Cartier Sues Online “Flash” Retailer HauteLook Over Watch Sales
Cartier has sued HauteLook, Inc. in federal court in Manhattan alleging the Los Angeles-based retailer falsely claims to offer new Cartier goods at deep discounts based on a special relationship with the brand. Cartier’s complaint states that it has no relationship with HauteLook, and that the retailer is selling secondhand Cartier watches and other goods as new. The complaint, filed August 3, states that the Hautelook website contains the claim “no secondhand merchandise, ever.” Cartier says that through its agents, it purchased 5 Cartier watches from HauteLook, and after reviewing the timepieces and information based on serial numbers, Cartier concluded that all 5 watches were “used and therefore secondhand.”Cartier claims the watches also showed scratches and evidence of poor polishing and improper repair. One watch was delivered in a damaged Baume & Mercier box, and on certain Certificates of Authenticity included with Cartier products, the authori

My first Father's day and the wife surprises me with an excellent gift... First she gets me cuff links with watch movements on them saying she couldn't get me a watch...... Then I come back in the room and there's a box... In it from Fr. John's AD... My new PO 8500 in 45.5mm!!!! Since I'm new to these auto watches and Omega in general here's my first couple questions....1) Is the minutes hand supposed to be a different color than the hours hand, it looks bluish2) I just started wearing it today after getting it sized at a Boutique (another about that), if it needs to wound how do I know it does and how do I do it!!!Pics will be posted soon!!!

rolex 16610T-Green or Black-Need help!!!
Recently, I purchased a green Rolex Submariner 50th anniversary.I haven't seen the watch before purchase but the guy guaranteed me that it was original and I can still return it. I received it 4 days ago, It came without the original box but there was its certificate card. On the Card, the serial number of this watch is shown as 116610.Which is a submariner with black bezel. Then I decided to remove the wrist band and check it out by myself and I found out that there is 16610T written on it. When I googled this new serial number there are 2 types of this watch. One of them is with green bezel and the other one is black. How can I be sure if this watch is an original 50th anniversary green bezel or a changed one ? and the certificate it self creates more questions. I showed it a Rolex dealer and he told me that the watch is original but didn't say anything about the possible bezel change. (sorry for grammar mistakes)I'll be thankful if anyone can help me about this situation.Thanks

One watch guy but want to wear something else every couplle of years
So I have a 2016 Explorer that I love. I have this watch since last year Christmas.In the future, let's say a couple of years I like a GMT2. And after that, some years more, a Day-Date. My goal is just to wear a quality wrist watch for the rest of my life, not filling a watch box. Besides that not breaking the bank. Timeline is loosely like this: I am 39 years old now, somewhere at 42 get the GMT2. At 45/47 get the Day-Date.The Day-Date is not a real end-game watch or grail to me (but hey: that President's bracelet ), after that I might get into AP, PP etc.I feel I have no any problem to sell my current watch because it will be replaced by another great watch. No sentimental value or passing it on etc.I like to hear from other one watch guys who have the same game plan or are already on this path.
