Dottling Colosimo Spike & Mies "Stylish" Watch Winders
We have now entered the world of designer watch winders. Did you ever think that your next watch winder would be inspired by a chair? Or perhaps high heels? Well these two are. German safe and watch winder maker Dottling has built a follow-up model to their famed Colosimo watch winder safe. I originally wrote about the Colosimo here.The new winder is still called the Colosimo, but is smaller than the original and now has room to wind three versus one watch. To begin, Dottling will offer two limited edition versions of the second generation Colosimo. These are Colosimo "The Spike" and Colosimo "The Mies." Aren't they stylish?The main idea of the Colosimo is to look like a small safe. It has a safe-style door that opens up to reveal the winding drum. The drum has been redone here to offer space for three watches. The second gen Colosimo dimensions are 21cm x 21cm x 20cm. It is almost a perfect square and about 7 centimeters smaller than the original. It also weighs a lot less. Dottling w

Watch Spotting: Jon Hamm Wearing A Vintage Omega Seamaster On The Cover Of Rolling Stone
Last night saw the premiere of Mad Men season 6, and not only was there some awesome vintage Leica-love, but also a spotlight on Don's now water-logged wristwatch in the first five minutes! We've gone in-depth with the watches of Mad Men before, courtesy of the man who sourced them, but it's also nice to see Mr. Draper himself sporting his now trademark 1966 Omega Seamaster on the cover of this month's Rolling Stone. Not bad. Not bad at all.

New Navy ROO - easy colour to use?
Hi,I am brand new to the AP brand, tried some on yesterday and wow, I fell in love!!I love the rose gold Royal oak with leather strap, but I think a better starting point would be a Royal Oak Offshore - lower entry price and better daily watch for my lifestyle. I love the rubber strap on a premium watch, very cool.So I am now considering a few models, the new navy dial + navy strap 26470 - which I have found for ?14k for a brand new one.The others are the 26170 Navy and the 26170 Panda - both costing about ?10k for a used one.So I have a couple of questions.(1) Does anyone have any experience of using this new navy ROO? I tried it on yesterday and it looked amazing, but I had a blue t-shirt and jeans on, so naturally it matched perfectly! I just wonder when using other colour clothes if the blue ends up clashing or if it still looks just as good? How easy is it to use basically I want to know, as I intend to use it as my daily watch and put my YG GMT-IIC to rest for special occasions.(

Dial Change ?
I've just picked up an Avenger Seawolf titanium for a song. It needs a full overhaul and I'm wondering if they could do a dial/hand change. It has a dark blue dial but I like the yellow dial. Does anyone know if they will do it and the approximate cost ?

Watch photos part 4
Hi. Today's watch, the Planet Ocean Chrono is the eldest one in my collection. Its only 2.5 years old but it is the watch that started this wonderful hobby for me and so is very special to me. To be honest I love this watch as much today as I did when I brought it. In the summer I purchased the Orange Allogator strap for it. Now its winter again I decided to put the Stainless Steel Back on.
