A Week On The Wrist: The Tudor Heritage Black Bay Reference 7922R
Wearing the Tudor Black Bay for a week has been an extremely interesting experience – this is actually the first watch I’ve ever had in for review where the crown tube was the key to understanding the appeal of the watch as a whole. Strange but true, I found the crown tube enchanting, compelling, and even romantic – and thereby hangs a tale. 1 OF 14 It’s one that, as we related when we first viewed the watch in 2012 and reported back to you on it, began many years ago when the first Tudor Submariner diver’s watches were released all the way back in 1954 (hot on the heels of the better remembered Rolex Sub and Blancpain 50 Fathoms; it seems unfair given its early birth date that the Tudor Sub isn’t more frequently mentioned in the same breath as the other two, as a pioneering diver's watch, but life is nothing if not unfair). Anyway, that watch inspired many elements of today’s Black Bay – the configuration of the lume pl

The Best Baselworld 2015 Swag So Far: A Hip Flask Full Of Booze, From NOMOS
It has become common at BaselWorld (and all trade shows for that matter) for brands to gift small items to journalists and retailers after meeting with them. We aren't talking much here – I would say the industry standard is a box of Swiss chocolates. Sometimes we might receive a pen, notepad, or other essentially perishable items that will be lost likely before we even hit the airport to return home. Occasionally, you get something great. This year, NOMOS hit the spot. 1 OF 1 Yup, that's a flask. And not only is it a flask, but it is a full flask. Loaded up with some top-tier Jamaican rum, NOMOS is skipping over the standard fare and giving us journalists exactly what we want, nay, need to survive over a week of 18 hour days and close to 100 appointments. The flask is small and sutble, and will absolutely become part of this week's conversation. It is, for the record, six times thicker, however, than the new NOMOS thin self-winding movement, which we wi

Wait for new Sub or BLNR now
I just got a call from the AD who has a BLNR now and is holding it till Saturday. I was looking for feedback on either waiting on whatever changes if any (new movement..)on the sub released during the Basel show. Does anyone know how long after Basel will watches be available? Also I've had three subs over the years, but not the GMT.

Are these the correct spring bars?
Recently bought an early 118239 from a reputable seller. Had it checked out by the watchmaker at my AD and he said it was in good shape, authentic, etc. but that he thought it might have spring bars from an older watch, like a 18239. He said the spring bars are authentic and Rolex, but there is a little bit of wiggle where the bracelet meets the case and it should be tighter. His feeling was that they were a little bit thinner than they should have been, and the notches didn't line up correctly.This is a P serial with the older style clasp, heavy President bracelet.The merchant sent me a new set of spring bars, and before I drive 45 minutes to see if my guy can put them in, I wanted to see if they seemed correct to the experts on here. Can you take a look, please? They are definitely white, please excuse the distorted color in photo.Thanks!
