Seiko Orange Monster or Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller Lume?

Seiko Orange Monster or Rolex Deepsea Lume?


We asked our YouTube subscribers to vote on their favorite lume between a Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller and the Seiko Orange Monster. So far, the Seiko is beating the DSSD 47 to 33! Most of the comments on the video also reflect an appreciation for the Orange Monster’s green lume. Seiko’s Lumibright definitely appears to glow much brighter over a short period of time, but the Deepsea’s Chromalite is intended to continue glowing over a longer period of time, as well as maintain clearer visibility in the murkiest of conditions.  You be the judge…

Rolex Pens in gold, silver, and green!

Rolex Pens and Other Promotional Items

Rolex Pens in gold, silver, and green!

Merch. Schwag. Paraphernalia. Whatever you want to call it, a lot of KTT’s clients collect more than just watches. Pens, lighters, travel mugs, USB thumb drives, notebooks, briefcases, key chains, even fine chocolate… these are just some of the objects that manufacturers are printing their logos on, and these advertising freebies are becoming more and more popular among watch enthusiasts. The best ones are usually promotional items given out at Baselworld, but serious collectors have even been known to accumulate store displays such as mirrors and watch holders.

Rolex Gold President Wave Pen

The Rolex pens you see above are some of the most desired pieces of promo-schwag in the watch world. The gold and silver pens to the left are known as Rolex “wave pens,” because of the wave-like patterns (note: the gold ones are sometimes referred to as president pens).  These writing instruments are especially cool because they have a Rolex coronet (the crown logo) on the top of the pen that appears to rest under a dome of epoxy, and twisting it will adjust the clip on the side. The smaller green pen to the far right was manufacturered by CARAN d’ACHE for Rolex.

The guys over at the Time Keeper Forum are some of the biggest collectors of Rolex accessories. Check out this post by SPACE DWELLER which includes a ton of other Rolex goodies.

Porsche Designs had a Porsche in their booth, but there were two Blancpain Edition Lamborghini Gallardo cars parked outside of the side entrance to Hall of Dreams at Baselworld 2011. Which one is more winning?
