Diamonds Are A... Man's Best Friend?
It is no secret that precious jewels have always featured in men's high-end, luxury watches. Yet it seems that these days more and more of these jewels are finding their way onto dials, bezels and bands, as opposed to only being incorporated in the complicated movements that power these incredible timepieces. One brand that has recently taken this new trend to the next level is Concord, with their new C1 Chronograph. The watch features a 44mm white gold case, standing 16.70mm tall and is set with enough diamonds (184 to be exact, or a cool 2.4 carats) to ensure that anyone who tries to look directly at the dial risks potential permanent blindness.However, the enhancement of the original C1 does not stop there, not by a long shot! A protective ring in white gold, fixed laterally by 7 self-blocking screws is enhanced by eight decorative elements straddling the bezel. These bastions protect a spectacular 3.30 mm thick sapphire crystal, which literally emerges from the case and displays a

An Observation I Made
I was browsing the Panerai catalog that arrived around the same time I got my PAM 320. I realised that the time on each model displayed showed the time 10:10 and for models with the date was displayed 28.I thought to myself where have I seen that display before? I realised that Rolex use the same time and date configuration on their watches for advertisements !Is Panerai playing a silent homage to Rolex for providing movements in the past or is it a coincidence?Just my thoughts!

Longines Legend Diver - a follow-up review
Last year, I posted this review:"First of all, sorry for lack of photos. My PC is unable to upload. Take a quick look on google for some images of the LLD.I had been looking at the LLD for over six months- the style just looked so super cool. Funny, because I am not into vintage watches at all. But this one just had a great look and I loved the material strap, which is said to be completely waterproof (see previous thread).So in July, I went for it.But the way, the LLD box is incredible- it's huge! I could write a whole review about the box! A masterpiece.So, my comments on the piece itself. At 42mm, with a slim strap, it is not huge but, since there is no outer bezel, it is quite a nice size. I wear mine to work with a suit- I think it looks absolutely classic with a suit or with a jacket. The double crowns give it a nice sporty feel at the same time. As per my previous thread, I am considering wearing it to the beach and ocean in April.I have to say that the LLD is easily the most co

Dodging Walls
With so much of the Royal Oak's beauty lying in its perfectly finished surfaces and facets, one must be reasonably careful to not introduce his watch to too many walls or tables. But at the same time, you've got to enjoy your watch and not sweat it too much... My question is: are there any parts of the RO that one should be particularly careful with? Parts that, if scuffed, are harder to restore come time for servicing? Or does servicing tend to eliminate just about any scuffs anywhere?
