Schofield Signalman GMT Watches
For a while I was talking to Giles Ellis as he was in the midst of starting a watch brand. It was interesting to see yet another independent watch brand thrust themselves along supported by one enthusiastic founder faced with a number of challenges. Ellis, and Englishman, wanted a watch that reflected his tastes and ideals. For him Schofield is a true Gentleman's brand and offers the types of watches he wants to hear. He has great admiration for both the historic and contemporary English watch makers that are helping to bring horological street cred back to the UK.Schofield's first pieces are called the Signalman. Two watches, both limited editions, that are offered in a polished steel or matte DLC coated black steel case. The case is pretty interesting and unfortunately doesn't come across super well in these images. I will try to do some hands-on stuff in the future. It is 44mm wide and produced locally in Britain.? While not a diver per se, the watch is water resistant to 500 meters

Omega to Breitling
Gents,Recently purchased an Omega Speedmaster racing with the yellow. Spent around $4,700 on the piece and could not stand the watch once it left the store as it pulled the hair in my arm and was very uncomfortable to wear. The Jewler said I could switch it for another omega or a Breitling. I'd really like to stay around the same price...maybe around $5,000. Good options? I currently own a new ceramic sub and a Tag heuer blue regatta.The watch has to be new as this is an authorized dealer.Thanks Gents.

Speedmaster polishing?
Hi,Just purchased my first Speedy a couple weeks ago, a 2002 3572.50 Hesalite sandwich. It is in need of a polishing on the case, bracelet and hesalite front crystal. Aside from sending off for service, can anyone recommend a DIY home polishing to at least clean it up a bit?

picked up an omega...
Been in the market for a Speedmaster...Auto, Pro, not super important to me.But since I'm building a race-engine for a car right now, saving a big chunk of money wasn't a difficult decision to make when I found this gem locally:I think it's an early model with that caseback. It's not brandnew, but then again, neither am I. lol.
