Omega Speedmaster Mark II Reissue Watch For 2014
In 1969 Omega introduced the Speedmaster Mark (Mk) II as an updated version of the outgoing Speedmaster. It happened to be in the same year that Omega also had a few of its older generation Speedmasters make their way to the moon in the NASA Apollo 11 mission, but that of course is another story. With a newly formed case that would become an iconic symbol of the brand as well as the era, the Omega Speedmaster Mark II will be re-introduced by Omega this year in 2014 with a modern movement but a design that is very true to the original. We even have the price below - which is lucky given how early this is being announced.As a pre-Baselworld 2014 release, Omega has given watches-dealer a glimpse of the upcoming "mid-range" priced Omega Speedmaster Mark II models that will arrive in at least two forms. Those with a love of the more colorful Speedmasters will enjoy the Omega Speedmaster Mark II with a red/orange and gray dial that is an homage to the vintage ref. 145.014 Omega Speedmaster P

Enamel Protocole XXL Watch Collection Furthers Piaget's Obsession With New York And Paris
What started with laser engraving on the side of a watch case is turning into a trend and serious art form for Piaget. Last year they released two watches with such laser engraving; the Piaget Polo Tourbillon relatifs. One was of a Paris skyline, and the other of New York. Each was done with incredible detail and was a shining example of artistic use of the technology. Only a few of each was produced, with pricing in the astronomical region.Now Piaget continues its fascination with the landmarks and skylines of these two cities. Using the Protocole watch rather than the Polo Tourbillon as a palette, Piaget takes a new approach and uses enamel painting all over the face of the watch. This time in full color, and covering each surface of the watch, not just the face. The painting is specially done in enamel over 18k white or yellow gold. It might as well be steel if it is painted over, but this is Piaget and there are expectations!Choosing the Protocole as the base for this highly Limite

who can tighten a stretched bracelet
Does anyone know who tightens stretched bracelets? I seem to recall there was some guy in Hong Kong or somewhere near there who worked magic on old stretched out bracelets and made them tight again. I just got a 910 flightmaster with its original 1159 bracelet & deployant but as you can see in the pics, the bracelet is quite stretched out.

Rolex Service Center Replace Dial on Sub 168000
I sent my Rolex Sub 168000 which I bought in 1987 to RSC NY for service and they told me that they will have to replace the dial & hands as required part of service. My old dial tridium has been flaking and it is affecting the watch function. The new dial & hands will cost over $550 plus service of $700 including taxes total of $1,500. I ask Rolex if I can keep my old dial. They told me that I will have to pay additional $300 bucks to keep the old dial. I was surprised because of this extra charge of $300 just to keep my old dial. Is keeping my old dial worth it even paying extra for it? Does anyone in the forum have the same experience? I need your advice.

Another car analogy
As a car dealer I find myself not liking certain new vehicles as they are redesigned only to have them grow on me. After reading a lot of comments on here I find others as well as myself doing the same with Rolex.
