Forum has two threads: show us your fave Scorpion wrist shots and your overall favorite wrist shot.
If you need someplace to upload your images, try Flickr or Photobucket (my personal fave).
Worth1000 is doing a “make up your own Apple product contest and they have a few interesting entries featuring the iWatch. Possible? Probably not. Cool? Yes.
Steiner in Maastricht (NL) expands their sales channel with an auction site. Unfortunately for the non-Dutch speakers, it is in Dutch language. It is also possible for watch owners to sell their time piece through this auction site. Check the website for details.
Personally, I think this is a good initiative and I hope that more of these controlled auction sites will start to pop up. I think it helps to create a more trusty scene where watch afficianados can trade without having to fear to receive an empty box or fake watch in their mail after paying hundres or thousands of units (euros/dollars/uk pounds).
Just a quick note to tell you all that we’re now the official Scorpion Watch Company Forum moderator. This means we’ll be able take your questions and concerns directly to the team at SWC and we’ll be able to talk all about the brand with knowing winks and grins as we follow their bright, blazing future.
WristDreams is reporting that the rumored Tag Heuer phones are real.
Dial-a-Phone has alleged that the new phone device will be “a completely new design,” which can’t be said for some brands like the D&G RAZR, which lacked originality save for the gold finish and ridiculously high price.
Wrist Dreams: Rumors of Tag Heuer Phones are True
This is what watchmaking is all about. Beautiful workmanship on an all but obsolete mechanical device. This is what we’re all searching for when we talk about watch collecting. Striking. Expensive… but striking.

Ref. 5508 Submariner
And the 1680’s and 5508’s together:

I don’t even know how this sort of thing happens, but it seems someone is faking Blue Monsters now. I suppose there’s a market for them, but it literally looks like they molded the entire watch and just recast it. Very strange.
