Magrette Moana Pacific Diver Watch
Heads up Magrette fans, your favorite New Zealand watch maker is about to release a new limited edition model - their first diving watch. Being an enthusiastic lover of diving watches, I am thrilled. Best part is that in addition to the watch being a new model, the case and dial are much upgraded, taking the brand to yet another high level. The watch is the Magrette Moana Pacific Diver, the a new diving watch version of the Moana Pacific watch that I reviewed here. I continue talking about Magrette watches because I keep hearing from my reader that you love them - good thing I share the same sentiment.One thing that became apparent to me as I studied this watch is that Magrette is finally getting a distinct character - which is a good thing. Branding is a complex endeavor (for new and old brands alike). In addition to getting a signature look, Magrette is getting real character. This is a type of personality that we mentally attribute to certain items and products. What personality do

Unserviceable Rolex ! :)
I was browsing through the bay yesterday, and came up with this (picture not necessary!): ROLEX GMT MASTER II ICESTAINLESS STEEL WATCH THAT IS COMPLETELY COVERED IN DIAMONDS 29 CARATS PERFECTLY CALIBRATED, GUARANTEED, BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM DIAMONDSVS CLARITY. F COLOR.THIS IS A MODEL # 116710, STAINLESS STEEL WATCH WITH INSIDE BEZEL ENGRAVINGS. THE HEAD, MOVEMENT AND DIAL HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY COVERED IN DIAMONDS. THE BAND AND BEZEL ARE 18K WHITE GOLD. THIS IS WATCH LOOKS IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL ROLEX ICE THE ONE THAT ROLEX MADE LESS THAN 20 OF AND IT RETAILS FOR $500,000. YOU CAN OWN THIS ONE FOR UNDER $200,000.Anyways, I was in a playing mood, so I sent them the following email:"Would Rolex service the watch, considering it is no longer "original catalog"?"And this morning is the answer: I wouldn't even ask them. Rolex charges too much and they take too long. We have a Rolex certified watch tech who services our watches:Your watch comes with the full 2 year Rolex certified watch technici

Would you buy a quartz if it "swept"
So Boscoe's thread on quartz got me thinking. What is it about the auto's I love so much. Yes, there's a bunch of small reasons. But when I look at them on the wrist the glaring reason is I love the clean sweeping motion my auto's second hands give me. I don't like the 'click, click' of the quartz second hand.So here's my question. If someone made a quartz watch that was identical to it's auto version in every way AND had a sweeping second hand - would you buy it if it was priced the same as a 'regular ticking quartz'? Given an auto is usually much more expensive than a quartz, would it still be worth it if it was externally indistinguishable?Vote & tell us why!

Snoopy Speedmaster Professional
Sad to say that my Snoopy/Speedy has to find a new home. Wanted to post some pics in case I ever need to look back at them as I kick myself in the rear for getting rid of such a beautiful watch! RS
