IWC New Pilot Watches For 2012
If you are a dedicated watch follower, then by now you know that 2012 is the year of the Pilot watch for IWC. Last week I shared my thoughts on the new for 2012 IWC Pilot Chronograph Top Gun Miramar watch here. Now I get to share with you the entire collection of new Pilot watches from the brand. You'll notice that there are more new Top Gun watches including a non-chronograph automatic with a seven day power reserve, some updated classics, and a new very much modern military look to the pieces.None of the new pilot watches are going to make you do a double take. These are all very sober IWC Pilot watches with a lot of sales appeal and handsome looks. Those looking for something wildly new are going to be disappointed, but those looking for more variations and modern approaches to classic IWC pilot watch designs will be very happy with what is new this year at SIHH.Starting with the Top Gun series there will be at least five new models. Two Miramar and two non-Miramar versions of essen

Anyone know where to get a SS band that will fit a 6309-729A case?
I'm looking for a particular steel band that will fit one of my new incoming Seiko's. I'm excited to get my first Seiko diver and wanted to get another band other than the rubber one that it's coming with. I picked up a 6309-729A the other day and can't wait till it gets here from it's trip across the long pond I think the watch was made in '77 from the serial numbers that I could get from the pics. I see a bunch of super oysters out there but I was browsing another forum and saw an 'anvil'? bracelet that I really liked. I already have a diver with an oyster band on it and don't want a jubillee on it. Any info on this would be great! I'm stoked to get my first Seiko! Here's the sellers pic, I'll get more of course when I get it.

Serious reliability questions on modern RO's...
I recently wanted to buy a Ro, the regular model new style in 41mm, here's a link to show you which one I'm talking about as I am not a specialist and don't know the OP references:.shop.rivierawatch/fr/...oyal-oak-.htmlThis grey dealer having sold me and my wife a few watches, we have developed quite a nice relation with him and he is very honest.While wanting to buy a watch that he has in stock, he told me to avoid buying one as, according to him, OP has a 25% return rate on their RO's, how is that even possible??? For me 25% return of new watches to the manufacture for defects is just crazy, especially for a brand like AP.Does anyone know about this and have any explanation about how such a thing is even possible?Always thought that AP were nearly flawless watch movements and that you could buy your eyes closed, not according to my grey dealer, since I was hesitating between that one and a Blancpain, that he doesn't have, he told me it would be better to get the BP, that they didn't
