Apple Hires Marc Newson, iWatch Smartwatch Watches Likely To Be Designed With His Help
Big news today as Apple has announced its official hiring of Australian designer Marc Newson, who will work directly with Apple's head of design (Sir) Jonathan Ive. My understanding is that Newson will retain his ability to work with third party clients, but don't expect him to be designing watches for anyone else. Apple hasn't specified what Marc Newson will be working on specifically, but I believe it is safe to say that his first major projects will be on the iWatch (or iTime, or whatever Apple decides to call its upcoming smartwatch device).Of course, the big question everyone has is whether or not Apple will announce a smartwatch device next week during their annual new product announcement conference. Many people seem very confident that Apple will release a smartwatch this year or in early 2015, but I am not so convinced.

Would you buy the same model but in a different color variation?
Many watches have different face, band combinations to option. Some classic styles just draw my eye and recently I had been contemplating a different face and band combination of the same watch. Normally I would say "no" to buying the same watch. What are your thoughts?

Patek Mechanical Reliability and Durability
I have been searching Google and this forum and can't seem to find much information to help me answer this question how mechanically durable and reliable are Patek movements, especially compared with Rolex movements?Here's some background for why I am asking this question:I am considering getting a Patek for my next watch. I'm drawn to Patek because of its history, quality of finishing, and value retention, while also being relatively understated. I also really like the look of a number of their watches. I currently wear a SS Daytona most days. I love the watch, but one thing I don't always like is the attention it gets and the assumptions that some might make about me because I wear a Rolex. One thing undeniably good about Rolex is how durable and reliable their watches are. Rolex does a good job touting the testing their watches go through and it seems there are countless stories of Rolex watches being worn every day as the owner's only watch and lasting decades, as well as stories
