Pre-SIHH 2016: Vacheron Constantin
Vacheron Constantin has just announced that for the 2016 SIHH, they’ll be introducing four new models into the Métiers d'Art Fabuleux Ornements collection. The collection was first introduced two years ago as part of the larger Métiers d'Art collection of timepieces, and basically, they’re intended as a celebration of the decorative arts of different cultures, with Ottoman architecture, Chinese embroidery, Indian manuscript, and French lace. These arts are interpreted through engraving and openworking, as well as through enameling techniques, including cloisonné and champlevé, and guilloché engraving techniques.The new references use the same basic design motifs as the models introduced in 2014, but with variations in colors as well as new case materials. The movement in these watches is Vacheron’s caliber 1003, which was first used by Vacheron in 1955 (and which is the heart of one of their most wonderful watches). At

Bezels: Rolex Or Blancpain
hi Guys I Was Watching A Video About The Blancpain 50f, And The Most Extraordinary Thing Was Its Scratch Resistant Sapphire Bezel.So, Tell Me About This: Gmt2 Ceramic Bezel Vs 50f Sapphire Bezel.

Got this one the other day for an amazing price. Changed the strap to a nice one from Panatime and Voila! Minter!Amazingly accurate with the Seagull 2555 automatic movement. Beautiful infact would go far to say I like this over a genuine Panerai of which is obviously is replicating.

Incoming - jumbo
GentsA little while ago I was asking about the fit and impressions on the thin RO. They are hard to try on and locate. So I put my mind to it and started the hunt, then placed a deposit. About 5 weeks later, and here it is. What can I say, amazing bracelet that sparkles. Thin case that is super comfy. Beautiful blue dial. No seconds, so what, it's a jumbo man. I've got other watches to watch a seconds hand. I can still hear it tick. I just love the Look from the rear. The rotor is my favorite part.Great first impressions and I'm glad I rolled the dice, how can a thin 39mm not fit.....Here we go

AP Bands hard to make?
I have been told by a couple people who make bands for other company's watches that they do not put effort into making bands for AP because they are more of a challenge to make with the unique strap setup. But honestly, looking at it...I may be nieve, it looks like almost a regular strap then you punch out to marks where the metal adapter that's unique to ap would go? Not too hardDoes anyone think the lack of 3rd party straps is really due to the fact that it may be challenging to make (although I don't think it would be that more challenging than normal) or do you think it's more so just due to the demand (lack there of) and the size of the market based off the number of watches produced vs say Panerai?Just pondering.....
