HourTime Show Podcast Episode 5 - Bell & Ross Goes Electric + Some Buying Tips
This is a good show in term of content, but the recording was done while I lost my voice, and while John was in China (he couldn't even test to see if we posted it online properly because the Internet is so heavily censored in China!). So pardon our oddities or faintness in sound. Just turn that volume way up! Enjoy folks.We talk about the "Grey Market" for watches, watch companies' animosity toward allowing you to buy online, and the Internet's and Bell & Ross' role in changing what the Watch Grey Market looks like.? The new, thinnest Pathfinder PAW-2000 from Casio with satellite syncing, auto-illumination and much more that makes it a go-to outdoor watch.? We then complain about watch accessories that are as expensive or more expensive than the watches themselves.? We then introduce the concept of Febreezing your nylon straps.? John puts forth some knowledge about GMT watches.Listen to HourTime episode 5 at HourTimeShowwatches-dealer here.Or, download/stream the .mp3 here.

AP ROO Panda for AP ROO Steel 44m?
Hey guy,Considering upgrading my ROO Panda for the AP ROO Steel 44mm. But before anything wanted to ask opinions from the boys on the WIS forum. Also, any pics to support an arguement would be appreciated

My numbered FOIS is no more!
It is now a FSIS (First Speedmaster in Space), #1/1, a Sigma 7 commemorative.Some of you recall my project about 10 years ago to build a Speedmaster like the one worn by Wally Schirra on his October 3, 1962 Mercury flight. Circumstances did not permit completion of the project but I kept the case back I had fabricated at the time:It sat in a drawer awaiting a final polish if an opportunity ever arose to use it. When Omega introduced the FOIS at Basel, I suspected the opportunity just might happen. On the day of introduction, I called Jim at Continental and placed my order.I must admit that the OEM FOIS case back was a disappointment, my only disappointment with Omega's effort. I patiently waited as long as I could (didn't want to risk my warranty) but I recently took the ∑7 to my local watchmaker (Gary at Wilson Watch Company) for him to do the final polishing.So without further ado:What do you think?

I am thinking of a omega seamaster professional
I saw a seamaster professional auto chronometer today for $1900. Has anyone had problems with this watch, and what is the difference between an eta movement and the movement in the omega. Any advice is welcomed.Thanks in advance.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

Giving up on Daytona 16520 so 116520
Since the $10K 16520 from last year doesn't seem to exist anymore (which is my favorite), I've decided due to budgetary reasons that I will need to stick to a 116520. Is there any preferable series for any reason or pretty much the same watch from 2000 through the introduction of the Ceramic model? Thanks.
