Black-On-Black; The Sinn U Black Limited Edition Watch
For whatever reason, black-on-black colored watches are all the rage right now. First black watches were in. Then, there was a glut of black watches on the market. Then white watches were in. Then people realized that they liked black watches more than they liked white watches, and decided that instead of going to some other futile color like yellow or blue. they'd just resort to making black watches again. Sometime in that moment of intellectual pontification among watch design, a rouge designer must have boldly suggested that black be placed on black, but in a manner where one black would not blend in with the other black so as to inconvenience one's view of the time. So the black on black watch was born.Maybe it was Bell & Ross who started the black on black craze with their BR01 Phantom. The thickly coated hands and indexes glow a pale gray in the dark, adding to the ghostly demeanor. One idea behind the black on black look was stealth. So that only the wearer would be able to

New Navitimer
Hi all, just joined the forum and have enjoyed looking and all the posts and photos on the site but now i am looking for some advice.I've got a Breitling Navitimer which is my first automatic watch, i am looking for some advice on keeping the watch wound and for general day to day care of my watch.I don't wear the watch the watch every day and want to keep the time correct, am i best to wind it up, shake it every now and again or use a watch winder?Also what is the best thing to do when it has stopped if it has not been worn for a few days, should i wind it up or put it on my wrist and shake it to give it a charge? I don't want to damage the watch!thanks

Are you the go-to guy/gal for watch questions among your peers?
Since my colleagues learned of my interest in watches, I'm the go to guy for watch questions amongst the group at work. We are spread out across the country so when we get together for meetings, I'm often overwhelmed with questions about watches. While it's quite fun to see the passion ignite in a non-watch person, I also get numerous calls with questions like, "my Submariner stopped. How long to I have to shake my wrist to get it moving again?" I almost recommended he buy a GMT watch as a reminder that end of business day in Seattle is dinner time for me in Boston.Once you get past the "it cost HOW much?" it is enjoyable sharing my knowledge with others [when prompted]. There are nine members of my division. Since ~June of last year, my colleagues have purchased a SS Sub, a TT sub, black dial Explorer II and an Omega 2254.50!! I had a hand in all four transactions. I sent/emailed the guys website links, images and old catalogs (I can't seem to throw away the nicely printed catalogs).

20 years old - First Rolex purchase...thoughts?
Hello All! My name is Brian and i am a 22 year old college student. i started a small online business at age 18, and was lucky enough to be able to afford my own Rolex by age 20. Im not saying this to boast, but rather the opposite actually. The business i got into is pretty lucrative, not Yacht-Master Lucrative, but i do pretty well. I see everyone with these watches that look like Holy Grails, and mine seems like it doesn't even compare so i mention my age only to defend myself lol. With that being said i personally like the dress style more than the sport watches, id love to own a day date one day. I just couldn't do an air king - i need the date more then the time quite honestly. So for my very first rolex i purchased a 6694 Oysterdate for $1600. currently im having the end pieces replaced, and the watch serviced and expect to have it back in a few weeks. I also made the decision to go ahead and polish it after much careful consideration. It's rather beat up and i
