Jack Heuer, Father of the TAG Heuer Carrera: The WatchTime Q&A
In 1963, the Heuer watch company (today’s TAG Heuer) released the first Carrera, a chronograph inspired by auto racing, which went on to become an international icon. As TAG Heuer celebrates the Carrera’s 50th anniversary this year, WatchTime sits down for a candid interview with the man who created the Carrera, watch-industry living legend Jack Heuer. WT:???? This year marks the 50th anniversary of the TAG Heuer Carrera, the sports watch that you conceived 50 years ago. Did you think back then that it would become as iconic as it is today?JH:????? In all fairness, no, but when I entered the watch industry, one couldn’t foresee many of the fundamental changes that have happened to it in the years since. I would have never imagined, for example, that watches with Swiss-made movements would move into such a small niche �� only about three percent of the world market in units, in a market of 1.5 billion watches a year. This was unimaginable in my early years.WT:???? Since

New ROC, send it to the AP spa or not?
Hi guys, After a couple of months on the lookout I finally got my hands on a roc. It's a 25860 dated 2005 it's in good condition, visually! but with unknown service documentation.This is going to be my one and only for a while, I also have a leather and rubber strap for it. So I guess I be just fine with just the one. How ever before I sell my other watches (15300 st, iwc 3714 & Milgauss) I plan to have a full service and polish on this one. I'm in Sweden and it's about 15000 sek (2000 usd) for a full service and polish. I don't mind paying that, but it's running -4 sec a day and keeps about 40 h power reserv and the chrono is working flawless. So to the question:Should I hold of with the service since it seems to be running fine? Or have it done right away anyways, I have no plans on letting this one go so I guess I might as well do it right away.. And start of fresh :) ImageUploadedByTapatalk1428156851.858745.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1428156874.260807.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk

3700 vs. 5711 - vintage vs. new
Evening allAnyone care to share an opinion on the classic nautilus 3700 compared to the modern 5711? I've read a few things online and I'm aware of a few of the major differences (movement, case construction, second hand on the 5711, dial color, print on dial) but just wanted to hear some opinions.I've always loved vintage...LOVE. And though I've never experienced a 3700 in person, I'm sure it is marvelous. Still, as I finalize my purchase of a 5711 tomorrow, I haven't been able to justify the extra 14K or so needed to get a 3700. I'm curious...Do you guys feel, from a wear and/or investment standpoint, one wins over the other?

Just sharing. Change the strap to a less dressy one. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1416932424.127713.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1416932439.050774.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1416932455.675972.jpg

Sea Dweller advice
Hi, I am looking for advice on purchasing a preowned seadweller. My budget would be $5500-5800 US. Is this reasonable to expect, and if so what year, serial number, and condition should I look for? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
