In this roundup, Ariel explains the ramifications of the recently signed Switzerland-China free trade agreement, while we find out what was Jean-Claude Biver¡¯s first ¡°Grail Watch¡±. Harry Winston's Opus 3 is finally ready for delivery (after nearly a decade), and we learn about the differences between ¡°precision¡± and accuracy.¡±1. Switzerland ¨C China Free-Trade Agreement Will Greatly Disrupt Swiss Watch Sales GloballySwitzerland and China recently signed a bilateral free-trade agreement. It goes without saying that this move was partly motivated by the interests of the Swiss watch industry. Swiss watches make up roughly 32% of the total $26 billion trade value between Switzerland and China. While such a move is seen as potentially beneficial to Switzerland, our Editor-in-Chief Ariel believes that it will also have disruptive effects on global Swiss watch sales.

I can't figure it out!
Now that I'm the owner of a brand spanking new GMT-II, I've been trying to figure out how to use the 2nd and 3rd timezone features. The instruction booklet that came with the watch is not very clear to me. Can anyone give understandable advice on how to use the moveable bezel and the relationship with the third hand? I just don't get it (think maybe it's just age?).Kinda embarassing to ask, but it would be a shame to not use all the features of my new watch. Saul

How ¡°rare¡± is a Rolex?
I¡¯m currently sitting here in a brewery in Denver, Colorado and I¡¯m the only one here with a Rolex on; I looked around, ha.I tend to look at the wrist of just about anyone I pass by or sit next to while I¡¯m out and about and I¡¯m starting to feel like it¡¯s not all that common to run into someone with a Rolex, or otherwise.I¡¯m sure the ¡°concentration¡± of Rolex and/or other luxury goods is mostly centralized in a handful of locations and, therefore, more noticeable. But it¡¯s still surprising to see so many naked wrists, so frequently.With the amount of watches that Rolex produces each year, it¡¯s a little surprising. But at the end of the day, it¡¯s still a privilege to be able to wear something that a lot of folks may never get the chance to own.Anyone else feel this way?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Search Update
Hi everybody. I wanted to give an update on my upgrade from my Air King 114200. I posted, a few weeks ago, that I wanted something a bit bigger and was really wanting a sub. I went to my local AD and tried on several difference watches. I knew, going in, that I wanted a sub...that was until I tried on the Explorer 1. I put it on and immediately fell in love with it. The size is perfect, the dial is simple...yet confident...if that makes sense. It was exactly what I was looking for. I found a seller on here and pulled the trigger. I couldn't be happier and it is going to be the perfect compliment to my grandfathers 6334 that I cherish. Being a pilot, I loved my Air King. I loved the story behind it and really enjoyed wearing it. Aside from wanting something bigger...I needed something to commemorate this year. My wife and I welcomed our first child, a girl, into our family. At the same time, my wife kick the crap out of bile duct cancer (she was diagnosed when she was pregn
