Here we'll explain what makes this Breguet watch so special, and give you the list of each category winner at this year's Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve.

Strap with deployment clasp question
I have 6 1/2 inch wrists. I like a shorter strap so there is not so much strap past the buckle. With a butterfly type deployment clasp, on a regular length strap, that shouldn't be a concern since the side of the strap with the holes is on the inside, correct? Thanks

Divers vs Swimmers
For people like us, (prepared to split a hair 50 ways before breakfast) I have always been slightly surprised at the reluctance to stick to the official designation of a divers watch.So, for a start, to be classified as a diver's watch according to ISO 6425, you need to have the watch marked with the words: "DIVER’S WATCH XXX M" where xxx indicates the allowed depth in meters.There is of course more tests, pressure and temperature, but I guess it is easy to just say, it's got a rotating bezel, it must be a divers watch

Rolex Submariner Identificatiom
Hello, I plan on acquiring this Submariner within the next few days. From what I can see this looks ok but I'm no expert. I'm meeting at the AD to purchase but I don't want to waste any of my time if it is suspect in the first place. Thanks for any feedback. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

Rolex & Its Customers
A recent thread (about Swiss attitudes toward Rolex) got me thinking about the extent to which Rolex interacts with its customers I know AP owns some of its own boutiques, offers appointment-only lounges, and has invited customers to factory tours. Patek has factory tours and other events for VIPs -- and for us common folk, they have their museum in Geneva. I'm sure other brands have similar practices. How often does Rolex deal with its own customers? Do they own any of the retail stores or service centers? Has anyone on TRF ever been invited to an event by Rolex itself (and not by an AD)? Personally, the arms-length approach doesn't bother me -- I'm just an enthusiast and am nowhere close to a major customer. But for those who buy a large quantity of precious metal (or diamond/gem studded) Rolex watches, does Rolex ever make the relationship more personal?
