Thoughts on "II"
I find it fascinating that Rolex chooses to name their watches as if they are heirs to a old money family fortune, e.g., Explorer II, Day-Date II, Yacht Master II, GMT Master II. Don't get me wrong...I think its a great strategy. Present the image of a great lineage of watches (which of course it is) that slowly evolves and improves with each successive generation.....but I would imagine that it is also done to keep those great Rolex model names in play. Why throw away all the marketing and intellectual property equity built up meticulously over a long period of time, right? The Explorer II sounds much better than the Spelunker II, for example. The "Boatster" just doesn't seem right for the YM. But what criteria determine when they choose to use the "II" and when they don't. Why isn't the 116710 the GMT Master III? The Deep Sea not the Sea Dweller II Deep Sea? The new WG Sub not the Submariner II? Oh well, enough of this....I have to go to work.-Ross

I'm Really Bummed - Suggestions?
Last night I pulled my Breitling Chrono GT out of the box to get it ready to wear today, and I noticed that the pointer at 12:00 is missing! I had taken several pictures of it lately, so I went back to see if the pointer was in the pictures I had taken. It was there for the earlier pictures, but not for the later ones. I can't believe I didn't notice it missing when I took them.I live in a small town in Western North Carolina, and I have no idea where an AD might be located. In any event, it probably isn't close. I'm wondering if anyone on this forum can tell me whether I could order a new one along with the screw through the mail, and how I would go about doing it. Thanks!Before...After...

No multi-talk about the multi-touch!
Other than member AutoMovt, I don't believe I have seen anyone claim to own one of these. This is Hamilton's version of Swatch Group brandmate Tissot T-Touch, a very popular line of watches. Anyone own either or have opinions about these unique quartz time pieces?pix from ewatches
