Hublot Watch Winder Safe By Dottling
As useful as they are, people still don¡¯t get super excited about watch winders. Well, perhaps most watch winders. The upper echelon of watch winders are incredibly impressive machines that do way more than merely keep your favorite automatic timepieces well-wound. A fun and stimulating example is the Hublot Safe produced by watch winder and safe maker Dottling.I got to check out this machine hands-on and I must admit that the over-the-top super watch accessory is as appealing as it is priced for people who own more than one yacht. I included the image here of the safe with Markus Dottling and Jean-Claude Biver of Hublot to show you the size scale of the safe.To start, the Hublot Safe is 180 kilograms in weight. The mostly steel safe is like a large outer cylinder with an inner rotating cylinder. That rotating cylinder has two sides of winders with the capacity to wind 42 watches. In mostly black, the safe has panels of carbon fiber, and you¡¯ll notice that it uses larger versions of Hu

Rolex 40mm Sizing
I am currently wearing two Omega Seamasters 41mm and an Omega Planet Ocean 44.25mm. I am looking for a white faced watch and it's a toss-up between a Rolex Explorer II and a Panerai 113. The Panerai is a 44m but the Rolex is only a 40mm which looks small compared to the 41mm Seamasters. What do you think...is the Rolex small looking? I tried an Explorer II on and it looks small. Does anyone else think so?

Looking for a new watch (casio)
OK, so I have determined that my Citizen is my favorite watch. However, that said, it is so nice that I do not wish to wear it in most situations i am in *which include being around water, sports, ect. ect.*So, i am looking for a new watch that can get the snot knocked out of it. I have basically decided on the Casio G-shock, but i would like to know all that I can about this series of watches. Things like: toughness, water resistance, power supply, that supply's life span, various prices and the bang for the buck.In short i need a watch that can take the beatings of everyday life and my not needing to really give a rip about it. I will care for the watch, but i wont, uh, baby it. Not comfortable using a $250 watch for some of the things i do day to day lol. My price range? between $20 and $50, but i am willing to hear of options in the general vicinity of that. TIA guysCL

Advice on a AP
Hi,I'm a bit Rolex tired (apart from my sub) and looking for a new watch.Thinking about a Nautilus 3800, cause my modest wrist size, i was also thinking about a royal oak. 39mm.The nautilus is hard to get. And getting a bit overpriced if there is a decent one.Already got some nice feedback on the PP forum asking about this watch.Looking at a RO Dual Time. I love the dial, but i am worried about the presense of the watch. Too much metal going on, maybe?I think i like the bracelet, but how is it in real? Is it comfortable? Under the radar?I wear my watch purely for myself. But i have to feel comfortable of course.Can you give me some pointers why a royal oak with some extra features like the dual time is a good watch to buy? What do you guys think?Any experience?Thanks!

Patek aligator strap
I got a new strap from my local Patek hq today.Very stiff still and priced to sell!Problem i discovered later was the print 'geneve' underside is very faint, almost missing, on a brand new strap no doubt.I sent them a pic via email indicating this immediately upon discovering this flaw. Yes i should have checked before i paid but i let that slipped.The hq sales personnel replied and said 'i know the print is faint but the strap is brand new'The strap is not cheap. Who else can i escalate this to?
