Gevril GV2 Corsaro Chronograph Is Example Of What To Watch Out For
I have a lot of respect for the people at Gevril and the Gevril Group overall - especially here in the US. However, this is a watch that I needed to go off on for a few reasons. You can see a lot of the BS in this industry by examining some of the details surrounding this watch and the way it is marketed. Items like this provide a good example at why being an educated watch buyer makes sense.This watch is the "limited edition" GV2 Corsaro Chronograph watch. GV2 is a sub-brand under the higher-end Gevril brand. In the last few years, GV2 has moved around a bit in terms of market placement, but has tried to remain an affordable mechanical watch. They apply the term limited edition without discussing the number?of the limited edition in the marketing materials. What does that mean? It means they don't know and it will just be produced as long as they can sell units. That sometimes means not even a full series are made. In other situations it means a brand will produce more than the limite

Tourbillon Watches In A Nutshell; Expensive, Fun To Watch, Serve Little Purpose
If you know all about tourbillon watches, then none of this should be surprising or new to you. If you don't, you might have a couple of outstanding questions as to what a tourbillon is, why prestigious watch makers say you should want one, and why they are so expensive. This article is not going to be an in-depth analysis or explanation as to how a tourbillon works in detail, or all the different flavors, but it will shed enough light on the topic for you to participate intellectually in any topic related conversation.The tourbillon has been around for a long time and was patented by watch making master Abraham Louis Breguet in (who founded Breguet watches that is still around today and owned by the Swatch Group) in 1795 and patented 1801. That patent has long since expired. Tourbillon is French for "whirlwind." This is because the mechanism literally spins on itself. Breguet's ideas was essentially to house a clock within a clock. While this characterization is a bit off realistica

Introducing: The Tiffany CT60 Annual Calendar Limited Edition
There are a lot of ways to classify complications, but one of the most basic is that there are complications that invite you to interact with a watch more (the chronograph, the repeater) and those that invite you to interact with the watch less. The latter might include anything that improves accuracy, and relieves you of the burden of re-setting the watch too frequently. It also includes calendar complications, especially the perpetual calendar – which, in theory, keeps you from having to reset the date by hand in any month of fewer than 31 days, including the month of February, even in a leap year. 1 OF 5 I say “in theory” because for much of the history of the perpetual calendar, it’s been a complication you approach with a little circumspection. As we discussed in our introduction of the MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual, the traditional construction of a perpetual calendar involves a large program wheel that interacts with a very complicated,

15202 Jumbo vs 5167? Pics + poll
Hey guys. Back with a Dilemma of course.Let me just point out that my purchase for either of these watches will be in Stainless Steel.The RG was the only one avail for both, but gives you guys an idea.Which is your pick?I think the two make a killer combo, however that is not in the budget. I have already decided that I prefer the 15202 over the 5711 as my genta design watch.The 5167 IMO is just a completely different watch. Very cool, very subtle, and a cool casual look.I can only buy one, and the next purchase will have to wait quite a long time as I will be tied with some other things.Between these two pieces. Which would you pick?Thanks guys

The Rolex Explorer II discontinued or change moving forward...
As the title reads, there is unwarranted speculation that the 216570 could be discontinued this year at Basel. I feel that Rolex does things a bit differently and could wait until the 50th anniversary in year 2021 to update the reference with new design, movement, case etc...Thoughts???
