BASEL BUILDUP: Will it happen again? Will Rolex put a ceramic bezel on an existing watch and break Baselworld? Rumours abound we may see just that on the ‘Coke’ GMT-Master II, which has been mocked up here by those resourceful Rolex rumourmongers at Monochrome.

IN-DEPTH: My month-long affair with the Apple Watch Edition Series 2

Mechanical watches are very important to me. Not only are they the way I earn my living, they’re also a real passion. So it was with a sense of very real unease that I prepared for this review. Not because I have a fundamental aversion to quartz, connected or smart devices, but because I was concerned, … ContinuedThe post IN-DEPTH: My month-long affair with the Apple Watch Edition Series 2 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
