Patton P42 Hyperbare Watch
Sometime last year this new watch brand was born in France, with a decidedly American sounding name. Patton currently makes three watch models - each a variation of the P42 design. Each are diver style watches, and one is a chronograph model. I would like to focus on the more hardcore model of the trio, which the Patton P42 Hyperbare - based on "hyperbaric chamber" (pressure chamber). The watch is filled with a formula of mineral oil that cannot really be condensed very much, creating space that is more or less immune to high pressure. The alternative is a case filled with air, or some type of gas. Oil filled watches are not common, but not unheard of. The Patton P42 Hyperbare isn't the only one around by any means, but might be one of the nicest ones. These are pretty watches, given their French design.Mineral oil benefits from being non conductive. Meaning that the Swiss quartz movement in the watch won't be affected by the oil because it won't short it out. The entire case is litera

Horus straps
Horus straps do some funky patterns/colours for the ROO's.Anyone purchased and if so what's the quality like?

In the market for an Omega: Planet Ocean vs. Speedmaster Pro
I am currently thinking about adding an Omega to the collection. The two strongest contenders is the Omega Planet Ocean Orange XL 2208.50 or the Omega Speedmaster Professional Double sapphire 3573.50. Having a hard time in deciding between the two. I love the sportiness of the Planet Ocean and I think the size is better fit for my wrist. But I also love the timelessness of the Speedmaster. The newly released Planet Oceans really overshadow the old ones, and I am worried about getting a watch that will soon be dated.

Opinion please Chaps, Speedy Cal 9300
My Moon watch was stolen last yearNow looking for a replacement so in the local AD i saw this and fell in love I was just wondering what you all think about the 9300 movement?Cheers and All the Best for 2012

Houston- we might have a problem: 5905
Woke up yesterday, my 4 month old Patek 5905 had stopped. Was wearing it the day before so that was odd. The watch i Think has a 72 hour power reserve. However the stopwatch was running so I thought I must have accidentally started the Chrono24 and left it running overnight which drained the power.Wore it again yesterday with no chrono- everything fine all day. This morning- stopped again.Looks like I'm gonna be sending it in to the AD. Pisser as I now have to sit and wait likely months to get the watch back. Maybe they will give me a 5524 as compensation for my troubles. 😊 :)
