This Piaget Polo watch (with Thomas Sabo bracelets) was submitted by Rodolfo Suro (instagram user @rodolfosuro).  

 

I am constantly amazed at how perceptive people are. On instagram, as I was beginning today's Piaget I asked if anyone could name this watch. I would not have had the knowledge or the wherewithal to determine the maker but @andriadarville called it out within minutes of the post. Way to go!

Watch 48 Rolex

This Rolex watch with Olongapo Strap was submitted by Chicks With Watches (instragram user @chickswithwatches)

'First up, one of my father's Rolexes on a handcrafted Olongapo strap. These straps were very popular for soldiers who were doing tours in Vietnam back in the 60's and 70's. Back then, there were artisans a plenty who crafted these for GI's. My dad said back then (he was 17-18 when he was a US Navy medic corpsman) he didn't understand the "coolness" of them. When he realized as an adult, he couldn't find any artists who could make one....until he found Jaffy Jurado in the Philippines a few years ago. Needless to say , my dad had a strap hand crafted for his Rolex. Here she is....my father, a retired Navy Seal medic corpsman would be THRILLED to see this in one of your GORGEOUS pieces.'

I receive this watch for my 20th birthday. This is the new gmt-2 (2013). This model is special because the bezel cerachrom has 2 colors for the second time zone: the blue one for the day and the dark one for the night. The hand of the second time zone is blue.'

Watch 46 Panerai

This Panerai PAM Zero watch was submitted by Christian Ian 

'My favourite watch is the Panerai 000 (PAM Zero) base model.  This is my first PAM and one of my favourites.  The dial is so simple and clean however the watch and brand itself has a lot of history behind it.  There is quite a following for Panerai watches and through this passion many friendships are formed and that is what I love about the brand - it brings people together.'

Watch 45 Seven Friday

This Seven Friday P2 watch was submitted by Michael Imbrogno (instagram user @MrMiklange)

'The story behind this watch is as follows: Earlier this year my grandmother gave her grandchildren (myself included) some money from an account my grandparents had been keeping for quite some time.

Understandably I was quite surprised and pleased to receive this and after some thought I decided to put some of this money towards one of my passions and buy a watch to celebrate and commemorate this gift and the memory of my grandfather who had passed away when I was 6.

After much searching for something appropriate, I decided on the Sevenfriday P2 as it has a classic feel to it and represents my own personal style well.'

Watch 42 Reveal

This Projects Reveal watch was submitted by Daniel Will-Harris.

'Because it's my most popular and "classic" - the original is black, then we did it in bright orange which isn't sold anymore, then in silver, red and blue. The black's the original but if you want to choose one with more color, I'd say go red.'

Daniel Will-Harris has designed several 'kinetic watches' for Project Watches (follow the link to purchase your own Iridium Watch), look forward to seeing more as a part of the 100 Watches Project.
