CORUM Heritage Artisans Coin Watch
The bald eagle became the national bird of the United States on June 20th 1782. It is a symbol of beauty, strength and prestige which appears grasping arrows and an olive branch in its talons on most official American seals, including the President's. It also appears on several coins such as the US dollar and inspired Corum to design the first Coin Watch with a coin as a dial in 1964. Half a century later, the?La Chaux-de-Fonds brand has unveiled a limited edition of 100 pieces whose dial is a real dollar in 925 silver protected by sapphire crystal. Two black baton-shape hour and minute hands burst from beneath the eagle's head powered by the self-winding CO 082 calibre which provides a 42-hour power reserve. The movement is nestled in the 43mm silver case whose crown gleams with a diamond.?Price: 12,400 CHF.?Sharmila Bertincorum.ch

Why The Hate?
Hello chaps, 1st time posting in this part of the forum...I was wondering why people seem to completely dismiss the AP T3 watch. Is it simply the size? Or is there another fundamental reason?I actually tried one on recently and it was surprisingly light and comfortable and didn't look as ridiculous as expected - my daily wear is a Rolex SDDS so I'm used to big time-pieces.There are a few around for sale but don't seem to move quickly. Is it one of those LE's that will just fade away with time?I'd love some opinions.....Cheers!

Daytona Rose Gold Ivory Dial
I have been searching for the Daytona Rose Gold Ivory dial for a while. I come across the opportunity to get the used one at quite reasonable price. I have some questions for this model and would like to get some idea from my friend here. 1) why is not this model popular comparing to others? I rarely see people wearing it. 2) if it's not so popular, how come it's not easy to find in a used market?3) any pro and con for this model? Any current or past users?Thanks a lot :)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
