The Replica Rolex Submariner: For the Adventurer in us All
When you're in the market for a top-quality replica Rolex watch, it is hard to ignore the mystique surrounding the legendary Submariner watch. Introduced back in 1954 at the Basel Spring Watch Fair, it's unquestionably the preeminent luxury scuba diving watch, the choice of Jacques Cousteau and James Bond alike. Make no mistake, its status as the ultimate underwater accessory was no accident. There is a rich history of technological innovation—and glamorous adventure—that made the famous watch the most legendary deep-sea wristwatch of all time.

The year of its introduction, 1954, was an exciting one. Mount Everest had been conquered by Hillary and Tenzing, and Piccard's legendary underwater ship Trieste had conquered the deep sea. Also, the new adventurous sport of skin diving was emerging. Rolex wanted to release a luxury watch suitable for every kind of adventure, and the Submariner Rolex watch was their answer to the rigors that deep-sea adventure demanded. It was the first watch on the market to be water-resistant to 330 feet, and the world took notice.

One main reason the legendary underwater timepiece is such a popular replica Rolex watch is the way it has been championed by such dashing and dangerous celebrities as Jacques Cousteau, James Bond, and even revolutionary guerrilla leader Che Guevara. Definitely, though, the man most famous for sporting the fabulous Submariner watch is 007 himself, the dashing spy, James Bond. The model is featured in no less than 11 Bond films on Bond's wrist, which makes it undeniably one of the sexiest and most dangerous luxury timepieces in history.

It seems like fate that the first appearance of Bond on screen, in the TV adaptation of Ian Fleming’s book Casino Royale, also just so happened to take place that fateful year of 1954. The author himself was the one who decided that Rolex was going to be Bond's number one watch. Why Fleming was so in love with the watchmakers isn't known. It could have been that he wore one himself, or that he was impressed with the fact that at the time Rolex was delivering free watches to any British prisoner of war who wrote to them for one.

Technologically advanced, durable enough for the rough lifestyle of a professional adventurer, and thanks to James Bond, as sexy as a man's watch can get, the Submariner watch is certainly a timekeeper to contend with. It's no surprise then, that in the world of top-tier designer imitations, it's one of the most popular models of replica Rolex watch. Whether you're exploring deep below the world's oceans like Mr. Cousteau, freedom fighting in the jungle like Mr. Guevara, or seducing sultry spies like Mr. Bond, we all know that only one watch will do. The name's Submariner. Rolex Submariner.

Breitling Replica Watches & Facebook

Wednesday, April 1, 2009

facebook and Breitling replicas have different business models

For a moment consider Facebook as a very particular private company: a Breitling Replica watch company, for the sake of argument. Because Facebook is a site that people feel personally invested in, they often forget that it is a business, whose guidelines they agreed to when they first signed up.

Now, imagine that when you first gave your personal information to a watch site when you purchased a Navitimer replica, you agreed to let them copy, publicly display, re-format and distribute your information, for any reason that they wanted to. In this example, it’s clear that you gave the go-ahead for a private company to do whatever they wanted to with your details.

The problem is, once you deactivate your watch account, you would not assume that they would archive your information to use whenever they wanted to. Even if you did, you would certainly not guess that they would use your intellectual property for their own gain.

Because Facebook is a cheap, effective marketing tool for semi-professional young writers, photographers and artists, its policies stray from being a normal company, and get into more unsteady ground.

The is the difference between a fake Breitling watch company and Facebook is that the former would only use your information for research. The latter is claiming copyright on what their users create, and doesn’t have any intention of crediting them if their photographs are used as a Facebook ad, for instance.

An article published in The New York Times yesterday spent more time congratulating Facebook for uniting friends and citizens than it did addressing their questionable terms of service, that, among other things, give the company commercial control over the content people upload to the site.

While the article did address the difficulty with maintaining social borders, such as those between parents and children, it spent much more time discussing the problem of parents finding pictures of their under-aged children drinking alcohol (an issue which was popular with shows such as Oprah and The View last year).

While users are widely opposed to terms that grant Facebook the right to license, copy and disseminate members’ content worldwide, they aren’t exactly jumping ship. And Facebook isn’t about to change their minds. “It’s not a democracy,” Mr. Cox stressed when talking to the New York Times yesterday.

As Facebook is such a specific site, it’s difficult for people to see it as a private company, and not a democracy. Consider if the replica watches business had the same policies. If people really want their opinion to be heard, they have to ditch their social networking addiction and stop giving their property over, daily, to a company that could care less.
