Rolex Datejust Ladies

The bezel is an important cosmetic feature of any Rolex watch. Apart from making the case more pressure-proof while measuring the elapsed time and average speed in certain sport models, it also renders a touch of class to the watch.

The bezel is an important cosmetic feature of any Rolex watch. Apart from making the case more pressure-proof while measuring the elapsed time and average speed in certain sport models, it also renders a touch of class to the watch. Rolex offers different styles in bezels for most of its models. There are two broad categories of Bezels: Simple Bezels and Jeweled Bezels
Simple Bezels

This category includes all styles that are not fitted with precious or semi-precious stones. Some of the most popular styles that you can find in this category include the following -

1. Polished Bezel

2. Fluted Bezel

3. Domed Bezel

4. Engine Turned Bezel

5. Finely Engine Turned Bezel

5. Bezel printed with Tachymeter (Logarithmic) Scale found in Rolex Cosmograph Daytona models

6. Bezel printed with 24 hour Markings found in Rolex GMT-Master and Explorer II

7. Elapse Time Bezel found in Rolex Submariner and Sea-Dweller models

8. Turn-O-Graph Bezel found in Turn-O-Graph Datejust models

Rolex offers a number of options in jeweled Bezels in many of the popular watch models. If you like jewelry and want to flaunt an exceptional looking wristwatch, a Bezel outfitted with precious or semi-precious stones is the perfect choice. However, such options are available for 18k gold and platinum models only. This means that if you are looking for a diamond Bezel in stainless steel models, you may not be able to find one. In the preowned market, however, stainless steel Rolex watches with a diamond Bezel are readily available. We believe we can supply you with the watch you are looking for in terms of both design and jewelry. Some of the unique diamond Bezels offered by Rolex include the following -

1. Platinum embedded with 40 full-cut diamonds in some ladies' Oyster Perpetual Datejust models

2. 18k yellow gold or white gold fitted with 40 full-cut diamonds in some Ladies' Datejust models

7. 18k yellow gold set with 32 diamonds and 4 baguette emeralds/sapphires in some ladies' Date just models

8. 18k yellow gold/white gold set with 32 full-cut diamonds in some ladies' Datejust models

9. 18k yellow gold set with diamonds and sapphires in men's GMT-Master II

Rolex Datejust Price

By: Bob Luxor

To tell you the truth, I was never a big fan of Rolex watches. My grandfather, father and most of my elderly uncles had one, giving the impression that it is an old man's brand. I do love little luxuries and when it comes to watches, there is not other brands that embed the notion of luxury better than Rolex. It was not until I discovered Rolex's Oyster Perpetual Datejust series that I began to get hooked on Rolex watches.

Personally, I am not really a big fan of big complicated watches with bezels and other bells and whistles. I prefer classically designed, no frills watches that oozes with elegance and simplicity. You can imagine my delight when I discovered the Datejust series.

Rolex's Datejust series is a collection of classically designed watches that embodies the tradition of classical watches. Most of the watches in this collection just tell the date and time, perfect for my minimalist taste. They are usually slender with smooth curves, and some can even be worn by both men and women.

Most of the watches in the Datejust collection are made of stainless steel. Some of the luxurious models are more heavily adorned with gold and even diamonds. Even the most ostentatious model in this collection is modeled to be understate and subtle. This is my favorite collection among all other Rolex watches as there is nothing classier than subtle sophistication (as opposed to over the top designs).

So a couple of months ago, I got my first Rolex watch, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Midsize watch (178240-Pro). It is an elegant midsize timepiece with sleek matte stainless steal casing and a pink colored dial face. The numbers on the face of the watch are elegant, silver colored roman numerals. Like many Rolex watches, the 178249-Pro is an automatic watch so it does not require batteries.

Rolex Datejust

Rolex finally unveiled Date-Just II at Baselworld 2009 as all Rolex watches lovers expected. Though Baselworld 2009 just recently closed, there already appears hundreds of articles about Rolex 2009 new releases. Rolex Date-Just II, in particular, draws great attention with some noticeable changes.

