Blancpain Sp¨¦cialit¨¦s Tourbillon Diamants Watch
Diamonds for diamonds sake? Maybe not. Don't overlook the importance of ludicrously gilded timepieces in the haute joaillerie watch category. While such timepieces might wreak of excess, they are often times as complex, or more complex than the mechanical creations we so love. The process of choosing and cutting diamonds (not to mention setting them) is in credibly time consuming. All that in a white gold case with a automatic tourbillon mechanical movement - and you might just start saving up gold bars for this over $1.3 million impulse buy.Read my article on the Blancpain Sp¨¦cialit¨¦s Tourbillon Diamants Watch at Haute Living here.Blancpain watches on eBay here.See Blancpain watches on Amazon here.

Just Arrived: Elgin Bumper Automatic
I bought a bumper about a month ago, but it turned out to be in really sad shape (so now it is an official parts watch). This one is in a great deal better condition. This is definitely one Elgin that I wanted to add to my collection since it was the first American made automatic movement. As I noticed on the first bumper, this style case, especially the lugs, seems prone to having the gold layer wearing in certain spots. In fact, on both cases, the wear areas are almost identical. Happily, this example is just in better shape. The dial is near pristine, but on its first COA, the hands will need to be polished.Once I cleaned a layer of crud off every surface and from every crevice, the case polished up nicely, making the wear through the 10K gold filling less noticeable.The crystal was listed as cracked, but luckily, it was just heavily scratched and buffed out nicely.

From the NY Times:After 9 Months Adrift at Sea, Survivors Tell Their Stories By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr.SAN BLAS, Mexico, Aug. 25 ¡ª Three fishermen who survived months adrift at sea in a 29-foot boat returned home on Friday to Mexico, where some greeted them as folk heroes, some hailed them as a testament to the power of faith and others cast a skeptical eye on their epic story of seamanship and survival.The three thin but healthy-looking men stepped off a plane from Los Angeles in Mexico City on Friday morning and spoke to reporters before taking flights to their hometowns in three coastal states. They faced a barrage of questions about the veracity of their story and, when asked, said they would take a lie-detector test to prove it.The three surviving men sang ballads, danced, pretended to play guitar and read aloud to each other from the Bible as they drifted for months, they said. Little things took on tremendous importance. They kept track of time with Mr. Rend¨®n¡¯s wristwatch. ¡°This

Montbrillant packaging question
My wife gave me a new Montbrillant Legende LE for Xmas. It was all complete except for the cardboard(?) white wheel (e6b) that usually comes with the documentation. I searched around the net at some that were posted for sale as complete and none included the wheel. Or at least none showed it in any pictures. Do the Montbrillant's not include the wheel? I don't want to make a trip back to the jewelry store if it doesn't come with it.
