Romain Jerome Liberty DNA Watch
The newest "DNA" watch collection from Romain Jerome will be the Liberty DNA timepieces. These watches will each incorporate some metal from the actual Statue of Liberty, and feature a unique design meant to honor the statue while not simply featuring imagery from it on the case and dial. Do you see something a bit steampunk about it? Maybe, while this isn't per se a Steampunk watch (as many other Romain Jerome models are), the Liberty DNA (ref. RJ.T.AU.LI.001.01) does have a 19th century feel to it.Romain Jerome worked in collaboration with the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation as well as the Gold Leaf Corporation on this timepiece. These foundations helped Romain Jerome acquire small amounts of metal from the actual statue. The dial of the watch is designed to look just like the oxidized copper look of the statue today. It has no markers, just the signature color and texture of the statue. The dial itself is where metal from the statue is incorporated. Over the dial and attac

Bring a Loupe: Completely Fake Patek Philippe 1463 In Steel On eBay For Over $25,000 �C Here's How To Tell It's A Fake
Fake watches are scary and plentiful, great original watches are beautiful but scarce – this is why we keep you up to speed in our weekly edition of Bring A Loupe. However, a weekly column isn't enough to flag all the offenders and we see countless bad watches sell each week. Sometimes, however, we see one that is so offensive, and in this case, so expensive, that we just have to dedicate an entire story to it here. A watch listed right here on eBay is supposed to be a rare Patek Philippe. It is, of course, not at all a Patek Philippe, but that doesn't prevent it from having a price of over $18,000 right now, with two more days to go.I will not only expose the parts that make this fake the worst buy you could ever make, but also the general attitude that I recommend having when hunting for a watch. My motto: only the paranoid make good collectors. When It Is Too Good To Be True Finding an amazing watch for a bargain is like looking for water in the desert: th

Interview: Aldo Magada Reveals Zenith's New Number One Market, And Explains The El Primero's
Aldo Magada, CEO of Zenith, was at the Royal Automobile Club in London to present the El Primero Chronomaster 1969 Hero Cup on Monday morning. A limited edition of 100 pieces, two of which will be gifted to competitors of the classic rallying competition, it cements the brand’s position in the world of vintage automobiles. We sat down with Mr. Magada to find out just how much the brand is driven by its icon. Arthur Touchot:Let’s start by looking back at 2015. Were you satisfied with the end-of-year results? Aldo Magada: Our numbers [this year] were actually in single-digit decline, mainly because of Hong Kong. As a place, it’s always been challenging for brands. It used to be our biggest market, but today Japan has overtaken it. Almost 75% of that market [Japan] is local, increasing steadily over the years, and is mainly buying El Primero watches. 1 OF 5 AT:For the second time in 12 months (after the Tour Auto Edition), Zenith is

Panerai original straps (so thin)

Rubber strap for Black Bay Bronze
Can anyone confirm if I can buy a decent Rubber strap for my BBB, I thought the Rubber worked but apparently they don't have them for the larger case. I don't really want to use the leather strap and the Nato is getting tired and does not really fill out the gap between the lugs at all. I should start a thread on how many people's skin turns green at night from the Bronze, I have very acidic skin, turned it dark within a week go getting it. And given it is summer in OZ if I perspire at night I wake up with green all over my wrist.
