Longio Tourbillon Watches: Chinese Watchmaking Pride
While many companies won't like me saying this, a less than announced fact is that many watch makers these days have some or most of their parts made in China (movements often included). Even many high-end watch makers likely have something in the construction of the watch that is of Chinese origin. One exception are the rare (and expensive) watches with the Seal of Geneva, meaning they are the most Swiss made, "Swiss Made" watches around.Is it a bad thing that watch parts are coming from China? Not necessarily. Like most places, China produces good and bad things. In a culture that celebrates speed and volume, as well as inexpensive manufacturing, the common promise has been something like "70% of the quality that you are used to, for 30% of the price." Most manufactures simply can't say no to that. Especially with many local (outside of China) production costs. This fact has resulted in a perception that Chinese goods are not as well made as those costing more. Well, you do get what

Strap combinations for (New) AP Safari
Hi all,I'm contemplating picking up my very first Audemars Piguet and i'm quite set on getting an AP Safari. The only concern I have is that it may not be suitable to be changed up for more formal situations. (Or casual for that matter)I was wondering if anyone here had any other strap combinations for the New 2014 AP Safari other than the OEM Brown Hornback.Brown Rubber? Black Rubber? Black (or other colours) leather perhaps?Would really appreciate the help and it will aid in my decision for this beautiful watch

Thinking of getting a new PO.
Good day all, I was thinking about possibly getting a new Omega Planet ocean in the next few months (more specifically, the 2900.50.91 with the rubber strap). The thing is, I currently have the SMP bond auto (2531.80), and with all the hype of the new Planet Ocean, and new movement (Co-axel), etc. I figure I would try one out. You guys think it's worth it to get the new PO, or save my money, and just keep what I have (well, I'm going to keep it anyway lol). Any thoughts and comments on the PO are very welcome :)

Submersible Owners¡¯ Club!
I¡¯m part of many over on the Rolex side haha figured I¡¯d start a submersible one here!

Can someone point me in the right direction?
Basically I was subject to fraud where some w****er took my 2 Rolex¡¯s to sell on a commission sale agreement, all seemed legit until I saw my Watches on a site middle of the country for sale! Long story short I managed to contact fraud and police and I¡¯ve got my YM back and the Datejust hopefully is coming back Monday. My issue is my Rolex Yachtmaster 68628, 18kt gold midi, some very kind person has taken a link out of the oyster strap which in November I paid rolex ¡ê6800 for a new bracelet and now it¡¯s too small to get on my wrist as the clasp is on the last hole! Anyone got one laying about or one on there strap they don¡¯t need? Appreciate any help! Alex 07941997757
