JC de Castelbajac Lego Watch Collection
Honestly, what can I really say about these watches that isn't clear from what you see. Designer Lego style digital timepieces from French designer JC de Castelbajac (JC DC). It is actually part of his whole future Lego wear lineup. You can see the Lego version of it in the video, and images from the real runway show below. Odd? Sure. Provocative? Maybe. "No darling, leave the Lego baseball cap on in bed, I like it that way." Weird stuff, but it is cool. The JC DC Lego watches comes in a number of colors - six versions to be exact. See them being worn all at the same time all Nicolas Hayek style.The style is 80s, very 80s - but apparently that is in right now. He seems to suggest that the future will be like the 80s. Given what is going on in the world right now, I could use some of that "America is the best place in the world" mentality these days. With the popularity of Lego as well as the positive association many people have with them, I have to say that JC DC did a nice job making

Bring a Loupe: A Spectacular Submariner, A Large Breitling Top Time, A Very Complete Memovox, An Unusual Omega Ranchero, And More
This week, Bring A Loupe focuses on a perennial favorite: vintage Omegas, from an intriguing Railmaster to an exotic Speedmaster. We will also examine one of the very first Rolex Submariners with crown guards, a reference 5513 with a flawless gilt dial. And to round things out, we have a couple of chronographs from Breitling and Universal Geneve, each with their own interesting quirks. This is your Bring A Loupe for January 8, 2016. An Early Rolex Submariner Reference 5513, A Stunning Vintage Sub With Glossy Gilt Dial 1 OF 12 This dial instantly tells you one thing: you are not looking at your average Submariner. This vintage Sub exhibits exactly what we love: a deep glossy dial and a fat case. The dial is marvelous, with a lacquer finish characteristic of the early 5513s. Until 1966, the reference 5513 boasted a glossy dial with gilt lettering ("gilt" referring to the golden color). Only after 1966 would the Submariners have the matte dials we described

5980/1r-001
How well do you guys think this watch will retain it's value? I assume production numbers are/will be quite limited and it will eventually be replaced by a RG version of 5990. I'm looking for a Patek on bracelet that isn't a steel Nautilus since I already have a 5711/1a and 5980/1a. Other option is the 5960/1a.

Rolex Deusche?
Have: vintage DJ, Explorer 21470 (post-2016)Want: White Ceramic Daytona Would having three Rolex watches make me a Rolex deusche? I used to hate Rolex...the way I used to hate BMWs; they're everywhere. But the more I learn about cars and the more I learn about watches, I've grown a finer appreciation for the level of detail and engineering that goes into every piece put together by these brands.
