Simply Named Eterna KonTiki Diver Is Amazing And Heralds Eterna's Return To The USA
Good ol' Eterna. I am so happy they are soon to be officially distributed in the US once again. Eterna is not well known, and that is a shame. The company actually started ETA, which makes most of the movements in all Swiss watches. ETA was later sold to the Swatch Group. Eterna also makes all the Porsche Design watches. In my opinion, it is one of the most underrated and unacknowledged brands out there. If their marketing department is paying any attention, that ought to change soon when they re-enter the US market.The first watch to be sold along with their KonTiki Anniversary model, is the "Eterna KonTiki Diver." This watch is actually a few years overdue, having been announced a while ago. For me, this is the best combination of features and elements one could ask for in a modern looking technical dive watch. It is an accurate chronometer, it is easy to read, has a power reserve, and has a nice sophisticated look that does not make you look like you drive a large truck everywhere.

A Mad Men WIS?
Last year Don Draper wore an Explorer all year. On last nights show he checked the time and, what's that, a black face Seamaster. Now if he could give up the sack suits...

Swatch Group Target
Thought the following may be of interest to some Omega fans:Just read on the BBC Telextext page that Swatch Group are looking for sales growth of between 5% and 10% in 2012 after reporting record sales in 2011 (up 21.7% to ��4.8bn / $7.5bn). I wonder where they are aiming most the the sales growth from? I'd reckon they'd have to shift a fair number of Swatch watches to reach their target, so I guess there will be a lot of pressure on the Omega Division.

Ceramic Insert for Deepsea
Anyone know/had one replaced by RSC and know what the cost was?I phoned Rolex UK and the lady on the phone said roughly ��100 that sounds a bit cheap to me, not this is just the insert and not the whole bezel

Tudor 79260 dilemma (dial change)
I'm hoping the forum can help me on a choice for a dial change, or alternatively let me know if I should leave it alone.I sent a all black dial Tiger chrono in for a service and at the same time have it refurbished etc.I would like a black dial with white counters. There is no issue with this request, however the caveat is that if I do change it it will not have the word Tiger on the dial, nor numerals. They can get a new dial with Tiger but it will have to be the same dial colour combo. The reason is that the Tiger dials are out of production whereas the normal ones are available (prince date, no Tiger). Markers instead of numerals.What do I do? The market seems to prefer the non Tiger as do I. The paperwork will still remain in tact as it refers to the black dial, but the Tiger box will obviously be off.This watch will remain in the family etc but I don't want to ruin its value.
