Artya Makes Another Airport-Unfriendly Item: Watch Buckle With Hidden Knife
For 2014, Swiss watch maker Artya, under the leadership of Yvan Arpa, presents a hidden knife as an option on most Artya (and Black Belt) timepieces. Part James Bond, part "I bet you didn't know I could put a knife here!," these "ardillon-style" watch strap buckles come with a small folding blade.Why? Well that is really the question, isn't it. Artya is a brand that likes to exaggerate life and that is part of their charm. For Yvan, this watch is about personal safety, as well as covertly opening private letters with clean precision. The knife will fold out from the buckle "pocket-knife" style and will be perhaps an inch or so in length. It isn't exactly "hidden" if you look closely at the buckle, but is rather out of the way and located in a place most people would not expect. Artya has some suggested uses for this small blade, but what I am more curious about is what you all feel it might be good for when in a pinch.These days what everyone ponders is, "can I take it through airport

ROO Chronograph Grey
Dear friends, thanks for gracing this thread. I am quite new with AP, have been into Rollies for awhile. Saw an AP only earlier this year and the bug has been nibbling until recently, the lust had gotten irresistable.Been ogling at the ROO Black Theme, then Panda. Tried it out at a preowned shop earlier this week, the Black Theme, and it sang to me. Things didn't work out as that piece was reserved but it was worth a look in person. The trip was well worth it! Came across the grey theme only a few days ago, my first time ever. Have seen the Black Theme, Panda and Volcano a lot in this part of the world but lesser of the Grey. I think its beautiful and a rather uncommon piece around here. While shopping around, I found this. To be perfectly honest, I have no feel of the fair price for a BNIB piece. I am not well-off but this itch needs to be scratched, so I gotta make this count. In your esteemed opinion, is this a fair price? Much appreciate if you could chime in. Cheers guys!

Finally, I'm a Breitling Owner....
I have been a Breitling admirer all these years...but been very busy buying Rolexes and APs....Finally I can satisfy my desire...today I just acquired this lovely preowned Chronomat Black Leather....couldnt be happier....Now I am feeling complete...and yes, Breitling is a trully wonderful, beautiful and robust watch....Regards,SyahrilEnvoy�� de mon SM-N950F en utilisant Tapatalk

Patek 5711/1R-001
Got my new Patek 5711/1R-001 today

5167 - second hand
Whilst setting the time on my Aquanaut this morning I noticed the following:-a) The watch does not have a hacking second hand - I assume that this is standard for the majority of Pateks?b) When adjusting the time If I adjust the time anti-clockwise (I realise that in hindsight this is probably a major no no) the second hand seems to jerk a few seconds backwards and then resumes its regular movement.Are the above observations pretty standard - for a second I though that there was a problem with the hacking function?Do people have a problem calibrating their watches without such a hacking function and is there reason that Patek choose not to include this?
