Pebble Time Round Watch
When it comes to the smart watch segment, you have a multitude of options these days. One of the earlier brands to hit the scene was Pebble, with their selling point being the e-ink screen that was, for one, always on and, second, made for some long battery life. All of their previous offerings have been more of a square or rectangle, which sort of conforms to the rectangular slab aesthetic we have come to expect from the phone manufacturers. When it comes to watches, there is something that just feels "more right" when it is a round case �C and the folks at Pebble must agree, as they have just announced the Pebble Time Round.Round is obviously the story here - the Pebble Time Round looks more like a traditional watch. You can, of course, make it look as traditional as you would like via watch faces in their store. Of note is the e-ink screen which is in color now, rather than monochrome. Do not expect to see quite the colors an LCD would give you; instead, think of it as a way to accen

Hands-On: With The Breguet 7077 La Tradition Chronograph Independant

Front and center at 12 o'clock is a sub dial with hob-nail pattern guilloche work in the expected Breguet style. Carved out from this dial in an expansive fashion are the power reserve indicator on the right and the chronograph minutes on the left.A medley of blasted plates, perfectly decouvertured jewel holes and sharp beveling make up the bulk of what's on display, until we reach the tw

Seamaster- loud rotor
So, my new to me 2255 has been with me 2 days now. I have noticed I can hear/feel the rotor much more than my Rolex watches.Is this normal, I thought I read somewhere that Omega uses a ball bearing or different mechanism that makes the winding rotor more noticable?Just trying to learn a bit more about the watch. Could a noisy rotor mean it could be due for a service? It appears to be keeping good time.

Question regarding AD and Grey dealers.
I was wondering can an AD, purchase a Patek from a Grey dealer and sell it in their store to their customers?If so, is there a way to check that the Patek was indeed from the factory to the Ad?

SS Sky Dweller Owners in DC/VA/MD
Evening All,Are there any owners of the SS Sky Dweller in the above areas who'd be happy to meet me to see the watch please? This might look at mite dodgy to some, but I can assure you that my interest is genuine (after all, look at my previous posts) and I want to see what the blue/white/black version looks like in the flesh. I'm especially interested to see a blue dial version. If there are any takers, let me know and I can PM you and we can set something up. I work in DC for the Feds, so can do anything within the 8-5 time frame.Best,TA
