Going To Be In The Netherlands In Early December? Attend Watch2008: The Independent & Innovative Watch Maker Show
Wow, I really want to go, but being in the US makes things hard. Watch2008 (Yes, there will be a Watch2009, etc...) is going to be an excellent show and dedicated to smaller and innovative watch makers that are more dedicated to the craft of making quality watches than some marketing image. An impressive list of manufacturers includes several I have never heard of, and plenty whose watches I will be lucky to ever see at all. There is something exciting about this. Especially owning one of these watch and knowing that you are likely the only person in your county (if not state) to own one.See the complete list of Watch2008 exhibitors here.Watch2008 will located at the Castle??Hoogenweerth in the Maastricht region of The Netherlands between Belgium and Germany. I've never been anywhere in the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam, and the Masstricht really couldn't be much further than Amsterdam and still in the country. It is situated in a scenic region between Germany and Belgium. Interesti

Nautilus as an everyday watch/beater? What do you think?
Good day everyone.So i'm calling guys that own either a 5711 or 5712. Still undecided between both these beautiful watches, but they are the same build so either one can be used as a reference.I currently own a Rolex Sub which was gifted to me by my Father years ago which I love. The rolex will continue to be my watch for activities like sports sports, mountain climbing, or beach watch, and also my work watch as I sometimes abuse my wrist at work.In all other circumstances I would be using the Nautilus. My outings from casual shorts/jeans dressing, to dinners, to going to the bar, and even traveling which I do once or twice a month, and just everything else.Do you think the 5711 is made to be a daily use watch? How do you think she will hold up?I am pretty wrist aware, however the watch is bound to take some hits eventually.I have seen a white dial 5711 that looked liked it was really abused, but honestly still looked really good to me. Looking for insight from guys that are using thei

Date change issue
Hi All,So I've had 2 months of trouble free time telling on my DJII. Have been wearing my Submariner the last few days but decided I'd wear my DJII today. So I wound it up and pulled one extra notch to change the date however it got stuck!!! Okay so I then pulled it out another notch to turn the time forward, spun around +48 hours, no luck. Was on the phone to Watchfinder they said to bring it in, as I was talking to the lady it clicked into date.It appears to be keeping okay time, however not the date changes at 11:45, it's always changed at 12:00 on the nose.Now my question, is it a major issue.CheersSK
