Three Luxury Women's Watches With Real Movement; From Van Cleef & Arpels, and Chopard, Perrelet
...Watch movement.No, I don't just mean the watch movement that powers the watch. I mean something about these watches literally 'moves' in a playful sense to add interest and novelty to that watch. Men's watches don't really have things that just flail about, but women's watches are meant to attract attention, both from the wearer, and her audience.You'll notice that these three watches heavily feature the use of diamonds.

The shine comes from light refracting off the various flat planes on the cut gem. When you are inspecting a diamond, you gently turn it in the light to admire its sparkle.

Retirement Gift
Hello, I've been on the fence on whether I should buy a 5712/1a for my retirement gift or if I should purchase another Rolex (I have 2 Daytona's, SS & TT). I did have 4 but I sold 2. So now I have decided to purchase a 5712.My question is where should I purchase it? I know what the retail value is but I don't want to give them my entire 401k! I keep hearing about Goldberg but they seem very expensive and I have also seen that the prices seem to be a little inflated. I would appreciate any thoughts on this subject. Thanks.
