RSW Nazca Sport Limited Edition Watches
I love how a design like that of the RSW (Rama Swiss Watch) Nazca is bound to be so polarizing. I think that RSW themselves gets a kick out of that. I mean, from a purely business-oriented motive you'd want to make timepieces that appealed to more people, not less people right? Yet despite this RSW continues to tread forth in the design of timepieces that appeal to just some people, but certainly not all people. So what about you? What are you feelings on the Nazca collection?The courage (or "audacity" as Europeans in their infinite defiance of how Americans use words call it) that RSW has actually does impress me. They are among a minority of watch brands that actually do take design risks (even though all claim to). And does this risky behavior pay off for RSW? I am not sure. Unfortunately not many of their timepieces make it to the US.

Montbrilliant Datora - impulse got the best of me...
So, I just moved to Chicago last week and decided to take a stroll and look at some watches. Well, my impulse got the best of me and I couldn't leave without something...I've been lusting after this model for awhile and while I know I could have gotten a better deal, there is nothing like walking out of an AD with a brand-new watch on your wrist :)Thoughts?

Took the 233 out for a spin
Just picked up my PAM 233 from service in Beverly Hills, and could not resist on not picking up the new Assolutamente Black strap. Love this watch!

Incoming?1st Rolex with Pics & my story
Attached are pics of my new Submariner, which I got today, along with my story. Hopefully you will all indulge me as this is quite the moment I have worked towards! I bought my first watch when I was 16, a Bulova, it was $60; I purchased it with my own money, from my first summer job. I walked an hour to the local mall to make the purchase and ever since I have always worn a watch on my wrist. Over the years, though university and marriage, I have had other $100 - $200 watches but as I have matured in life I became much more serious in wanting a watch that I could treasure, wear everyday, and eventually pass down. I signed up as a TRF member October 3rd, 2011, knowing someday I would purchase a Rolex. Over the last 6 years we, my wife and I, put our daughter through university as she did her degree and her Masters. Our daughter graduated, not owing anything, we paid it all. Making sure my daughter�s education was looked after was worth more than anything to me. So, during the la
