Attention Citizen Campanola Fans: Excellent Price For Accessorized Tonneau Perpetual Calandar Watch
Here is one of those very classy Citizen Campanola watches that I would love to own. This is a model number AG6210-03E, sporting a curvy tonneau case, and a full perpetual calendar laid out in avant garde Campanola fashion. Like all excellent Citizen Campanola watches, this represents the best Japanese watch company Citizen has to offer in these hand decorated and handmade watches. I've discussed these watches at length, and you can read my many thoughts on them in these articles.Aside from the meticulously polished case and attractive face, the features in this Campanola are useful. This version focuses on the calendar providing the month, year, date, and date of the week. Further, the calendar is perpetual, meaning it takes into consideration leap years and the different amount of days months have. Lastly, the watch has synchronized 24 hour hand built into the the seconds subdial. Citizen is able to lay out this information in a way with lovely intrigue.I really love the hands on thi

Final Arrival: Journey to Gold GMT IIc Anniversary [Warning - Many Pics]
I fell in love when I first saw the 18k Gold GMT IIc Anniversary. Never thinking I could afford it I would periodically make friendly visits to ADs just to look at it and try it on. I'm guilty of going to the different ADs at different time and would only come in if it wasn't the same sales person who helped me the last time. Always asking to try on the same watch and every time the price tag would just initimadate me and I would slowly hand the watch back to the sales person.Two years of this and I finally pulled the trigger! Did my research and found Scott Levin of TopNotchWatch to be reputable from this forums as well as others. I have always bought Rolex watches through an AD never straying away from them. My worst fear is being ripped off when it comes to watch purchases so this was my first time I'd ventured out and bought a watch from someone I never met.....all based on the seller's reputation. Scott Levin took his time to work with me through the transaction and was wit

The Clinton
After going back and forth in my mind between the Boulton and the Clinton, the Clinton finally won out. Now it's here.It is a bit smaller than I thought. I imagine I will get use to it for occasional wear. It actually does look a little bigger closer up and at a different angle.When compared to a finely printed book from the same year (1949) the size looks fine.I've only given it an hour of wrist time, so these are still my early observations.

Best tools for changing straps on ROO Offshore Panda
Hi everyone,I just acquired my first Royal Oak Offshore after a lot of thinking and consideration. I've been meaning to change the straps on it because it came with a short strap which is too short for me. I can't wear the watch properly except on the very last whole which makes the alignment of the deployant on the underside at a very strange location. I got it together with this Grey Hornback from the newer 2014 ROO Grey Theme Elephant, but it does not have a buckle or any tools to change the straps with. The owner told me that I just need to find appropriate screwdrivers for it. I tried using my Panerai Screwdriver (for switching out buckles) but that is too large to fit. Does anyone have any recommendations for screwdrivers that would be able to change the straps of this watch? I see some places that the correct size is 1.4mm but according to research my Panerai Screwdriver is 1.4mm as well, which means it should theoretically work, but it doesn't. .ebay/itm/Bergeon-3008...item4ad3

U.S. ADs selling pre-owned above MSRP
An AD that I visit has a small pre-owned section and happened to have a (essentially new) hard to find watch there sold at a mark-up consistent with grey market prices. This particular model was explained as a 2 week old trade in that still appeared to have the stickers on it. Now, I don’t blame them for selling the watch at prevailing market, but in theory, they could basically just put a friends name on the warranty card declare it used, and now sell at the higher price.Not sure if this something Rolex would have a problem with, but just curious how everyone else’s ADs are responding to these secondary market prices we’ve seen over the last year+?
