Peter Speake-Marin Spirit Mark 2 Watch
Searching for something you will likely never see on another wrist? Peter Speake-Marin may have just the watch for you. The luxury watchmaker has announced a re-imagining of their Spirit Pioneer, nicely named the Spirit Mark 2. The Spirit Mark 2 is a redesign of the original Spirit Pioneer in that is follows the same form, but does so via a new movement, case, and dial which present a gorgeous three-hand display that is instantly recognizable as being a Speake-Marin design.The Spirit Mark 2 features the Speake-Marin signature Piccadilly three piece case, lending a 42 x 12mm sizing that is perfect for this design. I have seen a Peter Speake-Marin Piccadilly in person and the proportions are spot-on and make for a gorgeous watch with strong lugs and a detailed case design that is both unobtrusive and thoughtful. The Spirit Mark 2 features a circular ground finishing on the fixed and sterile bezel that surrounds an anti-reflective coated sapphire crystal. Timekeeping is managed by the TT7

Omega Co-Axial Movements
Hi all, wondering whether someone could help me.I am aware that Omega prior to (and slightly during) the 21st century have used ETA movements but have since switched to Co-Axial movements. Are all co-axial movements in house?Are just some considered in house?Or are none whatsoever considered in house?Due to my family's history (my great grand father developed anti-magnetic technology for the British saving thousands of allied lives because their subs were previously being blown up from magnetic triggered mines) I am interested in buying an anti magnetic piece. I like the Milgauss but I already have a Rolex and would like to add an Omega to my collection. Would the movement within this watch be considered in house? .chrono24.au/omega/sea...-id4422875.htm

Omega Planet Ocean 8500 too thick for my taste. Looking for 2500
So I bought a Planet Ocean earlier this year for my first Omega (232.30.42.21.01.003). Now that I have had it for a few months, I just can't get past the thickness of the the case. After some research, it seems the thickness is due to the newer 8500 movement that replaced the older 2500 movement.I am wondering a couple of things. First, does anyone have direct side view comparison photo(s) available? Second, what would the model number for the aesthetically equivalent 2500 movement based watch be? Second, would anyone consider a trade? I know the 8500 movement is more expensive, but frankly, I'm more interested in a watch I enjoy wearing.(Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum, still new here at TRF)

Family Photo!
I was the first watch guy in my family. I purchased my first Rolex at 25. I'm now 28. This year I sourced a 14060M for my dad and a 16234 / 1501 (solid gold) for my brother. This was the first time we were all together wearing our watches. We all got together for dinner from different parts of the province because I just got engaged last Sunday and we were having a little celebration! I wore my birth year 16570 (special occasion watch). Figured I'd share the photo!Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
