Watch Winner Review: Swiss Army Officer's Day/Date Mechanical
In March 2014, watches-dealer gave away a Victorinox Swiss Army Officer's Day/Date Mechanical watch. The winner was Lee M. from San Francisco, CAand this is his watch winner review of the timepiece.If I'm honest, Victorinox Swiss Army had fallen off my radar until recently. I've always had a soft spot for the Swiss Army watches: they are well made, dependable watches with nice feature sets at very reasonable prices. The problem was that I didn't find them particularly exciting. They were maybe too plain, or too conservative with some models; in other models the cases were huge, and the fonts were chunky. I thought they looked good on other people, but never looked right on my wrist.A few years ago, Victorinox did a bit of re-branding and came out with a number of very handsome mechanical watches. Still conservative, yes, but really well-finished, and not as utilitarian as some of their quartz offerings from before. When I found out I had won the Officer's Day/Date Mechanical, I was tru

Breitling Colt SuperQuartz Watches For 2011
Fan of high-end quartz watches? Breitling has a nice new piece for you. What is high-end quartz? Well not cheap quartz! The perception that all quartz watches are cheap is a bit of a shame. It is true that you can buy a quartz movement based watch for a few bucks, but high-end quartz watches are out there - and they have their fan following for sure. Breitling is one of the few Swiss brands that continually offers high-end Swiss quartz movement based timepieces in addition to mechanical watches (and not just in women's pieces).The mainstay of the Breitling quartz watch collection has always been their Aerospace watches. Those pieces are undeniably cool, but not everyone wants both analog hands and a digital display on their watch dial. So Breitling has always offered watches like this new Colt that are quartz movement based, but not digital.I am not an expert of Breitling watch collections - though my understanding is that the Colt line has not always been about quartz movements.

Finally joined the club. New 15400
Hi all,Thought I'd share a few pictures of my new AP 15400, my first ever AP.I've been saving for a while and wasn't quite sure which watch would be my next purchase until a recent visit to Vegas and an AP AD. I tried on a few different models including the 15202, the new ROC and then this 15400 white dial. The 15202 looked a little small on me and the ROC looked nice but didn't really speak to me the way the 15400 did. I didn't make a purchase then, but obsessed over this watch until I got home. I found one here on TRF that Takuya was selling (at quite a discount from the AD) and pulled the trigger. I could not be happier. Not only is this my first AP but my first white dialed watch. The dial on this thing is insane (in a good way) and the bracelet looks and feels awesome.I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story but, suffice it to say, I'm really happy to finally join the AP club!!

White gold Constellation watch with bracelet
I know of a friend who collects only vintage Omega Constellations. So far, he has three in pink and the rest yellow. He intends to get one in white gold and it so happens, there is a white gold Constellation bracelet but with no watch, listed on the Bay.Do you think he should first get the bracelet and later wait for the white gold watch to come or wait, for a complete set and that is the watch plus its bracelet, at the same time?

Water skiing in a Submariner?
I understand the water resistance, but the potential of water force in a fall has me wondering. Perhaps there is a better option?Thanks,