Rolex came with four 41mm Date-Just II models and eight 36mm Date-Just II models at Baselworld 2009. Rolex men's watch first had 41mm model on Day-Date II in 2008, this year was Date-Just II's turn. One Two-Tone 41mm Datejust II model uses green theme Roman numbers and a baton marker with luminescence at 9 o'clock. The green elements first appeared at Basel 2004. GMT Master II, Anniversary Submariner, and Milgauss 116400GV are all beneficiaries of green elements. Personally, I love green which is fresh and vivid. But I never thought it could display its charm on watches till Rolex made it true. Two of other Rolex Date-Just II models apply Arabic markers. One in two-tone and the other in white gold and stainless steel. Noticeable is that the arabic numerals on white gold version presents something purple. The last 41mm Date-Just II keeps more tradition looking with baton markers. I am a little disappointed about the combination of fluted bezels and Oyster bracelet on these four models. In eyes of mine, fluted bezels goes better with Jubillee bracelet.

Female Rolex watches lovers may cheer as they are spoiled with eight 36mm Date-Just II this year. Obviously, Now Date-Just now tries to attract more female customers. In another word, Rolex Date-Just now is being transformed from a men's watch line to a unisex watch line. As a woman, these Date-Just II of feminine slant do take my breath away. And my favorite model is the one features grey dial and flower patterns.

Rolex Princes

By: Chen Clinton

Prince is another series which Rolex launched in 1928, it is really a masterpiece that involving function, aesthetics and structure as a whole. Since its birth, Prince has been deeply loved by doctors, as they can use it to calculate pulse; this is why Prince was called "doctor's watch" later. And the professionals who need precision timekeeping to second also become the fans of Prince.

Rectangular in shape, the Prince stood apart at the time thanks to the outstanding performance of its movement. Furthermore, Rolex developed and patented the watch's unique display of hours and minutes on one side of the winding stem and of seconds on the other.

Now part of the Cellini range, the Rolex Prince is a gem amongst wristwatches. It has pioneered the novel concept of using technical know-how to enhance design in an effort to ensure total balance between the aesthetics of the watch, the movement, the case, the dial and the strap. Everything about it is new.
The movement - a Swiss chronometer - is rectangular in shape and makes use of all the available space to ensure performance and reliability. Designed and manufactured in perfect harmony with the case and strap, the aesthetics of the movement were given equal consideration to its technical performance. For the first time, a Rolex movement is on show through a transparent caseback that reveals a guilloche decoration on the movement echoing that on the dial.

On the dial, hours and minutes are displayed separately above the seconds. The guilloche decoration on each timepiece requires technical ingenuity and has redefined the art of watch decoration. The various patterns now available - Clou de Paris, Godron and Rayon Flammé de la Gloire - give each model its own distinct look.

Sleek, smooth and sophisticated, the four distinct styles of the slim, elongated case offer something to suit every taste, and the transparent caseback adds an extra touch of elegance. Finally, the leather strap has been fitted with a gold butterfly clasp, giving the watch perfect balance.

the Prince stood apart at the time thanks to the mechanical instrument and a lesson in aesthetics. It reflects the art of watchmaking at its best as much as design in its purest sense. It paves the way for a new generation of watches that embody the technical perfection and know-how so intrinsic to Rolex.

Luxury Watches

By: Lee Evans

Buying a luxury Swiss watch usually causes one to pause. "Hmm . . . what are the things that I need to consider so that I make the right purchase?" You don't want to make the wrong choice. In fact, buying luxury watches is not that hard to do.

The most prominent brands, subject to argument of course, are:

• Tag Heuer
• Omega
• Rolex, and
• Breitling

Luxury watches can run anywhere from $1000-$250,000, so they are an investment and you want to make sure that you select the one that is right for you. Luxury watch owners are usually enthusiasts. They love a certain brand and they often stick to it. An obsession, I'd say. But some prefer to simply call it passion. Sometimes these "passionate connoisseurs" collect watches and have vast quantities from the same watch company. Most luxury watch bloggers on the net are actually collectors.

