Nothing Says 'Stingray' Like An Extremely Boring Charmex Watch
I don't blame you if you nodded off for a moment. These are incredibly mundane watches, enough so to put you to sleep. They talk about Rolex being an old guy's watch. No. THIS is an old guy's watch. Talk about uninspired and boring. This represents what is bad about classic design. No risks, nothing interesting. Just plain 'bleh.' It is not that the Charmex Stingray is ugly, it just makes me want to pass out with boredom.The Stingray name has been given to so many cool things. Sports cars, sporty sunglasses, sport boats, a cool cousin of the shark, and now one of the worlds most blase representation of the time. Why this name?

Introducing: The Piaget Emperador Coussin XL 700P (And An Old Japan Vs. Switzerland Controversy Revi

Caliber 7P by the way was a very important step for Piaget and its small size (especially relative to the first commercial Swiss quartz caliber, Beta 21) made it possible for the firm to do amazing pieces like this one. The new caliber 700P is very different, however: it uses a conventional mechanical going train, powered by a micro rotor that winds the mainspring. At the end of the gear train there's no escapement; instead, there is a generator whose speed of rotation is controlled by a quartz timing package. The micro-rotor is at the 9-10 o'cloc

5146 help
Hi guys,Once again I a considering the 5146. This time I am trying to justify the 5146P instead of the 5146 G slate dial.I really love the look of the 5146P ebony dial however, I am not sure i like the price difference. I feel the G is very similar to the P version so why spend so much money. What are your thoughts?

Best 3rd party deployant clasps and straps?
So I'm interested in swapping the OEM buckle strap to deployant, but not really interested in paying $400 for the deployant itself, plus another $200 for an OEM strap. Does anyone have any 3rd party recommendations for both? Thanks.

Help me understand the random serial number
Can random Rolex serial numbers start with a letter and then a series of numbers or must they always start with a number and then a combination of letters and numbers to follow?
