Maranez Layan Hands-On
It's always exciting to find a deal on a watch, and I think we've struck upon a particularly good one. You've likely never heard of Maranez watches before, neither had we until a week or so ago, but we quickly realized that this was a brand worth taking a closer look at. Their website is sparse, and doesn't reveal a whole lot about the brand. Just pictures of the watches they sell and some basic relevant details. Initially, it might not garner much trust, but one glance at the watches and you'll likely think "those are pretty nice looking"¡­and then you’ll see the prices and say "holy #$!*@". Well, Maranez was kind enough to send over a couple of models for us to play with and see if they were worth the low prices they set, or perhaps much more.Maranez is based in Thailand and seems to be a very small operation, as these boutique brands tend to be. The watches are manufactured in China, and though I can't confirm it, I suspect they are made in the same facilities as Benarus, Armid

Bond watch: PO or SMP
with all those limited editions PO's for Bond and all the promotions that Ω has been doing for the PO as a Bond watch, now i'm really confused.wasn't the SMP [skeleton hands] supposed to be the official Bond watch?or now its the PO the bond watch??or its just Ω playing commercial games?i'm not a fan of Bond, but i love Ω as a brand but i personally think all this overdoing devalue the brand.IMO.thanks.

Question about ROO 44 chronograph use
Hi Forum,I have a question regarding my 44 SS ROO's chronograph mechanism.Used my chronograph today to time some eggs. I then had to cook the eggs further as they still weren't cooked to my liking. This is when I noticed that when I restarted my chronograph, after stopping it to check on the eggs, I noticed that the watch's seconds sweep hand abruptly jumps as if it was a quartz watch tick.Has anybody experienced this with their calibre 3126 equipped watches?Thanks for your views.

Hello guys,I have a technical question for the expertsI would like to ask if i can fit the Jubilee bracelet 72610 the one installed on the DJ2, forget about the height of the case, i know the width of the lugs should be 21MM which is the same as for the deepsea, i always liked the jubilee bracelet on the deepseA, i already have the super jubilee bracelet installed on my kermit sub. I am not sure if thenew 2018 GMT jubilee bracelet would be much betterThanks for any inputSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Paying to Bypass the Line
You can pay the bouncer at a club to bypass the line. You can pay at a restaurant to get a table immediately. You can pay to avoid standing in line for rides at DisneyWorld.You can pay to drive in express lanes to get somewhere faster.Now, the latter two are more official than the former two. But the point is you can pay a business/person to get things faster in different areas of life.Has anyone paid someone at an AD to bypass the list for a hot watch?
