Maurice de Mauriac Moon Chronograph Watch
A particularly attractive line from Maurice de Mauriac of Zurich is this Moon Chronograph watch collection. It comes in many different versions (see here), but is a pretty clever take on use of a Valjoux 7751 automatic movement. Seen here is the top of the line piece in solid pink gold, but the diversely customizable collection is offered in various case sizes, in various materials, with various dials.See my full article on the Maurice de Mauriac Moon Chronograph watch at Haute Living here.

1st Post. 1st AP
Hi TRF,I've been dreaming about the day I can share with you my first AP! Been lurking around this site for over a year and finally created an account so I could reach out to this seller to buy his watch. K3vin, thank you for a pleasant transaction. You were patient, honest, and an all around cool guy. Glad to have met up with you because it seems like we have tons in common. The watch: NIB AP Royal 15450ST with the silver dial. The 15400ST silver dial was the first AP I've tried on in 2013. It was gorgeous but a bit big for my wrist. It wasn't until K3vin posted the 15450ST for sale that I knew there was a smaller version. After reading every single thread on TRF about the 15450, it became more apparent that this is the watch for me and I needed to check it out. Well here it is. Images are attached. Immediately I thought this was a gorgeous watch but it wasn't until I finally removed all the little stickers - and then - holy MF shit! It got even sexier!!! The finish is impeccable and

Orange PO, orange Croc
Hi All, just got this orange croc strap for my PO. what do you fellows think?

Holidays are Coming
Holidays are coming and wanted to be ready.Got these for our 2 boys (ages - 28 WG Daytona, 31 DSSD).28 lives in Europe, travels frequently, 31 in California.Both are on casual side, figured these would be appropriate, and have read how comfortable the Tropical strap is. Also under the radar. Considered 2 - 5167's, liked the date window, however I liked the feel of the 5164's more, and the second time zone for the traveler.I generally wear PP 5980/1A-001, PP 5270 Series 1, and occasionally a Rolex Double Red Sea-Dweller.Now I think I need a Tropical watch also??

Why Rolex, again?
So I'm at a restaurant with a group of friends who haven't seen each other in a while. The guy next to me remarks on how much he likes the watch worn opposite me, a big black quartz Diesel. They admire it for a bit, and move on. Nobody, including me, mentions the 2017 SS DJ I'm wearing in full view, which I didn't mind at all.Given that my watch probably was worth more than all the others at the table combined, and it got no attention when the topic of watches was raised, you might wonder why spend all that on Rolex?Many have said on TRF that they're not interested in the attention of others, but wear their Rolex for personal satisfaction.Here are some of my reasons:-- I like the history of the brand and of the DJ-- I enjoy the amazing engineering excellence making a chronometer this accurate-- For a daily wearer I want chronometer accuracy-- I wore quartz for many years but much prefer automatic sweep second hand and no battery replacement-- water resistance and the date are importan
