Archimede Outdoor Protect and PVD Review
A couple of years ago, we got the chance to review the Archimede Outdoor. We were impressed back then, but in the years that have past, have longed to revisit the watch. Not simply because we missed it, which we did, but because in those 2 years, we've seen so many watches that I kept thinking, "wow, the Outdoor was really unique… Perhaps more unique than we gave it credit for originally." Which is true, there isn't anything else quite like the Outdoor; it's a daily watch, a tool watch, a field watch, a sport watch…all wrapped up into a compact, understated and well-priced package.If that weren't enough, they've also released two new versions of the watch, one of which replaced the version we originally reviewed. The new versions are the Protect, which features a hardened steel case (more on that later) and the PVD, which is simply PVD coated. They also had released a full-lume dial option at some point, which seemed worth examining. So, today we're going to look at one of

Omega
I have made no secret of the fact that I like Omega watches. I find them to be very robust, exceptionally well built, attractive and comfortable. I have a pretty nice, but modest, Omega collection going right now.I have also made no secret of the fact that I am looking for the perfect watch. I realize it is not necessarily realistic. But I am thinking the Seamaster might be exactly what I have been looking for. Simple, clean, swim proof, attractive, comfortable and lume that lasts all night. Yet even with all that, the blue was kind of getting to me. I love the color, but it can be a lot every day. So I picked up the black as well. I put the adjustable clasp on both and my speedy too. I will actually put the blue one on a black rubber with deployment. But I wanted to have the adjustable clasp for when I do put it back on steel. I love the fact that these watches are all relatively reasonable in terms of price as well.

LiquidMetal: does it live up to hype?
I currently do not own an Omega, but saw that at least one of their models has a Liquidmetal case. If someone owns one, I would appreciate feedback on scratch resistance and weight compared to Titanium or other metals.I visited the Liquidmetal website and naturally it placed LM above Ti, steel, etc. in all categories. And Apple has made several proprietary contracts with LM, suggesting the iPhone6 or another Apple device will have a LM case.But I was hoping to hear from an owner about the LM properties. And if it is so great, why aren't other major watch makers using it?Thanks in advance.

Tudor 72060 Bracelet Question
Anyone have the 72060 Tudor Bracelet? I want to do some comparisons because I feel that this one may be counterfeit. My initial reaction once I saw the bracelet was that it had to be counterfeit. The the end-links have metal shards hanging off of them. Tudor would never send something like this out from the factory correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
