Watch Experts Network: ‘DECAMP Goods Watch Rolls, an Interview’
This week, we feature an interview with the owner of a small watch goods company. I had the opportunity to meet this person on a recent trip to San Diego and was really taken by his story, his real interest in watches and, most importantly, the quality and design of his watch rolls. Erik gave me a watch roll of his own creation and it¡¯s been my ¡°go to¡± accessory during travel and, believe me, I travel a lot. We hope you enjoy this candid view from a collector.What¡¯s your name and where are you based?Erik Akin and I¡¯m from San Diego, California USA. I¡¯ve lived here my whole life except for 5 years in Japan.What¡¯s your business and what type of products do you create? How did you come up with the name?DECAMP is all about watch rolls for the collector, of late I¡¯ve also started creating some wallets too. I had been thinking long and hard about a name that would evoke an emotion instead of something eponymous. I was out to dinner one night and gazing out the window when I saw a sign for a

Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute Blacksteel Limited Edition Watch
When you think of watches associated with space (and space programs), it probably calls to mind the Omega Speedmaster, or perhaps the Poljot Strela. Did you know that Breitling also has a watch associated with the great space race of the mid-20th century? It did, and Breitling is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the watch's flight into space.On May 24th, 1962, a Breitling Navitimer was on the wrist of Lt. Cmdr. Scott Carpenter as he orbited the Earth three times in an Aurora 7 capsule. What separated this watch from others of its day was the fact that it featured a 24-hour dial, allowing for easy demarcation between day and night (which isn't an easy thing to do when you're orbiting the globe). A couple years ago Breitling released a limited edition Navitimer Cosmonaute in honor of Mr. Carpenter's mission (hands-on here). Now, in 2013, Breitling has released the Navitimer Cosmonaute Blacksteelin black steel.Of course, this model harkens back to its predecessor of fifty years ago.

New Explorer II vs GMT II - C comparison
Hi All,I just finished comparing the new Explorer II and the GMT II - C The Explorer II debuted at the Basel 2011 show and the buzz about the watch has not died down. The increased size to a 42mm case, the updated luminescence, Paraflex shock mechanism for the balance wheel, and of course the orange hand, make the Explorer II stand out from the rest of the Rolex line. On the left is the GMT-C and on the right is the Explorer II. The case thickness between both watches is very similar with the GMT-C being 12mm and the Explorer II being 12.45mm. The Explorer II case is slightly longer as it is wider being 48.70 long versus 46.38mm on the GMT-C. The image does not adequately capture how the Explorer II case has more of a curvature than the flatter GMT-C case. The weight of both watches is very similar with the GMT-C being 145g versus the Explorer II being 150g (weighed with two links removed from the watch strap). One of the chief complaints on the traditional GMT and Explorer II models w

Big day... first major "surgery"
Big day for the rb2 today… this was in the works for a week now and I knew this would happen sooner rather than later so why not get it done. I’ll let the pictures do the talking…Took the watch with me to work today knowing that surgery would happen around 11am. I’d rather stare at the watch than get frustrated looking at trafficTransplant parts have arrived… they are marked “urgent” Ordered from AP Clearwater a rubber diver strap (black and in XS)New packagingSize comparison next to the standard strapPrepped for transplantDone! The rubber strap feels so comfortable and is better for hot and humid texas daysPicked up an aftermarket titanium buckle off ebay. I didn’t want to spend $700 on a OEM buckle and have it banged up anyway. I wish it didn’t have the AP stamp but oh well. I do like the fact that the edge of the buckle is polished and matches the edges of the watch. EDIT: If anyone is selling a OEM tang buckle, hit me up!
