Praise for Wolf Designs
I received a Wolf Designs rotator as a gift a little while back and I currently live in Australia. It recently stopped working. Desperately I called Steve at Wolf designs in L.A. and asked him if it might be possible for me to send it to them and pay for repairs and shipping. However the air mail postage costs back and forth to Wolf Designs were prohibitive. What Steve offered then was simply for me to send him a picture of the rotator and agree to pay for the replacement rotator's shipping costs to Australia. This is an amazing example of customer service. Without me having to send the faulty winder back as proof of my complaint. He sent me a brand new 1.5 module. Well, it arrived today , beautiful packed..and working perfectly. My Rolex Submariner is ticking away nicely, safe and secure ready to wear at a moments notice. All I can say is a huge thank you to Steve and to Wolf Designs. They had absolutely no obligation to help me or get involved in any way, but they did. To someone who

La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle Awarded World Heritage Status
I absolutely had to find an internet caf¨¦ when Nicola called me with the good news that the twin cities have been awarded the status of Unesco World Heritage. And all that thanks to the legions of people having bought millions of watches made in these two cities. Thank you all.I am especially delighted by the fact that our brand's native city Le Locle has been bestowed the honours and that UNESCO has recognized that the two towns go together. Many locals still don't.What am I happy folks. I absolutely had to share it with you all. And now up again into the French wilderness till July 7 when I am back again.

My wife bought me a new Rolex GMT-II Black and Blue, so I wasn't in any hurry for another watch....yet.I came across the store's Omega display and in the 300-M/Diver section of their Omega display they had the newer Diver's in one area and three NOS Omega 300-M in the lower section.1. A women's quartz blue-wavy dial...I didn't ask about it.2. A Men's 300-M (I think black dial) wavy dial chronograph...(co-axil?) $4900 for the chronograph3. A men's 300-M black wavy dial, co-axil...(the lady told me co-axil but not master co-axil).........$3900.All brand new. As a matter of fact I know these three watches have been setting there since June-2014. June-2014, was the last time I was in that particular store and they were in there then.I know Omega qui

comparing two icons
I just had a recent INCOMING, and I thought I would share some thoughts with you on my two Pateks: the 5712 1a and the 5167a.1. The 5712 has more wrist presence, the wider lugs and the tapering of the bracelet makes the watch wear bigger than it really is. The 5167 feels way more sporty and nimble. It is the perfect sports watch in that you don't know that you are wearing it compared to some of the monster watches that have a lot of heft. For this reason it the perfect activity watch as it less likely to get caught on things. Plus the rubber will make it clean up easier. 2. The 5712 does not make as much noise as the 5167. Not hearing the whizz makes me think, are you still working?! However it does take some time to adjust to the 5167 noise, if I was not a member on this forum, I would have been concerned! Now the noise is like an old friend. 3. The 5712 feels more dressy. However both have slim profiles that will easily fit under a dress shirt cuff. Don't get me wrong,
