Why do you own the Rolex watches which are in your collection?
So what are the reasons why you bought and keep the Rolex watches in your collection? The short answer is, you like 'em! But why? My 16613 appeals to me on many different levels. It is arguably the most iconic Rolex to the non-collector, general public. Like all of us, I was once part of that "general public" that looked upon the watch with awe and wonder. Acquiring it was a grail achievement that I won't soon forget. I've always had a thing for TT watches so that, combined with what is for me the most beautiful dial that Rolex makes translates to the 16613 being a watch I hope to always keep in my collection:I never even considered wearing an all stainless 16610 watch until about the year 2000. It was then when I purchased an Invicta 8926 - a mechanical Sub-a-alike that really got me hooked on the look, and eventually drove me to buy the watch on which the homage was fashioned from. Many don't purchase a Submariner because they say it's so common. But the watch represents so

ST?L?S to donate to North Alabama Tornado victims
We are located in Huntsville Alabama and know what tornadoes are like. But that didn't prepare us for the devastation of the current catastrophe. We currently have a special watch designed for those effected by the Japan Tsunami but being a Huntsville resident we feel it important to donate locally as well. For the month of May we will be donating 10% off all sales to those who are our neighbors.Blog/Press Release

Starting Watchmaking School Next Week
Hi there, I'm a long time lurker but rare poster on these forums, but I thought my upcoming plans might be interesting to someone. I'm finally starting Watchmaking school next Monday after waiting and working all year to make it happen. I'm pretty excited. I have expensive taste in the watches I like, and no chance of being able to afford any of the beautiful high complication pieces I've been drooling over, so I see this as a way to enjoy watches and horology and make a decent career out of it as well (hopefully). For anyone who is wondering it's the National Watchmaking School of Canada, in Trois Rivieres Quebec. Unfortunately the last Watchmaking School in Canada but they're still going strong. Incidentally they offer the program in both french and english if anyone is interested but afraid of living in Quebec for 2 years. Trois Rivieres is a beautiful old city as well, 375 years old this year. I'm looking forward to it and will try to post more regularly with news of my progress
