Three Luxury Women's Watches With Real Movement; From Van Cleef & Arpels, and Chopard, Perrelet
...Watch movement.No, I don't just mean the watch movement that powers the watch. I mean something about these watches literally 'moves' in a playful sense to add interest and novelty to that watch. Men's watches don't really have things that just flail about, but women's watches are meant to attract attention, both from the wearer, and her audience.You'll notice that these three watches heavily feature the use of diamonds. Well women do like diamonds, but there is another reason. Not to sound remedial, but people like diamonds because they shine. The shine comes from light refracting off the various flat planes on the cut gem. When you are inspecting a diamond, you gently turn it in the light to admire its sparkle. Using this same concept, the designers of these three watches specifically places diamonds on the moving parts so as to enhance the sparkle factor. I do hope that "sparkle factor" now becomes an industry terms.The first watch is a new release from Van Cleef & Arpels. Th

AP ROO elephant 42mm elephant 26470ST.OO
Hi all, I’ve been a Rolex Lover forever, but I’ve flipped and sold so many that I’m tired of them now. Don’t get me wrong I love them but just fancy something different so I cleared my collection (partially) and am making room for an AP ROO 26470ST.OO. I wanted to get opinions of owning such a watch vs a Rolex Daytona or sport Rolex by an AP vet who can comment on fit, finish, feel, reliability, value etc. are they expensive to service and can dings and scartches be easily polished out?If anyone can chime in would really appreciate it! What’s a good price to pay for an AP elephant ROO? Are they easy to sell vs a Rolex and do they go up in price like Rolex do?Thanks in advance to all that chime in. Just a WIS trying to change up the collection! Also does the series of the watch and year of watch effect price?Best to all and happy hunting!MWAS

Seamaster ranchero
Here is an interesteing watch i picked up on ebay, a seamaster in the ranchero case. Some semasters from the 1950's where made with the same movement and encased in the same case as the famous ranchero. This particular one seems to be in excellent condition , with its case never having been polished.. it does need an omega crown, as often the crowns were replaced during service and where reoplaced with generic ones.here is some information onthe omega ranchero for those interested:home.xnet/~cmaddox/omega_ranchero.html

Back to work
After a great weekend, picking up my new aquanaut and going to the Champions League final, it was back to work in Qatar this morning.

5980/1A (white) or 5960/1A
Just received a call from my AD.. Out of surprise while I am STILL waiting for my 5235G (I missed the opportunity recently due to my traveling schudule), I am being offered both double sealed 5980/1A (white) and the 5960/1A both at the same price. I owned a 5980/1A briefly (for only a week) before, sold it to a good friend who love the watch more than I do during that time and now I kinda regret cos I like even more now than ever and getting a brand new double sealed is not easy. I think out of all the SS 5980, the white dial is least popular.. I only seen them in the wild couple of times while the black and blue are common (I love the blue btw) The 5960/1A is really hot right now and it is one of the latest PP, hence will be a great addition maybe might end up too popular? No? PS. I am buying the watch for my own use. Daily beater. Love to hear your thoughts.Thank you in advance for your kind feedbacks! .. Jane
