Kevin Rose Explains How He Got Into High-End Watches & Making The Watchville App For iOS & Android
Kevin Rose's F.P. Journe Chronometre Bleu watch in hand next to the Watchville app.Now in his late 30s, internet entrepreneur, founder of Diggwatches-dealer, and Google Ventures start-up savant Kevin Rose is growing up. Meeting with him in Los Angeles in November 2014, he talks about juggling a work-life balance, looking back on his career to identify trends in technology, and his own perspective on the evolving landscape of online media consumption. What he also talks about is a growing appreciation of items that are truly timeless and an interest in goods that aren't disposable, but that are finely made and intended to last for a long time. While Kevin doesn't yet have children with his wife Darya, he smiles when discussing the topic of passing his watch collection on to his kids someday. It is the type of genuine smile that transcends status and wealth for those holding something in their hands that they are truly passionate about.Kevin Rose has become a rather serious watch guy ove

Very interesting auction for a RG RB
I think it's pretty cool, the seller states the rubber was shaved off the RC bezel to show the solid gold under it. I can see he's telling the truth because the WG screws on the bezel are slightly higher than the bezel since they removed the thin layer of rubber.I never knew if you took the rubber off the bezel it would actually look that nice. go figure. don't like the brown diver strap tho..ebay/itm/NEW-AUDEMARS...item2578aa5e62

To The Purists
One of the things that I like about AP aficionado's is that they/we can appreciate and enjoy watches of all sizes. To me it is one of the only brands that embraces some pretty varied watch sizes. And does so well!

Future of 5711/1A production line
Called my local AD earlier today to ask about delivery time, price and availability for the 5711/1A.Was told that they received one (1) last month, that they have at present a white dial one in stock, and that they cannot confirm availability ever again unless they talk to PP.They very politely refused even to accept a reservation with immediate deposit paid unless they first confirm with PP that the specific model will continue to be produced.They stressed that with the Basel 2014 show coming up, they do not know at all if they will receive again the specific piece. Sounds very strange to me, this is a relatively basic but highly elegant and a unique design of the brand...They asked me to call again next week in order to confirm future availability. Was provided a (very good) price, so keeping fingers crossed that Patek will keep this beauty in the lineup hopefully in a couple of months I can have one (considered gold versions but they are quite flashy for my daily work environment).

Incoming PAM 523
