Chinese Cell Phone Wrist Watches For U.S., Cool Enough I Don't Care If They Work Well
"Support incoming calls with big head sticker..." "Support incoming call vibration..." "Personality design and delicate craftsmanship, having flown line figure." These are some humorously translated and hefty promises for these quirky Chinese made phones that will operate on some US GSM phone carriers. All you need to do it place in your SIM card and you are good to go. Make sure your carrier is on the correct GSM frequency.I would have whined up a storm for something like this when I was a kid.

Hands-On: With The Audemars Piguet Openworked Extra-Thin Royal Oak Tourbillon (Pics + Pricing)
2012 was a big year for Audemars Piguet - and if you were one of the 175 people who joined us in celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Royal Oak in NY, you know how seriously they are taking it.This year's SIHH saw several big(ish) announcements - the introduction of the 15400 Royal Oak at 41mm, the new vintage-inpsired dial on the Jumbo, the intro of a super cool ultra-thin tourbillon, and even a ceramic Offshore diver - but the most impressive watch of the 2012 AP SIHH collection, we've yet to show you in detail.

I've been off site all week for work and I managed to pull the trigger on my very first AP. Had to have it shipped to my closest hub for pickup after hours. All day Wednesday I had to stare at my phone that said held for pick up. It was torture! Late Wednesday I was off to FedEx to pick it up.Wrapped up work for the week so I am finally able to relax and enjoy my first AP.A special thanks to Thomas (TSW) and Paul (Texex91) for guidance and a big bump for DavidSW who made everything very easy and comfortable - I appreciate the help from all.Already planning #2 - I just love it.
