Ball Watches For BMW Cars
A few months ago Ball Watches & BMW jointly announced that they would enter into an agreement to produce high-end watches from Ball for BMW. I got to see some prototypes and pictures a few months ago but was not allowed to discuss them until now. The relationship marks yet another watch brand plus car maker looking to make cool timepieces to appeal to both watch and car lovers. Will this be a success?Design-wise these are modest departures from the standard classic and sporty Ball watch fare that we tend to like. I personally am a fan of many, but not all Ball watches.

Seamaster Aqua Terra bracelet

Let's face it, once in a while every company sends out an item that has a problem, particularly if you are buying a demo or "scratch and dent" item. It's how the company deals with that problem that tells you the most about them, and I can give Orbita a big thumbs up, both for their products and their customer service!Also, I had endless questions for Kevin, and he was extreme

What do you think of Sirtoli straps for an Omega Speedmaster???
Alligator Watch Bands by Sirtoli - Crocodile, Ostrich, Shark and Calf Skin Watch StrapsI have a Speedy "patch" 50th Omega I want to get a strap for.I like the look of the Andreas Black strap with black stitching.
