Limited Edition Formex DS 2000 Chronograph Makes Perfect 'Shop Watch'
I've talked about Formex watches before, but this model is my favorite. This is the limited edition Formex DS 2000, which means it has a Valjoux 7750 movement and a nice black rotating bezel (as opposed to the silver colored version of the non limited edition quartz model). This handsome technical watch is from a maker of decidedly race inspired timepieces. Built with their customary shock absorber protection device. The watches can usually take some brutal movement and forces.Though one thing I cannot figure out, and perhaps some one can inform me. Why is it that each Formex watch is a "Formex 4 Speed." Yes that sounds pretty cool, but watches don't have speeds, I am not sure what each Formex watch has 4 of, and 4 speed cars are very30 years ago. Regardless, it still have a nice ring to it. Otherwise, you will be impressed by the interesting watch that Formex has to offer. Most of the watches come in both mechanical and quartz movements as well.One of the features you will appreciate

Replacing Clasp Extension Pin
I went to put on my 2.5 year old Black Seamaster Chrono Diver and found the clasp extension split in two while opening it. There is a small flanged pin that links the double arm and single arm segments that simply snapped. It is a solid pin that is flanged on each end, so I am wondering the proper way to repair it? Would you go with a solid pin that is hammered on both ends to create the flanges and looks original, or a pin with threaded flange inserts at each end? This is probably a fairly common issue, the repair itself is likely very simple, but I want it done right and as close to OEM as reasonable. What is the correct way to repair this?Thanks.

Back in Black
After owning a white dial 15400 very briefly I thought that perhaps the 41mm Royal Oak was just not for me. I remember being somewhat disappointed opening the box and seeing that the dial was more of a silver color still beautiful but not what I was expecting. Fast forward 7 months and 4 watches later a friend of mine told me I should try the black dial 15400 as the pics just can not do it justice. After a bit of hesitation and a quick flip of a Daytona that lasted about 3 hours I took their advice and damn if this thing is not awesome Thanks again Thanh for all your help buddy Glad to be back in the AP fold again
