Archimede SportTaucher M Watch
Conservative sport watch brand Archimede does it again with the new SportTaucher (Sport Taucher) M watch. This diver is a rational man's friend with a sturdy German-made steel case, 300 meters of water resistance and a sapphire crystal. It doesn't aim to excite sot much as it does to simply perform - again, another Teutonic tool.The case is 41.5mm wide, done in a satin finish (very tool-like look) with a matching rotating bezel. The crown is placed at 4 o'clock as is the date dial in effort to preserve the placement of the Arabic numerals located at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. I like the rounded crown guard and feel it adds a softer look to the case. At 12mm thick, the case should feel rather reasonable on the wrist.Archimede will offer the SportTaucher M with two dial colors: Black and blue. The black version has easy to see white hands and hour markers with red trim, the blue model is trimmed in orange and has a bit of a "tropical" feel to it.In addition to the metal bracelet, the watch

First Omega in Space Ltd Edition... worth buying?
As an omega fan, I really hated Omega making millions of meaningless limited editions just ruining masterpieces like moonwatch.Anyways, in this basel 2012, seems like they came up with a ltd edition that looks worth buying...This has cal. 1861 and is a replica of the first omega that was sent to space.So, do you guys think this is a limited edition finally worth buying and will keep its value along the way?

New shoes for the Beast
This Maratac composite strap just arrived:It matches up nicely with the box although I wish it tapered down. But for $20, I can't complain.Fr. John?

AD Madeira, Portugal has some SS sport stock
Just returned from holiday. The AD in Madeira Portugal has one of the best recent in-store stock selections I have seen. Well, for Europe anyway I guess........They had GMT2c LN, both Explorer 2 - 42mm, both dial of YM 40mm, DSSD black, both Milgauss, Air King, Explorer 39mm, DJ41 fluted/jubilee in blue & silver and a lot of other DJ 41 configurations.And that was just the SS availability, also had a lot of PM stock as well incl. one Sub. LB. I wanted the GMT2LN, but decided not to go for it at the last minute. They should have most of this in stock still avail. as they appear to not move stock there for some reason. Although they did move a Sub. ND whilst I was there.For such a small AD, their large available stock was really interesting to see as I did not expect to see very much.
