Alain Silberstein Watches took active part in the quartz boom
It is quite surprising to know that it introduced a hands free smoking ring back then which was an instant hit. Today this company deals mainly in computers and other electronic gadgets. It started its watch expedition way back in the 70's. They were a major manufacturer of quartz watches during those days. That is to say that Alain Silberstein Watches took active part in the quartz boom and were quite successful in doing so.

Very pleasant experience at AP boutique in Geneva
Today I took my brand new watch into to the AP boutique in Geneva. I wasn't quite sure what reception I would get....I've been in there a couple of times recently trying on watches. I needn't have worried. The guy who has looked after me on both of my visits greeted me warmly, and his smile did not change as I explained that I had bought a watch elsewhere for 25% less.They were charming, gave me coffee, took great care sizing my watch for me, removed the stickers, and gave it back to me in one of their nice leather travel boxes. I couldn't possibly have been better looked after.I chatted with the head watch-maker and learnt a couple of interesting little things....one needs a 1.4mm screwdriver to add/remove links from an SS 15400 and 1.2mm for a gold one....and, wait for it.....they recommend use of a watch winder.I walked out of the boutique wearing my watch, and for the first time it felt like mine.

431a meets a23322
decided to bite the bullet and treat my Navitimer to the OEM bracelet (431a) and am very happy I did....heck, my wife even noticed it and commented that she liked it. I found out how much of a b&*%ch it is to size the 7 row links, but on the flip side, man this is one super comfy bracelet and drop dead gorgeous.

Speaking of movies, product placement, etc. ...
I was watching Apollo 13 today on the way home on the train on my iPod and because the music is SO good, let it play all the way through the credits. Almost at the very end, what do you think came on the screen???

Harrods Tudor limited edition!!
Just got this the other day and wanted to share it with you folks. It's a Harrods limited edition. Harrods is a famous department store in Knightsbridge London with Green as it's corporate colour. Originally comes on a bracelet but I like it on the Nato which is included also. My first Tudor! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
