Invicta Reserve Excursion Swiss Chronograph Men's Watch 11007

Cartier Must Autoscaph 21 Watch Available On James List
Here is one of those interesting Cartier watches that you don't see very often. Out of production for maybe a decade now, this is a rare, true sports watch from the 'fancy watch brand.' Many of you might be familiar with the Must 21 collection from Cartier. The chronograph is probably the most well known of the line. Though the Autoscaph 21 is sportiest version around. An interesting mixture of traditional Cartier elements and a sporty look. Only thing that may prevent people from sporting the Autoscaph today is the size. Medium at best, the little guy is just a hair under 37mm wide. Then again, it is perfect for the modern lady if she likes it.Set in a steel case with a nice polished black stone cabochon in the crown, this is a Cartier watch all the way through. The bezel visually integrates into the sloped flange chapter ring right under the sapphire crystal. The steel on steel look is nice, but makes the dial look pretty small. Which it is. A design experiment if anything. Makes for

I'm sure this is a simple question... changing a Monster strap?
The last time I tried to change a strap on a watch that had holes all the way through the lugs it was a big mistake. I thought it had a spring bar, and the holes were just an easy way to compress the spring. As it turns out, it was a press-fit pin with a collar, and I bent it beyond repair. I don't want to do make another mistake because of an assumption.Thanks!Oh, the question, in case it isn't obvious, is "How do you change the strap on a Seiko Monster - particularly a 2nd generation Monster?"

My 5167a Tiffany Dial Story
First time PP buyer. I put myself on the list at every boutique that carried PP in Los Angeles and Las Vegas the summer of 2014. I only got one call on 12/1/15 and it was the Tiffany store in Beverly Hills. Purchased it next day and I wear it almost everyday! Funny thing is that about 4 months ago, I got a call from a boutique in Vegas that they had one for me to purchase. I guess they still actually do make calls to people on the list.BTW - I am now on the list for a 5712a so hope to be able to tell a story some day.

First Patek¡­.Tough Decision
I went down to the local AD in Denver this afternoon to try on some watches. I had never had a Patek on my wrist, but I have decided that I want to add one to my collection. The AD didn't have a huge selection, but I was happy to try on the 5167R-001 as well as a 5712R-001. After spending some time with both of the watches, I truly love them both. They are obviously very different, and also somewhat smaller than what I am used to. Currently I wear the larger Rolex models, and Panerai. Ultimately, I think both pieces end up in my collection at some point, but I am wondering if you guys have some insight or a suggestion as to where I should start. My budget at this time will not permit me buying two pieces, as I already have a second Rolex piece I want to add in the short term. I look forward to some feedback. Thanks, JPS
