Xetum Tyndall PVD Black Watch
This month California-based watch maker Xetum will release a PVD black cased version of their Tyndall watch. You can even get one in time for Halloween. The Tyndall is their flagship watch and comes in a 40mm wide steel case. This Tyndall PVD model is black with a matte finish. It also has a PVD black coated rotor in the automatic Swiss ETA 2895 movement. That isn't anything hugely different compared to the current model, but it is a new color selection which does add a nice additional flavor to the Tyndall collection.Right now the Tyndall PVD will only be available on a black leather strap. Perhaps a PVD bracelet will be available in the future. Another piece of good news is that the PVD black version of the Tyndall will only cost $100 more than the polished metal version. That means a retail price of $1,495 and you can pre-order them here. The watches ship on October 23, 2012.Tech specs from Xetum:Xetum Tyndall PVD - $1495Pre-ordering available nowShipping begins October 23, 2012Orde

Cartier Artistic Crafts & High Jewelry Watches For 2012
At the exclusive watch show SIHH, Cartier has one of the largest booths. A lot of their space is dimly lit with museum style showcases offering glimpses of items you probably won't see anywhere else. Given that the show is not open to the public, most people will never see these pieces at all. In the cases are a range of artistic and high-jewelry creations that the French brand has produced for the year. Some of these are piece uniques, some parts of limited editions, and some might not even be sold at all. Whatever the nature of the item, I am usually sure to find at least a few beautiful things.Not all of these items are watches, but most are. High-jewelry (or haute joaillerie as it is often known) enjoys having "mystery display" watches where dials are only revealed after opening or sliding something to the side. That is certainly the case with an item I have not covered in this article, but will in a separate piece. It is just too amusing to be part of a pack, and is how Cartier do

SIAP. I debated about posting this on the open thread board but I figured there's enough of a relationship with Omega. Enjoy!.youtube/watch?feature...&v=24mTIE4D9JM

Omega Servicing Question
Am thinking of buying a pre-loved 3570.50 as per my previous thread on the Speedmaster and was wondering how Omega deals with servicing used watches? Is it like Rolex where they don't really care who owns the watch? They just service it, charge you an arm and leg to service, then ship it back with a 2yr warranty in your name?Thanks,Eric
