Dunhill Wheel Watch Chronograph Available On James List
Dunhill, aka. A. Dunhill (Alfred Dunhill) is a English brand under the Richemont umbrella. Really rare in the US, these pieces are known to be popular in Asian (where "Western" things are often always en vogue). They do however have some nice designs that I think would appeal to more demographics. While they don't come out with a lot of new watches - some of them are quite nice with a healthy mixture of classic British appeal and avant garde interest.Alfred Dunhill himself was known for offering a lot of motoring accessories - so the brand's watches often have a high-end "car guy" feel to them. This watch is called the Wheel Watch Chronograph. It is part of a larger collection, but this one is a limited edition Chronograph model. You can search online for other Dunhill Wheel watch variants. I don't think any of them are made anymore.At first glance the watch may look like it needs crutches, being "one lugged" and all. But the interesting use of one lug on each side gives it a sort of t

Interview: Atom Moore: Watches Photographed Through The Eyes Of A Collector
Atom Moore, a New York City-based photographer, presents an exhibition of watch photography next month. "Watch Portraits" will open Thursday, September 3, 2015, with a reception at Sacred Gallery in SoHo from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. The exhibition will feature selections from two styles of photography Moore has developed over two years of working in the watch industry: macros, or extreme close-ups of one element of a modern watch; and mash-ups, or composites of images taken of several examples of the same model of vintage watch. 1 OF 9 On a searing late-August evening, Moore sat down with me in the Library Bar in the NoMad Hotel. We discussed what inspired him to photograph and collect watches. What began with a collection of Swatches (Moore owns “about 50,” by his reckoning) blossomed into a burgeoning collection that encompasses brands such as Jaeger LeCoultre and Breguet. Moore attributes this exposure to the wider world of watch collecting to R

18k Royal Oak with steel parts?
Hi AP family, A fews back, I went to look at a pre-owned solid gold Royal Oak automatic. I was surprised while inspecting it, I noticed it had a steel bracelet clasp mechanism, not gold like my President. Is this factory or could it be a replacement of some kind? If it's factory, I'm curious as to why a fine watch maker like AP would use steel parts in an all gold watch? Does Patek use any steel in the all gold Natilus? I don't recall any markings on this AP clasp. I've always wanted a Royal Oak and this certainly would'nt be a deal breaker, just puzzeling, I guess!?Is this a normal configuration?

Would this work??
I have a Seamaster 2254.50 and I love it.However, I'm considering buying a 20mm Aqua Terra bracelet to fit to my SMP.I assume it will fit to my case?2nd question: would I be able to swap clasps so that the SMP deployment clasp (how awesome is this clasp?!) goes on t the AT bracelet??I do have a quality link pin tool, so the bracelet work is under control, but does anyone know if the links are of comparable sizing??Thanks....I'm kind of new to the modern Omegas....
