do you have a watch with a "secret" feature, something that makes it special but only an expert eye can spot ? The watch looks ordinary to many people, but it has something more. Like for instance, the big crown on a Rolex 6538 Submariner....

... a little more to a trained eye. Can´t compete with your BC or Nicolas 6542 but this I show here also has a little secret which will tell something to the trained eye if it looks at its back. Have a great New Year 2015 my friends! Kind regards, Abel ...

Some nice images, as well. As it happens, one of my most recent acquisitions has a "secret" that can be discerned by some. That secret is the country in which it was originally sold, and it has nothing to do with the inscriptions inside of the case back. ...

Secrets are half the fun! No need to explain here: With this one, it's the secret logo - great design work by Paul Gerber... Here it's all about the inconspicuous little button... These guys both have a little secret. The one on the right has a perso...
