Is Luxury Watch Marketing Failing?
It is a hot late-Summer day in the Lower East Side of people-busy Manhattan, and strolling down the street, I notice the side of a brick building painted with a 12-foot tall advertisement for a luxury watch company. It would actually be easy to miss noticing it above the corner market below, situated at the ground floor of the aging residential structure, and the ad ¨C like so many of its kin ¨C?simply has the name of a brand and the picture of a watch, with an arguably tantalizing, yet ambiguous, slogan.Around the planet, in Hong Kong, watch ads litter the streets, buses, and billboards. It is difficult to travel more than a few steps in any commercial area and remove yourself from a line-of-sight view with a poster or sign marketing a watch maker ¨C often with a regional or international celebrity wearing the product. In a dark, dirty, and ill-smelling alley behind the main thoroughfare, the walls are lined with evenly spaced posters for some of the world's top luxury watch makers.Somew

It must be spring... I'm in love again!
I fell in love reading the post "Applied vs Non-applied." SLRdude posted a photo of the 2254 America's Cup Seamaster. It was love at first sight. Gotta have! Gotta have! Gotta have!Does any one know of one for sale? (Mid-size)? I've an aching in my loins (Whatever that means?) Truly, if i find and buy one, my wife will kill me. But yea, I will die a happy man. I'm sure you know the feeling.KarlB-"It actually DID exist, but it was discontinued a couple of years ago.Originally a limited edition with America's Cup printed on the dial, it was so popular that Omega released a non LE version of it.It was a 2254 with applied markers and a WG bezel. They still show up on sales corners every now and then."

First Kinetic
As for this thread:Which Kinetic?I decided to buy the white and the blue, so yesterday arrived the white...I like it a lot, the only thing I dislike is that it takes an eternity to charge, according to the user manual (and it's true ) you have to swing it 250 times, to have it charged for one and a half day , if it's a daily wearer, that won't be a problem...Well, for less than $150, I will have my mouth shut Next time, a Kinetic Direct Drive will be the choice Maybe I will have to use it continuosly for some days, until it get enough charge to last for at least 4 monthsanyway a great watch

AP ROC steel black vs rolex daytona white gold black racing dial
Can get both at roughly same price...which one to buy and why?

Deployant clasp is it an unnecessary aftermarket luxury?
I have been thinking about getting a deployant for my 5127R.What are the pros and cons?To my way of thinking, they add further presence and safety for the watch. But they are not cheap to buy and I doubt very much, that you would get much extra should you sell the watch, though it would be a good bargaining feature.Does it centralised the watch on your wrist?Currently on the clasp, mine sits further towards the 12 o'clock position.
