy a rubber one for swapping, or the other way around? Also how easy is it to swap them around?Thanks

State of Rolex
Had some time to kill today in NYC. Visited three prominent Rolex ADs and a Rolex boutique. I found one Smurf. Other than that, no subs....not even a ND. No GMTs....not a one. Only 2 of them had YMs. I find this ridiculous.I also talked to two separate managers regarding the SS Pepsi, who told me the same thing my AD has:They currently don't know how many they are getting or when. BUT...they anticipate getting 2 or 3 A YEAR. If true (I've heard this from 3 separate sources), let that sink in. And if you think your local AD will be getting more than ADs in the middle of NYC, then I have a bridge I want to sell you.
