Ikepod Thunderbird Chronograph: Quality Watch To Compliment A Not So Quality Car
Ikepod is the watch brand behind industrial designer genius Marc Newson (from Australia). Ikepod watches each have a monocoque cases which means that the entire movement and dial are inside one unified piece of metal (for the most part). The look is a hip looking bulbous orb that looks like a "time" capsule on the wrist. While by no means inexpensive, you get a true "designer" look with Ikepod watches, which stress form and function.A few years ago when Ford re-released the Thunderbird, they commissioned Ikepod to create a limited edition series of watches for the release.

Help: Is this Audemars Diver ok?
Hey guys,I'm along time lurker on the rolexforums and I'm looking for a long time to buy an Audemars Diver. Now I'm about to pull the trigger on this Diver tomorrow. As I'm not an expert in Audemars watches, I would be happy if you could tell me if this used Diver is ok. The seller is a professional seller but doesn't know if the watch was already serviced. The watch was originally sold in 2011 but only worn a few times as the seller states.I asked for some detailed pictures. Any help will be much appreciated.Thanks in advance.Regards, Veit from Germany

Your favorite "unique" Patek Philippe watches

Whilst looking at a lot of fabulous pictures from you people I've started to pay attention to a lot of websites showing and talking about vintage Patek Philippe watches, including some very special and unique timepieces.We all know a few notorious collectors (some being more famous than others) and we've read a lot of threads on this forum talking about incredibly rare watches being sold at auctions for fortunes. With all those unique watches going around, I thought it would be nice to use this thread as a place where we can share the ones we've preferred.Obviously I am not an expert in the domain and my knowledge is limited (although I do like to read a lot about them), therefore I'd like to keep this thread very simple.
