A. Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Lumen Watch
For 2013 one of the limited edition A. Lange & Sohne watches will be this neat looking and very high-end Grand Lange 1 Lumen timepiece. The piece is a mix of a few ideas that Lange has offered over the years. While typically very heavy on the "look what cool new stuff we developed," language, German A. Lange & Sohne is much more straight-forward in how they discuss this watch. In fact, while this piece will sell rather well, it is a sort of Frankenstein's monster of Lange using ideas from a few past watches together without anything really new. It is a great watch, but it does lack that "wow" factor Lange is usually able to deliver with their new products. I will however say that what is new, is very useful.The Grand Lange 1 was re-done for 2012 and covered hands-on here. It is a larger version of the 38.5mm Lange 1, and a smaller version of the older Grand Lange 1. The new version is about 41mm wide and is one of A. Lange & Sohne's best pieces. You know what it lacks thoug

Victorinox Swiss Army Alpnach Black Ice Chronograph Watch
This is the newest watch from Victorinox Swiss Army, but I am not sure I recognize it as a Swiss Army watch. Over the last few years Swiss Army watches have been changing a lot. Not only in style, but also in terms of the types of watches they are offering. I mostly think of them as offering really nice quartz watches that are a great value for $300 -$500 bucks. But this Alpnach Black Ice Chronograph is a mechanical watch for close to 2,000 Euros. Does it make sense?The trend at the brand has been "mechanical mechanical!" for a good set of years now. I don't mind more mechanical offerings from Swiss Army, but I sure hope that doesn't mean they are fully abandoning their quartz watch base. Good news comes from pieces like the "new" Swiss Army Original watch that offer a strong look and Swiss quartz movement for an entry level price of around $300. Swiss Army is really popular in the US and I just don't want them to price themselves out of their own market by going full mechanical with w

Just wanted to share pic from last weekend. I attending a wedding and wore my 372. This watch is so nice to wear!

After thorough review, this watch needs to be in EVERYONES collection.
Let me first start by saying I was wrong.I'll admit whenever someone would bring up Tudor, I'd roll my eyes. All this talk about the Black Bay on the forums. Why would I care about a watch that was budget version of a Submariner? Especially since I have many Rolex divers...... stupid me.My snobbish attitude towards Tudor kept me away from probably one of the best modern sport watches of our time. Fast forward to the Vegas GTG. My brothers graduation was coming up, so I decided to get a Black Bay Heritage ETA for him. I ended up winning another Tudor in the raffle (Hurray TRF!) and chose another BB ETA for myself.I get home, look at it for a bit and throw it in the safe. It might as well have been lost in between all the other watches. Even the Rolex stable wasn't getting much time since I've been in the AP/PP pool, why would the Tudor see the light of day again?Months go by, and I figure why not let's put it on. I love my five digits, but they felt a bit undersized and fragile. My six

Been racking my brain between the SubC, SubC Date, and the SD43.
I’m having a tough time deciding between the Sub, SubC, and the new Sea Dweller. I read some previous threads and am more confused than ever. A bit about me:-I never look at the date complication on my watch, I don’t even set the date on watches that have it -I do a ton of research and contemplating beforehand, and then never sell any of my watches-I have 6 3/4” wrists-I own an Explorer 1-Comfortable with the price difference between all 3 watchesWhat I see as the positives and negatives of eachND Sub:P-Cleanest dialP-Under the RadarN-Have an Explorer 1 and worry that if I added a bezel and replaced the numbers I’d have a sub. This is the least differentiated from the Explorer. Sub Date:P-Has a bit more differentiation from my Explorer due to the cyclopsP-Bit more wrist presence/visually more interesting by comparison to the ND Sub but still understatedN-I don’t even set the date/look at the date on any of my watchesSeadweller 43:P-Wrist presence- I like t
