Wake-Up Time: 5 Luxury Watches With Mechanical Alarms
They’re not as sexy as tourbillons or as impressively complicated as perpetual calendars, but mechanical alarm watches may possess one of the more useful complications for a weary traveler or an overworked executive who might need a little reminder about that big board meeting. In a way, it’s curious that more watch brands haven’t embraced them. Here are five worth noting.The Blancpain Villeret R¨¦veil GMT, part of the brand’s classically styled Villeret collection, features a mechanical alarm as well as a second-time-zone indication. A subdial at 3 o¡¯clock, with 12 hour markers and two hands, displays the time programmed for the alarm, which is set via a push-piece at 8 o¡¯clock, which engages a column wheel.? An ¡°On/Off¡± indicator at 1 o¡¯clock shows the wearer at a glance whether or not the alarm is activated. The alarm¡¯s chime is produced by a hammer striking a gong. The watch¡¯s GMT function uses a center-mounted, blued serpentine hand (a Blancpain hallmark) to

Looking for rubber strap for DSSD
Does anybody have/seen/know of a rubber strap that fits on a DSSD? I'm hoping to find a rubber strap made specifically for the DSSD which would be fitted around the lugs.Either way, if you have any pics of any DSSD on any rubber straps, please share them here.Thanks.

Thoughts on the new strap?
Hello everyone here at TRF! Admittedly I tend to be somewhat of a strap addict. I find that something as simple as a strap change can leave you feeling like you have a brand new watch on your wrist. Well this weekend my new strap arrived that I had custom made for my 5960. This strap is more casual and more beefy than the OEM strap that came with it. That said, the extra dimensions of the thicker leather add balance to the heavy platinum and makes it feel more secure in the wrist. Additionally, the lighter tan color seems a perfect choice for the summer months. Plus, it now has a little more casual aura to it which makes it feel right at home while wearing shorts/polo shirt or even jeans.I suspect I may get the thumbs down by the purists among us. And part of me wouldn't disagree with the criticism. That said, I am enjoying the look so far and find it to be a nice change that illustrates how versatile the 5960 really is.So, your thoughts please......ImageUploadedByTapatalk1431

This is why I "roll" with plastics on!!!
Today is Christmas and it was my lucky day I had waited for over a week to wrap my exhaust with DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap. Its a pretty hard job, especially doing it under the seat, but I'm happy with my first attempt.It took me about 2-3 hours to do the job.So I was pretty proud of my workmanship and I thought I'd go down to the lake and take a few photos.The photos went well as shown below.........Wrap-Rolex3-25-12-17.jpgWrap-Rolex2-25-12-17.jpgWrap-Rolex1-25-12-17.jpg However...........after I took the photos I forgot to put my watch back on my wrist and rode my bike home (2 miles) with the watch still sitting on my bike's ankle guard....I honestly forgot all about my DateJust41 and I was riding at up to 50 mph and riding around corners...It wasn't until I got home and took another look at my handiwork on the exhaust wrap that I noticed my watch still sitting on my bike Luckily my DJ41 had the plastics still on and now I'm feeling great, instead of going crazy, wondering how I co
