2015 Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair Is Coming Up Soon And We Will Be There
2015 marks?the 34th Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and �C on a personal note �C my second year in a row that I get to visit this unique exhibition. Last year, prior to?my first trip to Hong Kong, I?only had a blunt idea on what to expect as far as the?range of watches on display was concerned �C and the fact that over 750 exhibitors were reported to be present made me wonder even more about what exactly I was going to see there. Held between?September 8 and 12, 2015, this year's event will host some 780?exhibitors in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and we'll be there once again �C let's see what are some of the more notable points of discussion.You may find my detailed report from the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair of 2014 here?�C in a nutshell, though, what you need to know is that this fair is almost exclusively reserved for the watch industry, with just one open day for the public. That means that this is a major event where from the?smaller workshops all the way to?hu

Ochs Und Junior New Colors And Names For Watches
New patinated dial and handsTwo news items from watch maker ochs und junior - a new moonphase look and a sweeping rename of the models. Since it's brief, we will deal with the rename first. Previously, their watches had evocative names like 'Selene' for moon phase, which probably caused confusion. The line is now renamed according to what they're calling 'time horizons.'Very prosaic and practical. Should make it easier to shop their collection.The other news is the new dial on the moon phase, seen above. The new dial is brass, patinated using a sculpture restoration technique that turns it dark grey. Once that's done, they mill out the indices, moon and date dot to reveal the brass beneath.The hands are also brass, satinized instead of patina finsihed, with a hand-painted second hand. Gotta love that attention to detail.And of course, part of the appeal of the moon phase is the mechanism. Only five parts, and the most accurate in a watch. You can get the full details in my review here.

Back from service
Just got my Breitling back from a BUSA full service and wanted to share. It turned out looking like new again. Couldn't be happier with the results.

incoming Calatrava, please answer ?
I purchased my first PP today and expect arrival by Thursday. It is 34 MM and preowned. My birthday was this past Thursday and my wife said get something you want. Is she great or what? Anyway the leather strap is black on my incoming and I prefer brown. The seller was unable to assist in changing to an authenticl brown strap so I passed on exchange. I have searched in vain today for the lug size on this watch with the hopes of finding a genuine PP strap on TRF to my liking. Can any of you knowledgable PP folks tell me the strap deminsions I need for this watch? Having worn Rolex for about 30 years I know I will have some adjusting to do with the smaller size of this watch vs my Tudor BB or 116718. It comes with the papers from the AD, non original box and a 2 year warranty but at a more economic price point for me since its used. While its to late to ask now, are there any drawbacks to obtaining service with the manufacturer if you are not the orgiinal purchaser should I need

Rolex President 18238
