Hamilton Watches & Hollywood Movies
Logically speaking it should not matter to me whether or not a watch I like was worn by characters in movies. Though practically it does seem to matter. The reality is that seeing characters we enjoy watching in movies (or TV shows) wearing watches we like helps boost our perception of those watches and those brands. It also helps frame the personality of watches. Most watch advertising has timepieces floating around like art in space. In reality however, their true personality comes out while on the wrist. Hamilton is a brand that has had a very long relationship with Hollywood, and whose watches can be found on numerous wrists in both films and television shows.The process of getting characters in movies to wear a watch takes three forms. First, it can be an actor who is really excited about a watch and wants their characters to wear the piece. This is actor-driven placement. Second is prop master or wardrobe placement. This is where someone in the props or costume department places

Rubber strap.. Silicon or themoplastic or rubber?
Hi everyone.. I just had an opportunity to tried out the MS limited 44mm in rose gold and I immediately find the light brown rubber strap that comes OEM with the MS is exceptionally soft and comfortable compared to my normal 44s .. Did AP changed the material? Are they actually rubber or are they themoplastic or are they silicon? .. Thank you for your kind feedbacks. james

Just another AC poll...
Which of these Patek Philippe ACs do you like the most? I have narrowed down the options of case materials and dial colors to these exact three shown on my wrist below (the 5146 is mounted with a black leather strap, despite the fact that this version normally comes with a brown one). Although I am not ready to take the 5146 out of the race yet, I am leaning more towards the other two. The new 5396G looks awesome, fresh yet classic, has the hall mark deployment clasp etc. However, the 5205G is also stunning and seems a bit easier to dress down, thus probably winning in terms of versatility. What’s your pick?

New exclusive Patek Philippe
When I was at my local AD to pick up the latest Rolex Magazine Issue #2, they graciously allowed me to pre-view the installation of their new Patek boutique. There was the hint of a private invitation Galla evening, once the work is complete. Winston Sent from my iPhone 6

Paris
My wife and I are headed to Paris for thanksgiving and I was think about looking for a used GMT or sub while we are over there. Any suggestions on a good used watch store. Thanks in advance.
