Romain Jerome Selfridges DNA Watch
Romain Jerome releases another whimsically themed DNA watch in honor of their new retail partner Selfridges & Co. in London. This nine piece limited edition set is designed in a similar manner to RJ's piece for Only Watch 2011, and proclaims their personal level of importance for the famous English department store.Important retailers often want brands to create special limited edition timepieces just for them. So, RJ took that request seriously and literally made a limited edition just for them. You might think the watch is silly if you have no familiarity with Selfridges but I think it is sort of a funny thing and nod to RJ's sense of humor.The watch is 46mm wide and looks like something out of the movie Tron.

John your secret NY mission was accomplished, or my long over-due introduction on WTF
Ok - I'll let the secret out...:DJBHII did not really go to NY just for the GTG itself.....I am pretty sure, all he wantedwas getting some recruits for this site and take some pictures of the city - sincewe know that he is a lot into photography as well.Actually !!!...he even brought another photo guy - John R and sent him out to thepouring rain to take pictures at night....just so he can get us drunk and sign on thedotted line right there an then !!For those of you who thought you were signing credit card slips of your bar billthink again - John had it all organized and even the bartenders were on it.That was the application and oath for WTF membership.Did you noticed? He was buying us drinks while he - a smart man on a mission - was drinking only $5 diet coke ;)Anyway.....it seems John, you did good !!It appears that quite of few of us are looking for a breath of fresh air lately.I am thrilled to see many familiar faces here, so I am not going to keep myintroduction formal and bori

aBOuT Seiko Premier SPB001J1
hEllO everyone,i recently bought Seiko PRemier SPB001J1.A few clarfications on the model is sought for:1. In which year was this model launched by SEIKO?2. in my watch the number mentioned in the back of the case is 691589. What does it mean? Does it have any reference to the serial number of the model manufactured?This is because in the review of the above model being made - (Review of the Seiko Premier Automatic SPB001J1, By: John B. Holbrook, II on 9/21/09), the number of that watch was 800384. The review was made in 2009 and my watch was purchased on April 2010. Does it mean my watch was an old model?humbly requested to clarify the above.ThanksKareth
