Cartier Santos watch features a stainless steel case presented on a black alligator-leather
Cartier Santos watch features a stainless steel case presented on a black alligator-leather band fitted with Cartier's patented deployment-buckle folding clasp. The square-shaped case of the watch measures 38 mm in diameter. The over-sized eye-catching crown reflects the design of the original Cartier Santos watches. The crown is placed between two big push-buttons for setting the chronograph function.

Latest incoming Speedie DSOM
....yes another incoming for me this year. Hopefully the last till summer next year as I'm skint!Been thinking of a Tag Heuer Monaco, Rolex Hulk or BLNR but didn't want to commit to a purchase this year. Then this beast arrived at my AD. Not sure what drew me to it as I hate black watches but this is something else! The ceramic flips from a deep black to a shade of grey, it has polished and brushed finishes on the casing...it shouldn't work in theory but after staring at it for a while I'm drawn to it. It's almost as if Omega stole some of Rolex's fairy dust and sprinkled it on this piece. It's been a while since I've been so mesmerised over a watch that I couldn't wait! Don't get me wrong, I love all the other watches in the collection but this is definitely special in its own right. I present to you the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon:Now this puts me in a predicament. For insurance purposes, I can't insure the older Speedmaster or Navitimer as this needs to be covered instea

Swatch Group is ****ing me off!
Well I've had my hamilton Khaki Chrono at my watchmaker for a little while and asked him to replace the crystal (while he was doing a COA). After receiving two generic replacement crystals that don't quite fit properly, he wanted to get one from Swatch Group (or the parts vendor in the states that deals with them) and they won't sell him one. I know they had restricted ETA movements, but didn't realize that they were attempting the same thing with parts. I know why they are doing it, they want to get people to send their watches to the Swatch service centers for any work. I would rather give a watchmaker I know the business, and not have to send it back to Swatch Group. Seems like a very shortsighted business decision. I may be more inclined to buy a different brand if I don't have to deal with that stuff.

In the mailbox today
I have a weakness for older Bulovas, and I picked one up pretty cheap last week. It came today so here it is:I have several from the 70's all the way back to the 20's, mens and ladies. Any one mind if I post one every few days? Feel free to add your recent acquisitions too.
