The Longines Pulsometer Chronograph, With White Lacquer Dial
Building upon its existing range of vintage-inspired chronographs within its Heritage collection, Longines introduces a handsome new watch with pulsometer scale and monopusher chronograph function. The model is inspired by a 1920's Longines watch and brings a number of old-world design elements – Breguet-style numerals and hands included – to a model that you don't have to wait to pick up at auction. 1 OF 3 The simple, highly-polished, 40 mm stainless-steel case features a sapphire crystal case back, through which you can see the ETA A08.L11 caliber beating inside. This self-winding movement offers 54 hours of power reserve and features a column-wheel monopusher chronograph mechanism, placing it above more standard ETA ebauches in terms of movement complexity and construction. 2 OF 3 A bold red pulsometer scale surrounds the white lacquer dial. To accommodate this relatively thick scale, the railroad-style minutes track is set further wit

Loose Hands? 3120 movement
Could this be a serious issue? When I set my AP diver slightly moving the minutes hand the second hand moves. My watch is running about 10+ a day. Should I worry much about this and could it worsen over time?

Forged Carbon questions
I had a few questions for the more seasoned Forged Carbon owners:1. what can damage FC? or what's the easiest way to damage an FC case?2. how easily does FC scratch? what kind of metal can scratch it?

Service rant
OK, not being a native speaker I am poor at rants How can it be fair that you have to pay regularly for overpriced servicing to a watch that was very expensive in the first place. Say, you buy a watch water proof to 300 meters, but if you don't change the 1$ rubber parts every 4 years, for like 200$ you can't trust taking a shower with it, and it's all YOUR fault It is a bit ironic, because I bought a high quality watch with some idea of it lasting for generations. Do I really own a watch or if I am an indentured servant to Omega? Am I the first one to get that thought?

What a Difference a Year Makes
Last year around this time I walked into a certain SoCal Rolex Boutique and was given a VIP show around the place by one of the salesmen. They had virtually all models on display minus the SS Daytona and all could have been picked up that day. Trying on a BLNR pulled from the case rekindled my desire for another Rolex. Took around nine months for me to pull the trigger but it was that experience that brought me back.Fast forward to yesterday. I walked into the same store occupied by a guard at the door and two sales women in the back. I was greeted with courtesy and I started browsing around. As at many dealers these days lots of Datejusts and PM pieces, not much else. I noted the shortage and asked if they were again receiving stock, especially SS sport stuff. Her reply floored me. Yes, but all those are going to our VIP customers. So I asked exactly why have a walk in boutique that only sells the good stuff to a select few? Shrugged shoulders. I thanked her for basically telling
