How Facebook Fans Designed A Unique Rpaige Watch For Auction
Did you ever try to get one of the big brand watch companies to make a watch just for you?? Well, they do...but for a price that would make a colossal hangover seem like distant bells ringing.So, when my watch company's Facebook page, Rpaige Watch Co., reached 5,000 likes, I decided that it would interesting and fun to celebrate the milestone by having my Facebook followers, and visitors, collectively design one of my watches...then auction it off.I had no insights or expectations as to whether it would be a success or failure, and that really wasn't the issue��I just thought it would be a fun for them and a great promotional event and fun for me.Here was the original post of the contest:I'd like to invite all of you in designing a new Rpaige Wrocket watch that I will auction off on our Facebook page when it's completed.Here's how it will work:1. The group picks a case material��. either Steel or titanium��2.The group picks a dial from several that I'll post ��.I can post up to 20 dials��3.

4 weeks with Diver as only watch (sort of)
I just spent four wonderful weeks on a road trip around Italy (Tuscany and Umbria mostly). After much consideration I decided on having my SS Diver accompany me (with my Exp II as reserve back-up).Wearing the Diver all day every day for 4 weeks was a joy. I became more relaxed about the piece than ever before....not quite treating it as a beater, but simply enjoying it and not worrying about any wear-and-tear. I found it to be more adaptable to different situations than I had ever imagined, and as comfortable as one could wish for.If there's anyone out there who's worried about having the Diver as an only watch....don't be! I love mine more than ever.

Big day!
I have had a really good year and decided to reward my myself with a new 15400. Plus 2 others! Just revived a large box today, this was better than Christmas. Great day and huge thanks to George of Govberg watches.

Bracelet and case polishing for speedy pro in Toronto?
heres the deal. I recently purchased a used moonwatch and my usual watchmaker opened it up and mechanicals are all in great condition. Previous owner didn't know service history as he was 2nd owner and only had the watch for about a year, so I was quite happy hearing this. Now being a 8-9 year old watch the bracelet needs a good polish as a couple of links look like they were perhaps introduced to the concrete pavement in a fall. So because I only want the bracelet polished anyone know a omega watchmaker in the greater Toronto area that can give the speedy bracelet a once over. Due to the mix of brush and polish on the bracelet I am guessing a special technique might be involved for those tiny strips of polished metal in the bracelet Thanks in advance
