HAUTLENCE Playground Labyrinth
Introducing the Hautlence Playground Labyrinth“Same player shoot again”! In a world where everything is super-technological and ultra-connected with garish appliances and piercing sounds that verge on noise abuse, Hautlence has crossed the line with "an entirely essential yet fundamentally useless object": Playground Labyrinth.As a watch, Playground Labyrinth has a large rectangular titanium case that's classic Hautlence fuelled by a mechanical movement with wrist straps but¡­it doesn't tell the time! Instead of the regular hour and minute hands gliding over the dial there's a beautiful maze in rose or white gold. The network of straight paths bordered by satin-finish walls with polished edges and a platinum ball is a chance to get away from the everyday chaos and return to your childhood for a bit of me-time.The calibre in the 37×43.5x13mm case has a mechanical lift to put the ball back into play once it's out of the labyrinth.Price: 12,000 CHFBy Sharmila Bertinhautlen

Just Arrived: 1953 Elgin De Luxe with Before and After pics
SFwatchguy asked for some before/after pics. This one was just dirty. The crystal needed to be buffed, but the pictures really don't show how it looked before.How it looked when I got it:Dirty dialGunk between the ridgesOne last look at the dialAfter using a soft brush via dremel, a toothbrush, and my finger nails, and a buffed crystal, here are the after pics:Ended up putting it on a Speidel center expansion band. Thought it matched the coin edge of the case, somewhat. On the dial, I used a slightly most Q-Tip and dried it up with a lint free cloth. In the process, I noticed several of the hour hash markers were loose. I ended up glueing them back into their tiny little holes and lined them up best I could.I'm not sure the photos convert how shiny the case is. A light buff really brought the shine out. The hour markers and hands are just as bright.So anyway, the case is 10K gold filled and absolutely has not brassing. I love the coin edge. It uses an adjusted 682, 17 jewel m

Omega boutiques know nothing
Went to the Omega boutique in westfield stratford to see the 007 display that ended today, the display was great with some of the watches from the films and other bond props. Got talking with a sales rep and said wouldn't be buying another Omega as they don't give discounts and all the AD's are going, he said Breitling was going the same way as they had a boutique and you can't discounts from them or from the Tag Heuer boutique thats there. Funny when I went into the Breitling boutique and Tag Heuer boutique I was offered discounts in both. Looks like it is only Omega boutiques that can't offer any discounts.
