Adults Only: Perrelet’s Erotic Dial Limited Editions
The themes of Perrelet’s previous limited-edition Turbine watches have ranged from patriotism to auto racing to the Chinese Year of the Dragon; its latest are targeted to more, shall we say, prurient interests: the Turbine Erotic collection, which feature decidedly adult illustrations behind the spinning, dial-side rotors.So-called erotic watches ¡ª which feature bawdy images on their dials ¡ª have been around at least 200 years, and remain an obsession among some collectors. Perrelet’s venture into this niche focuses on a very specific genre called hentai, a racy style of Japanese manga aimed at adults.Each of the four dials features a different miniature hentai painting, executed primarily in black and white with just a touch of red. What gives these watches a sense of voyeurism is the design of the dial. As with all Turbine watches, the image on the dial is partially obscured behind the “turbine blades” of the rotor (as shown below) and becomes visible only whe

Gonna pull the trigger
Late 2008, I was about to finish graduate school and my reward was going to be an Omega watch that I have wanted for such a long time. But instead got rewarded with divorce papers from the now ex-wife, so now I have TWO reasons to get an Omega! haha!I really want a 2254.50, but reading that they are hard to come by and I will check out some ADs here locally in Houston tomorrow. Hopefully my search will find my missing treasure! My other choice(s) are the smaller PO and the black SMP/Bond. Does anyone have a good referral for an AD if I can't find my dream watch locally? Would at least like to save on taxes.Thanks in advance!Mike

Despite "The Letter", Prices Dropping
Despite the seen or unseen letter from Rolex to dealers allegedly stating production cuts on SS models, the classifieds here and availability in a number of places tell a different story. More and more of these watches are starting to show up at many AD¡äs all over and in the classifieds these watches are dropping in price and more being offered.

International insurance as an expat question
Hi everyone,First post here, though I've been lurking since I've been on a waiting list for a BLNR. Hoping some more experienced members can steer me in the right direction.Here's the situation. I'm an expat in Shenzhen, China and I've been on waiting lists at 3 AD's in Hong Kong since April. My job has me traveling around Asia Pacific quite often, but the BLNR is such a hot item in Asia that they are nowhere to be found. I'll be in North and Central America on business starting tomorrow and will be going through the Newark airport, Houston airport, spending some time in San Jose, Costa Rica and a little less time in San Francisco. Hoping to find the BLNR at one of those locations.In case I do, I want to have some info on buying insurance for a Rolex as an expat. I rent my apartment here in Shenzhen, so homeowners insurance with a rider for the watch is not an option (have been an expat out here for about 9 years and I don't own any property back in the US). I'd like to look at a
