Arnold & Son Royal TES Tourbillon With A Sapphire Twist
We have said this before and will say it again: the tourbillon, as visually arresting and technically challenging of a complication as it is, over the course of the last decade or so, has become more and more?widely available, with just about any and all higher-end brands?featuring it in their portfolios. The?Arnold & Son Royal TES Tourbillon manages to spice things up just enough to render?the "whirlwind" in watchmaking?more?refreshing and fascinating, all the?while?leaving this?over 2-century-old invention nearly perfectly intact.So how?does Arnold & Son's achievement justify this potentially controversial assertion? First, let's see where the Arnold & Son Royal TES Tourbillon watch remains business as usual.?As far as actual performance is concerned,?this 2014 novelty?features the more ubiquitous?1-minute tourbillon, in this case, operating at 3 Hertz, or 21,600 vibrations per hour. And while that is slightly above the 18 thousand beats per hour standard of tourbillons,

Crown Came Off Seamster Professional PO
Was setting date and time after not having worn it for a few days. Felt like I couldn't get it to seat when I was screwing it back in after setting the time. I wasn't using excessive force at all, but the crown just ended up coming off. Can anyone let me know what happened/what I need to do? Thanks!

Speedtona
After 13 years of Daytona ownership, I was recently bitten by the Speedy Pro while on vacation. The biggest positive for the Omega over the Rolex (other than price)? One word: LEGIBILITY. The Daytona's highly polished hands and tachymeter bezel are terrible for low light situations they basically turn black and disappear without reorienting the viewing angle.As this picture shows - I've always been a sucker for a balanced subdial layout. The Bucherer dates from about 1974 and I wore it from high school through college.

Incoming LV!
If someone six weeks ago would've asked me whether or not I would pay this kind of money for a green watch I would've told them they were crazy. However, looking at everyone's pictures over the last month or so I have really grown to the point where I had to have one. Pictures do not do it justice. Different lighting throws of different shades of green. Great addition to my Rolex collection . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
