A Brief History Of Ladies' Complicated Watches: Old Technology, New Innovations
“Is that a moon-phase?”After the sold-out New York City premiere of David Armstrong’s documentary The Watchmaker’s Apprentice, a group of watch enthusiasts gathered at Distilled in TriBeCa. A fellow collector grabbed my wrist. She turned it around to look at the dial of my watch.“I thought you were wearing a moon-phase,” she said.I was not. It was a 1949 Bulova Walton, with a small seconds subsidiary dial at 6 o’clock, easily mistaken for a moon-phase in the low light of the bar. But her assumption that it was a moon-phase only proves how familiar ladies' complicated watches are becoming. We’re in the age of the smartwatch. Yet complex mechanical watches still hold an enduring allure, as evinced by the gathering of enthusiasts at the premiere. Additionally, this marks a golden age of complicated watches for women, as watch companies recognize the changing needs and tastes of their female clientele. 2 OF 5 Despite

AP Diver Strap Options *Photo requests*
Hello TRF,I would like to kindly request your photos of the AP Diver featuring various AP straps and aftermarket straps. Although I am a very avid diver, this piece will never see the ocean. I am debating adding one to go with my 15400. Leaning towards the white dial since I have a black dial 15400. Many thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Speedmaster Professional Accuracy?
I've recently purchased a Speedmaster Professional and I've got a question on the accuracy. It's gained 4 minutes in roughly 14 days? I know some machanicals gain or loose a certain amount but what is acceptable? Probably more to the point is it worth sending back to AD, would they adjust it or send back to Omega. How would this compare with a Rolex GMT or Sub?

Incoming Friday... First Pam!
So I have been not sure on where to go with my collection. Don't have a ton of funds and typically keep it to 2 or 3 watches, right now have a Rolex 114060 and love it. Was looking at adding a BLNR, but wanted to look outside Rolex as wellWent and tried on a 44mm basic sandwich dial today and fell in love with the simplicity of the Pam112. Display caseback, manual wind, strap changing options, it's going to be awesome! Worked out a deal with DavidSW and should be here Friday morning Unboxing and wrist pics soonNow for the strap obsession I've been told so much about... where do you guys recommend I look for vintage leather straps?
