Nik Wallenda Takes JeanRichard To New Heights Over Grand Canyon
You no doubt have heard the news (or perhaps even watched the live broadcast) of Nik Wallenda crossing over the Little Colorado River Gorge (near the Grand Canyon), 1500 feet in the air without a tether on June 23, 2013. ?What you may not have caught is the fact he was wearing a watch from JeanRichard as Wallenda is JeanRichard's latest brand ambassador (Ariel had dinner with him and vouches that he is indeed a nice guy).The watch in question that crossed the Canyon was the JeanRichard Terrascope (pictured up top, and reviewed right here). ?At first, it may seem a little odd that someone would wear a $3,500 watch in a stunt like this - not to mention the fact of having that extra unbalanced weight. ?But, when you realize that Mr. Wallenda is a brand ambassador for JeanRichard, it all makes sense. Eventually there will be a limited edition version of the watch for Wallenda.If you're going to take risks like this (and with as wide as an audience as this viewing had), you'd might as well

Vintage watch sites
Can anyone post a few links to reputable sellers of vintage Omegas. Thx.

5131
is the 5131 really that hard to obtain from a dealer? how long are the waitlists or is that AD dependent.

So how many straps is enough for one Panerai??
Curious how many straps is enough for a single Panerai watch????? As far as color and style, how many will cover all the looks from rugged casual, diving, to black formal?? I am starting with multiple buckle shapes and colors that will work into a strap system of different colors and textures. As much as passion leads to a strap purchase, I want to at least have a plan of attack to logically put together a system.

Sending a 1991 14060 to RSC for service
I bought a 1991 14060 private party and love the watch. Unfortunately, it has stopped working correctly (despite winding and a light shake, it'll stop every 30 seconds or so and won't continue). I've priced out independents and they're $500 +\-. RSC wants $700 plus parts. Given the warranty and resale bump by having an RSC service I believe I would rather go that route. I've heard horror stories of vintage dials being replaced, etc so do I write on notes dial and bezel not to be replaced? It also has what appear to be original unpolished lugs so I don't want to ruin them (it won't need much in the way of polishing as it has no significant dings). This is my first watch to send to them and I'd like a little input on the process.
