Gucci Launches New Watch for 2013 Grammy Awards
The 55th Annual Grammy Awards will take place this weekend in Los Angeles, and for the third year in a row, Gucci Timepieces & Jewelry will release a new, Grammy-branded wristwatch to coincide with the music industry’s biggest night.  In 2010, Gucci launched its Grammy Special Edition watch collection as part of a three-year partnership with The Recording Academy, organizers of the Grammys. The latest edition to the collection is a timepiece whose design offers a variation on Gucci’s interlocking “Double G” motif, which is incorporated into the bezel. There are two models, each with stainless-steel cases that measure 42 mm in diameter. One has a sun-brushed finish and a black dial; the other has a black PVD finish and a dark yellow dial. The minimalist dials ¡ª with the ¡®Gucci¡¯ logo at 12 o’clock ¡ª are enlivened by circular-grained surfaces that recall the grooves on a vinyl record.

Quick royal oak bracelet question....
So I pulled the trigger on a 15300 this week and the previous owner has a much smaller wrist than I and while it comes with all the links they are not on watch. I'm sure I will have to add the extra links and am wondering if its a do it yourself job or do I need to travel to ad. If it's a job I can do myself what tools do I need? Thanks in advance!

AP classic grande complications
Wanted to share with you some pics of AP complicated watches.Interesting in a way but not up to the level of design of Patek for these kinds of grande complication watches, as much as AP is top notch for their sport watches, it seems to me that Patek blows them out of the water with equivalent pieces.Like a lot their pocket watch though, kind of piece which is really cool to have in a very big collection, or if your name is Johnny Depp, you see him very often with a chain indicating clearly he has a pocket watchEnjoy the pics2890523gross.jpg25996TI_OO_D002CR_02.jpg26356PT_OO_D028CR_01.jpg26353PT_OO_D028CR_01.jpg25712BA_OO_0000xx_01.jpg
