Arnold & Son Adds 3 New Versions of the UTTE
Spring has sprung, and with it new colors are everywhere. Arnold & Son has given us a spring of its own: the La Chaux-de-Fonds brand just introduced three new variations on its renowned UTTE model. Here’s a look at the new hues and materials Arnold & Son has on offer. Arnold & Son created great buzz in 2013 when it launched the UTTE �C a name that stands for “Ultra-Thin Tourbillon Escapement.” In fact, you could say that the UTTE was a major part of Arnold’s rise to prominence as a small, high-end Swiss brand. The UTTE movement is something to behold: it’s just 2.97 mm thick. Cased up, the watch is still only 8.34 mm thick. It has a 42-mm-wide case and a dial that leaves plenty of open space so you can admire the workings of its flying tourbillon, which rises above of the dial at 6 o’clock.Until now, the UTTE has only been available with lighter, engraved dials: a guilloch��, for instance, or a wave pattern. Now Arnold & Son is introduc

The Value Proposition: The Longines Heritage Diver Chronograph
If you're looking for a very respectable amount of bang for the buck, you could do quite a bit worse than Longines, who have in recent years developed a very large collection of timepieces that are based on watches from their very long history (which, in one form or another, goes back to the early 1830s when Auguste Agassiz set up shop in St. Imier, and founded the company that would eventually become Longines.) The entire Heritage Collection, in fact, is a pretty rich trove of timepieces that offer pretty great value in one form or another, from the great looking Conquest Heritage to this fantastically old-school monopusher chronograph with trench-watch style lugs, and many others. We're not saying every single one is a home run but there really is something here for just about everyone and in general, at very wallet-friendly prices. 1 OF 5 We just recently got to spend several days with one that we really like a lot: the Heritage Dive Chronograph. This is a heft

You��ll never get the bezel colors you want again....
That is to say as long as Rolex produces the cerachrom bezel you will never be happy with the colors (that is to say if you want an exact representation of the 5 digit references). Everyone is complaining ohh! the new GMT still has the wrong color! It's cranberry not red . And so on and so on....Thats not entirely true. Rolex does nail the color for the Blue and the Red- PERFECTLY, but only for an instant when it's in the perfect light and the perfect angle. And never base your opinion on color on a Image you see on online even from Rolex. Those pictures never represent real world lighting. As opposed to the metal bezel in the 5 digits, which is for the most part has a much flatter finish, the cerachrom has glossier/polish finish. It will always bring in slight nuances of other color by means of a slight reflection, from other subtle shade colors that are in your environment. And that's why the finish will never ever produce the same exact color in every setting. This is

I LOVE this feeling.
Guys, I am super excited to meet my new baby tomorrow (according to Dr. Patrick, aka OCROLEXGUY, the baby will be delivered tomorrow afternoon. This baby has been on my list for a long time. Couple years back, an unfortunate event happened to me personally and I had to let go all of my watches. Two years ago, not Lady Luck, but her other cousin Mr. Bad Luck, visited us right on Thanksgiving night. We got robbed at gun points right in our house, right when I put my 7 year old Patrick to bed. All were gone. I have never complained or given up. My wife and I worked tirelessly to care for the children and try to save up to buy back the watches I love so much. Piece by piece, they started to come home. First the GMTIIc, next was the Yacht-Master (for the man that judged my character based on my misspelled of Yacht-Master and for how I did not post enough on this forum ) then the new blue Datejust 41mm, and tomorrow.......my wife and I will welcome our newest baby: Random serial Explorer II

Daily Wear Tudor dilemma
Has anyone else experience a similar dilemmaFor some time I've been looking a round for daily wear such as a beaten up 70's Tudor sub 90910 or similar, I had a tip off that a watch maker had potentially one that was up for grabs, the case was described as battered with nick scratches and minus its strap, bezel missing and crystal scratched to kingdom come and the movement wasn't functioning. I gave the watch maker a call and after a few sentences the conversation turned to what I owned, how long had I been collecting etc I gave a brief rundown and tried to get the conversation back on track, long story short the watchmaker was intending to use the Tudor as a donor watch for spares unless I wanted to sell or part exchange one of my watches as a sweetener, I inquired how much he valued the beaten up Tudor at..... ��1,800, I thanked him for his time and said id give it some thought.....I think it may have been all of 2 seconds ???? so there you have it just what I was looking for and yet
