10 Interesting Facts About Marc Newson's Watch Design Work At Ikepod
Whether or not Apple decides to release an iWatch, iTime, iWhateversmartwatch in a few hours or a few months (UPDATE: They did. See the Apple Watch here), we know that the accomplished Australian industrial designer Marc Newson will more than likely be a big part of the design process of this upcoming and highly anticipated wearable computing device. A few days ago, I discussed the implications and virtues of Apple's decision to have Marc Newson join Jony Ive in designing products at the company. You cannot discuss Marc Newson and watches without talking at length about Ikepod.Ikepod is a luxury watch brand and it is technically still around, but it really isn't a big deal any longer - at least not like it was in the late 1990s and early 2000s. What happened? In addition to filing for bankruptcy in about 2003 and later being purchased by new investors, Marc Newson and Ikepod parted ways back in 2012.Even though the company has had its ups and downs from the start, the biggest asset of

Time for another game of.. Reeeeal or faaaake! UPDATE: I BOUGHT IT!
I'm actually coming to the point where when folks do these posts, I am actually able to find multiple things wrong with the watch. So that said, this looks legit to me. BUT I am nowhere near the Jedi Master status of many of the folks on the board. Please have a look for me if you would.Much Appreciated!

Pics of Pams with Mausers wanted
Thought I had finally put an end to the strap madness, but… Yesterday I ordered a Mauser from Micah, and 3 Kodiak waterproof straps from tcstraps, I have to say that Elliot from Tcstraps which is on this forum is a great guy to do business with, in all It'll be 9 straps that I got from him, in the straps that I ordered yesterday, all the straps except one come with a sewn in pre V buckle in size 22mm, and 1 in 24mm (a Kodiak, the Mauser comes, at my request, with a 22mm buckle), the 24 is ok for my 233, but they just seem too big for my 28 and 82, the 22mm seem more appropriate, that's mainly the reason why I'm giving away my Pre V by MP with a PVD buckle, see my thread about the Mario Paci being given free of charge, still haven't got someone who needs/wants one so the first person who wants it gets it, the buckle just seems too big for the watch.So waiting impatiently for my 4 straps to arrive, not very soon since the Mauser and 1 of the 3 Kodiaks are custom made and need about

First post - New 2017 Black GMTII - Xmas present
Hi All,I'd been after a new Rolex GMT II for sometime, I had passed through Heathrow a few times and only ever seen a SS/Gold GMT II in stock. I was really hankering after a SS black or the black/blue BLNR GMT II but only recently started to pursue it with any real anger. I thought I'd try and get a BLNR model first but these are proving very hard to obtain (I called a few contacts in Switzerland, Germany, Turkey (as I knew of the acute shortage in the UK) without luck. I didn't want to go to grey market and pay a premium (and take a risk of getting issues post sale) so decided to 3 days before Xmas (rather ambitiously) look for a SS model.I went to nearly every Rolex dealer in Central London in person (after first trying my local AD's) and as you can imagine was pleasantly smiled at but told that any SS sport model watch is in high demand and stocks are very low or order books closed with long waiting lists and a potential price rise due in 2018.I did manage to find 2 AD's with a SS/G
