Former Vertu Luxury Phone Designer Joins MetaWatch For the Meta "Premium" Smartwatch
It is 2014 and guess what, the people making smartwatches are about ready for them to become mainstream. MetaWatch is going down that road with a new line of "real people friendly" smartwatches known simply as the "Meta." The real question is whether mainstream consumers are ready for it too. 2013 was the year the smartwatch made headlines. We saw the ultra indie success of watches like the Pebble, and the big boys make a serious entrance into the smartwatch market with the Samsung Galaxy Gear and the Sony Smartwatch 2. If 2013 was the year the public became aware of the smartwatch, will 2014 be the year the public actually wants to wear them?There are two major challenges for smartwatches right now. First, is functionality and second is fashionability. While the latter might sound less intellectual, it is just as important because these are things people are actually going to wear. It is generally agreed that most smartwatches are still developing with regards to their utility and fun

Liquid Metal ...Sold out?!?
This is what my AD tells me...He was never able to get one in stock, and now tells me that they are sold out and he won't be getting one.When you hear that something is a limited edition, it's usually a sales ploy..I've seen any shortage of 'limited editions' before.I guess I should have jumped on it when I had the chance.I tried it on at the Omega Boutique in NYC last week....it is absolutely stunning!Better than any photo can possibly show....heads and shoulders above the sub-cOnly reason I didn't jump was because I was sure that my AD would beat the price...

Please Help Me Identify this Speedy
Anyone know the model number and availability? What should I expect to pay for it?

5960/1a - Two Random Pictures
Did I mention this bracelet is the most comfortable I've worn (ap,nautilus,oyster)?Since there is such a huge disparity between the press pics of this watch and how it looks in person (read: bracelet looks fugly blingy over the top in press pics and simply awesome in person) and also since there aren't too many real life pics I figure why not post two more in hopes of enabling others to purchase this great piece

Advice on how to deal with this service story
Nov 15/17 took my 36mm datejust in to an ex AD to have it sent off to Rolex for service. Dec 16, got a call from the ( ex dealer) that Rolex service center had received the watch and decided a dial and crown service were needed. I OK'd the repairs. 5 weeks Jan 25, later the ex dealer called to say that Rolex required payment to send the watch back. Total $1950 and the watch would be shipped back to them in two days as Rolex sends everything 2nd day. Payment was made on Jan 25, still no watch as of Feb1. Called ex dealer and got this response: Rolex serviced the watch and it should be back Feb 7th. WTF!This little journey has stopped my interest in a Daytona, or Rolex period. Any opinions as to how much is Rolex and how much the ex dealer in this scenario? First time I have ever had a problem with servicing....
