Gearing Up for SIHH 2013: IWC Ingenieur Chronograph Racer
News of new watch launches at next month’s SIHH watch fair in Geneva continues to trickle into WatchTime’s offices, the latest from IWC Schaffhausen. Last year, IWC focused on expanding and revamping its Pilot’s Watch collection. It appears that in 2013, it will be the brand’s sporty Ingenieur collection in the spotlight, starting with the new Ingenieur Chronograph Racer.The reason for the revamping and expanding of the Ingenieur �� which IWC introduced in the 1950s and whose modern, industrial look was heavily influenced by the designs of G��rald Genta in the 1970s �� is the brand’s new partnership with the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One racing team. IWC and Mercedes-Benz have had a relationship since 2004, but 2013 will mark the first year that they will join forces in the Formula One racing arena.

Seamaster 1980s Quartz
Picked up this little gem for a song. Cal 1337 quartz Seamaster from around 1980 or so. It isn't in the Omega database but so many of these old quartz Seamasters weren't. Recently serviced, seals replaced, not a bad deal for $100. Sent from my  using Tapatalk

Can you negotiate
I am considering buying the PO 42mm but the online price I can find is ?250 cheaper than the high street stores. Can you negotiate with high street chains or are they unable to offer discounts? I would prefer to buy from a known high street shop but ?250 is a big difference in price.

Can anyone help me to get the Oysterflex bracelet?
Hi all,I bought my new 116518LN Daytona about a month ago and it comes with EE and EF sized Oysterflex which is too large for my wrist (16.5cm). I went to the RSC at Hongkong and it turned out size ED is running out of stock and I need to wait ages for it! It's really a bummer to just let my new watch sits in the box unable to really wear it for a very long time. I sincerely hope you guys can help me out here. I'm based at China and I'm willing to pay whatever it takes to get a single size ED Oysterflex bracelet. Many thanks!Li
