Swatch Celebrates The 2010 Vancouver Olympics: Happy Games, Sporty Friends, & To The Top Watches
Fun watches for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics from Swiss Swatch. These seasonal watches are pretty neat - for the occasion. Here is a mini review of the trio. Each has a function aside from being Olympics related, that is except the "Sporty Friends" watch, which has an image of the Vancouver Olympics cartoon mascots. Back to that in a moment. By the way, this month I am giving one of each of these watches away on Luxistwatches-dealer. Once a week until they are all handed out. To enter you can look for the giveaway posts here at my Luxist page.The three watches aren't a limited edition as far as I know, but are likely only part of a special production for this season and after that will end. So they are good thing to get if these winter Olympics games is special to you. Prices are quite reasonable at between $55 - $110 dollars each.Most mainstream of the three is the Swatch "To the Top" watch, that is 41mm wide in plastic (these are Swatches, they are most all in plastic). It has

My new to me 26022 with grey dial
I've always loved the 39mm ROC. Last year I got a white dial 25860 as I wanted to wear this to my wedding. I'm in love with the bracelet, dial, and overall design. I've also been obsessed with the rose gold ROC with grey dial and had the fortune of getting one of these this past week. It's a bit ridiculous to have two of the same model watches, but I think they're different enough to both be in the collection.

Seamaster: Pro vs. Pro GMT?
Along with about 10 other watches I'm considering due to my indecisiveness, the Seamaster Pro vs. the Seamaster Pro GMT are in the running. The slightly higher price on the GMT is not a dealbreaker. Any thoughts from the Omega Seamaster Pro fans?Thank you all!

scratch on Rolex glass (maybe) - what to do?
Hello all :) I just joined to ask for some honest advice...Today I took my Rolex watch to a jeweller shop that buys secondhand watches today as I'm thinking of selling it. I find it quite heavy on my wrist and I prefer to wear lighter watches.Well, they took it away to the back of the shop to inspect it, I was quite worried as I could not see what was happening to it... Anyway they came back with it and said there was a scratch on the glass.Actually at first they said there was a scratch on the dial... which scared me as the watch has never been opened since it was bought new (I am the original owner), so I know it can't have a scratch on the dial as it has never been touched inside since it left the Rolex factory... then he clarified it was a scratch on the glass. I am actually quite surprised because I thought sapphire glass is almost scratchproof and I don't own any diamonds that can scratch it.I can't see a scratch with my eye but admittedly I don't have a special magnifying glas
