Tempest Commodore Review
I think a change is coming to the boutique watch world, especially in the niche of the dive watch. Slowly but surely, we're seeing more and more watch brands strive to create new, unique designs. Designs that push manufacturing abilities while maintaining solid values. The days of stock cases and hands, everything being a minor variation of each other with a different brand logo, is disappearing. Perhaps it's because the market did get saturated that now new, younger brands, feel the fire to innovate.The Tempest Commodore, the subject of today's review, exemplifies this. This new breed of boutique diver has many of the same qualities as the last gen; tough-as-nails, Asian-made divers with Japanese automatics, sapphire crystals and more, that come in under $1,000.

Different interpretations of "Lume"
Love how Omega does the lume so differently on the Speedies and all pretty cool :-)

Just put my 2254.50 on a Omega deployant...

Moisture ingress to 5711
Can anyone advise what I should expect to hear from PP service centre regarding moisture ingress to my 3.5 year old 5711? Clearly it's outside the warranty period but does that mean I'm stuck with the cost of service and repair to the movement, hands and dial?I was swimming in the pool, only on the surface, no diving etc. Watch was fine when I came out. I even took photos of it by the pool and it was perfect. Next day I was driving with my hand near the a/c vent and I noticed fogging on the crystal. I checked the crown and it was tight. It'll be several days before I can get it to the service centre so I'm worried that the damage could be extensive and hence costly. Does anyone have experience of something like this?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Strap Adjustment
Does anyone have any advice on how to to minor strap adjustments? I have a Pam 90 and it used to fit perfectly but I've lost some weight and now all of my straps are too big. They are not big enough to go to the next hole in the strap and I certainly don't want to make a new hole myself...Any ideas?Many thanks.Scott