My best recommendation to a newbie to the luxury watch arena is to do your research, talk with friends, read the watch forums, but, in the end, pick the watch that gives you the most joy. When you are spending this much for a watch, you really want to glance at it and smile (when no one is looking). You want to feel the warm fuzzies (a technical term) when you put it on. You want to say "Hey, look at my wrist, will you" to everyone that passes by, but you're an adult, so you won't do that (but that's the only reason why)!

There are only a few things in your life that will give you as much of a kick, so make sure that you have fun. When you pick from all the luxury watches, make sure that you splurge. Make sure that you get one of the best gifts you can ever give to YOU. Remember, unlike most other items, you will probably be wearing this everyday, for many years to come. Above all, make sure that your watch brings you joy!

Breitling

By: Patrick C Bedford

Breitling has unveiled its most recent horologic innovation to the amazement of the watch industry. The new B01 chronograph movement is the luxury watchmaker's first completely in-house manufactured complication. The new features in this movement distinguish it from any other Swiss movement on the market and set a new bench mark for watch-making excellence.

Breitling has always shared a close and essential relationship with aviation, sports, and industry. It is no surprise that the maker of the first wrist chronograph and first fully automatic chronograph would pursue a higher standard of precision in its designer timepieces. By appropriating itself of the entire movement manufacturing process for the B01, Breitling can now oversee every detail of the chronograph's development.

The B01 project has created a revolutionary specialized assembly process that guarantees the integrity of each watch's quality. Movement along the assembly chain is conducted by an ultra sophisticated computer program that monitors and routes each movement throughout the various paths of assembly. The program alternates the movement's components in two phases. The first phase is fully automated and conducted exclusively by precise robotic arms. This ensures a better quality product as these machines have greater precision than a human hand. The second phase directs the components of the movement to a separate facility where partial manual assembly is required. Upon exiting the assembly chain, the movements are sent to the C.O.S.C. for extremely rigorous testing and analyzes.

The caliber B01 is available exclusively in its C.O.S.C certified version, with accompanying documentation to prove its clearance of highly meticulous precision testing. It is considered a high frequency movement at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The new Chronomat B01 features this new movement, and encases it beautifully in stainless steel, steel & gold, or 18k rose gold. This timepiece has been developed with endurance in mind and boasts 500 meters of water resistance. Another feature that has created excitement over this new Breitling movement is an optimized column-wheel device that provides a clean start/stop function without a jump of the hand. The movement is equipped with a 70 hour reserve which is an impressive feat considering its sleek shape. A patented self setting device for the resetting hammers does away with the traditional need to have a watchmaker correct each individual movement.

As the crowning achievement of this great watch manufacturer's 125th anniversary, the caliber B01 ushers in a new era for chronograph movements, and validates Breitling as the world leader in precision time-keeping instruments for professionals.

Movado

By: Jitesh Arora

Think of a watch and the words that come to my mind are luxury, impressive and magnificent. Movado has launched two models in the new series the first one is a black pvd finishing giving the tough look. The other one is standard Swiss quartz. The black one being a chronograph model differs from the second one. These models are usually unisexual but most preferred for men. Both models differ in the movement. Along the outer side of the dial of both the models ten minute spans are displayed for the user's convenience. Large dots that represent the 5 minute mark are present. The Movado series promises of offering style and comfort with elegant as well as casual watches for everyday use.

For women here are a few types of watches from sport to luxury watches. While buying sports watch keep in mind the features like lap timer and split timer. Casual watches can be worn on any occasion. Let it be a business meeting or wedding ceremony casual watches can fit into any of these. It should be calm and easy in term of comfort. Working, as the name suggests, are designed for classy people busy at their workplaces.

These watches should ensure punctuality and planning. The dressy watches are more popular among the women class. These include a pink bracelet matching with your belt or pants of the same color. The luxury ones ensure lifetime company and this one ought to be an expensive one. Always remember that a watch reflects the lifestyle of a person.
