SIHH 2013 Watch Show Recap: Don't Rock The Boat
Today I received an interesting press release from the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) regarding the end of the 2013 show. Interestingly enough the title of the release very much mimicked the most positive way I could interpret my feelings about the show. But more on that in a moment.To remind you, SIHH is a large, invitation-only trade show put on by the Richemont Group watch brands as well as a few partners (such as Audemars Piguet). They separated from Baselworld years ago to get better contact with buyers and to be "more luxury." Compared to Baselworld it is quite calm, but nevertheless it is still a hustle and bustle trade show. Just with perhaps better dressed people, wine being served, and a three course lunch menu.SIHH 2013 was enjoyable as ever when it came to seeing friends, colleagues, and meeting new ones.

Planet Ocean Helium Escape Valve gap normal?
Hi,I just received my new PO Quantum of Solace edition from a reputable dealer. It looks brand new, with its hang tags, protective stickers, etc. It also appears to be working fine. Upon closer inspection, however, I noticed that there is a rather visible gap between the Helium escape valve and the case, even if the valve is closed tight. This gap shows a little bit of the thread that the valve screws on to. This gap and thread are only visible from the top though. The bottom does not show the gap (or thred) at all. Is this normal for all 45.5 m. Planet Oceans or did I receive a defective watch? This is my first experience with XL POs so I don't know whether this is normal or not and I don't want to sound like a full if I had to talk to my dealer about this. My old Seamaster 300m (2008) does not show that gap at all by the way, but I wonder if it's due to its smaller size (41 m). Anybody out there having the same issue with their XL Planet Ocean? Any help would be greatly appre

Do you worry about getting mugged for your watch?
I read this article on another thread. I bring it up here because I want to discuss it further, and don't want to do any thread hijacking. Here it is:F1 President Bernie Ecclestone Mugged in London; Hublot Stolen From His Wrist | WATCHTIMEI sometimes worry about my old Sandoz being mistaken for a Rolex and getting me mugged. In fact, I put it in my pocket whenever I must walk through 'dicier' neighbourhoods. I wonder if any collectors of Rolex, Breitling, Panerai, or whatever have the same worry. So, what's your opinion?
