President Bill Clinton Visits Detroit-Based Shinola
President Bill Clinton, founder of Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Foundation, visited Shinola in Detroit today. The Foundation has economic empowerment as a core mission, so the visit to Detroit makes sense. It doesn't hurt that Mr. Clinton is a major watch collector. Clinton wore a Timex Ironman and LIP watch while in office, but since has been seen wearing watches made by Jaeger-LeCoultre, Roger Dubuis, Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Panerai.The Detroit watch factory (we also visited about a year ago) is inside the College for Creative Studies in Midtown Detroit. Shinola also makes bicycles, journals, leather goods, and yes, that famous shoe polish.President Clinton said, "Shinola is a great example of how we can continue to build and expand America's manufacturing capabilities while creating jobs. It's exciting to see how the brand is playing its part in the economic revitalization that's happening in the city of Detroit." Also touring the factory with Clinton were Detroit Ma

Help a new guy feel better
Greetings all. This is my first post. I have a Seadweller, a TT Sub, and yesterday I bought a GMT II black and red bezel. The AD and the price aren't important - the salesman tried to draw me in by pointing out that there was an "error" on the dial. The "II" is not in roman numerals. I didn't think much of it, and that's not why I bought it. I just *bought it*. I can afford it, but now I have three Rolexes to go along with a Cartier and a few Omegas. It feels excessive.Help me feel better about it all. Please.

15400 on rubber strap?
While I love the bracelet, I've always wondered what the 15400 would look like on an AP rubber strap. Anyone out there do this mod yet? I suspect it will have a similar look to the RO on leather that I've seen some great pics of here on the forum (which I am a fan of) but curious if anyone has actually done the conversion with rubber.

My Submariner Story
As a kid I would go to D.C. on school field trips and we would buy fake Rolexes. I was drawn to them because of the unique Cyclops date and the fact that maybe you could fool someone in to thinking it was real. As I grew older and graduated college I remember being on the subway on the way to the US Open with my Dad and seeing a guy (not much older than I was at the time) wearing a Black SS Submariner. The watch was perfect. It was luxurious but not too formal. It was sporty but not too casual. It was a Rolex but not as ostentatious as the all gold ones you would see Gordon Gekko type people wear. I began to wonder if it was fake or how did he get the money to buy that if it was real, more importantly just how far off his lifestyle was from mine. I didn¡¯t have hardly any money at the time and the thought of buying a Rolex could not have been more foreign. It made me want to be in the position to buy that watch and I knew if I worked hard enough I could. Years went on and I saw
