Triple Threat: JeanRichard Introduces Three New Watch Collections
The Swiss watch brand JEANRICHARD has often been in the shadow of its better-known sister brand in the Sowind Group, Girard-Perregaux. However, with the introduction of three revamped collections ¡ª the classical 1681 Ronde and the sporty Highlands and Aquascope ¡ª the brand is making a move to establish its own distinct identity.The 1681 Ronde, described by JEANRICHARD as the most “elegant” and “traditional” of the three families, is named for the year in which the brand’s namesake, pioneering watchmaker Daniel JeanRichard, manufactured his first watch. It contains the brand’s self-winding manufacture caliber JR1000, developed in 2004, and is available in two versions, the 1681 Small Second, in a stainless steel case, with a seconds subdial and date window; and the 1681 Ronde Central Second, a three-hand model in a rose-gold case with a date window. Both models have round, 41-mm-diameter cases, white lacquered dials with baton indices and date windows

Royal Oak 25594 dial change
Hello TRF. I'm interested in this watch, but unfortunately the black dial I'm so obsessed about is hard to come by around here. Might end up with a white dial, does anyone have any experience changing the dial? Would like to know what are my options.Cheers!Edit: let me rephrase. Changing the dial should be possible, but as these are older models, what are my chances of finding a dial?

Just bought my 1st AP - and have a few questions
Hello everyone,Very happy to join the forums!My name is Larry and I just picked up my first AP.Which is also my first high end time piece.It's a stainless steel 44mm ROOI'm learning a lot from browsing the forums, but still have some questions I'm trying to get answered. So hoping someone more knowledgable can help me out.My first question is about the lume.Out of the box the watch appears to have none.It only glows after I hold it to direct light for a bit.If I wear it during the day, it doesn't glow at night....only if I charge it by holding it up to a light. Is this normal/common for a brand new watch?My second question pertains to the watch running a few seconds fast each day.I set the time to match the time.gov website24 hours later I see that it was 20 seconds ahead.Is this also normal, or something that I should bring in to get checked out.And lastly, my third question is about a watch winder.I wear this maybe once or twice a week. I don't mind the watch dying and then winding i
