Temption CM01 Watch
As a fan of their work, we try to promote the products of boutique German watch maker?Temption whenever possible. The very niche brand offers up some unique creations which we've loved in the past. New for 2013, Temption will debut the simple CM01 watch. A minimalist three-hand automatic with a serious cyclops magnifier for the date. Rolex popularized the magnifier window to make reading the date easier. Since then these have been controversial from a style perspective. The one on the CM01 is said to make the date window appear quite large. In recent years we've seen very few cyclops magnifier windows.The simple steel case is 43mm wide and under 10mm thick. It contains a Swiss ETA 2892 or Soprod equivalent automatic movement - which is always decorated nicely. The minimalist dial is legible and attractive, though in my opinion the hands are too short. Temption's Klaus Ulrbrich doesn't often produce hands which are too short so I am curious as to why it happened here. Like all Temption

Most Extreme Zenith Defy Extreme Yet! The Zenith Defy Xtreme Stealth Limited Edition Watch
There might have not been enough use of the word "extreme" in the title of this posting, but Zenith consistently abuses this moniker so I shall too. After the over abundance of the "extreme" label on most items a few years ago, I thought the extreme nature of product would subside. Apparently the marketing people at Zenith are unaware of the "extreme" faux-pas, or are serious as to the extreme nature of the watch, which it is.This new limited edition Zenith Defy Extreme Stealth is undeniably the sexiest thus far. The black materials with the matte red hands and registers on the face are simply too well done to be thrown in the pile of other red and black watches. What likely separates the red (on the Zenith Defy Extreme from other red colors on watches) is the application of the red on the hands and face. While most watches have colors literally painted on, it appears as though Zenith takes a different approach. Painted materials always have at least a bit of a sheen or gloss. At the v

Hi allJust wanted to share a shot of this. I've seen the newer version of this and to me it doesn't look as good as this one. In my opinion this is a great beater watch and looks great. CheersAnujSent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Had the call...
Following on from my thread asking your thoughts on the blue 5711 a few weeks back, I put my name down. I was told that they would have an idea on allocation next February.Currently on a two week med cruise and last week I had a call to say that they had unexpectedly received one and it was mine if I wanted. Wouldn't hold it until my return so I had to bank transfer the funds. That was done and I'll pick it up next week. I'm guessing I only had to wait 6 weeks, so I've been quite lucky.Never had a Patek and not bought from that shop before, though they own a small chain of Rolex AD's and I'm a fairly good customer.

Most versatile Rolex reference?
Hi all,In lieu of the new 126710 BLRO, there has been discussion that the 16710 is a more versatile timepiece. I personally enjoy the options of swapping out the 3 aluminum bezel inserts, and oyster bracelet to jubilee. A bezel insert change gives the timepiece a completely different look, and I feel as though I'm wearing a new watch. Some members have claimed to get bored or styles change, and end up flipping their timepiece for a new one. With the 16710 you essentially have 1 watch with 6 different looks (9 if you have a nato strap).I'm a proud owner of the 6 in 1 club, and love the variety. Do any other owners of the 16710 ever get bored with this reference? In your opinion, what is the most versatile Rolex reference?? Cheers!
