Customized Vacheron Constantin Quai de l'Ile Collection Makes Me Sigh With Despair At The Sheer Pointlessness Of Message Behind This Watch
Do you recall thinking how dumb it was to combine a toaster oven and a radio? Perhaps it could have some conceivable space saving use; but really, What is the point? To prove it can be done? If you haven't heard of concept, it stems from the idea of unnecessary convergence products. You see combinations of products like this all the time, and sometimes they make more sense than others. Other times however, the whole idea is so repugnant both visually and in execution, that it just makes you upset. Not upset at the idea itself, that is all fun and games, but combining X and Y would be cool! Rather, what is disturbing is the notion that a dedicated group of otherwise intelligent people sat down for months designing, engineering, and executing a monstrosity. Having said that, the following is my perception and opinion of the new Vacheron Constanin Quai de l'Ile collection, which follows this theme.It is important to state that for the most part, I really like Vacheron Constantin as a bran

CARTIER Pantheres et Colibri Wristwatch
Lounging leisurely among the silvery stalks of grass, against a diamond-besprinkled black backdrop, Cartier's emerald-eyed panther appears pensive. Her white gold body is covered with a 270-diamond-bejewelled coat, set off with lacquered black spots. Just above her shoulders, off-centred at 10:30, two tiny, sword-shaped, gilded steel hands display the hours and minutes discreetly. They are prompted by the 9915 MC calibre housed in a white gold case of around 43 mm diameter set with 314 diamonds. This automatic movement offers over three days' autonomy, featured on the dial in an incredibly poetical style: by pressing the diamond-set crown, the wearer can contemplate the hummingbird (colibri in French) ascend into the sky whilst a golden panther cub emerges from under its mother. The height at which the bird stops indicates the power reserve. The Pantheres et Colibri wristwatch is also proposed with a diamond-paved bracelet. Price upon request. Sharmila Bertin

Chronograph Pusher Reset Button Stuck
AP ROO Chronograph pusher is stuck.. any ideas on a fix? The chronograph seconds hand was not resetting at 0 and now the pusher to reset the chronograph is stuck. Also, the seconds hand is in free-spin so if I flick my wrist the seconds hand spins freely. Is this because the reset pusher is stuck down?Thanks.

Picked up a speedy -
Well I picked up a Speedy to see if it will grow on me. Does anyone know if the is a reference of how many links are on the 12 and 6 sides. The watch came with 5 links loose. One looks like a half link. Actually I have quite some stories to share. My boss and Gen Tom Stafford are very good friends. Tom has shared quite a few wonderful Omega stories and is currently on the board of Omega. He has a Solid 18K YG speedy that was presented to him. He wears the same watch that I just picked up, SS Speedy. Thanks all.
