Renovated Omega Museum in Biel Reopens
The Omega Museum in Biel reopened on May 3, following several months of renovation. Originally opened in January, 1984, the museum is the oldest dedicated to a single watch brand. Located just opposite Omega's headquarters in Biel, it features items representing the brand's entire history, from Louis Brandt’s 160-year-old watchmaker's bench to the Olympics, moon landings, James Bond, and beyond.

Those merely wait until later in the year to be released. Anyhow, back to our excitement over the new Aquatimers. UPDATE: watches-dealer has new 2014 IWC Aquatimer watch information with additional details and models here.It was back in 2009 that IWC last revisited the Aquatimer, and the collection was nice but a bit controversial. Why controversial? Nothing was wrong with the pieces but some people felt that they were too colorful.

Speedmaster automatic saphire crystal
Hi all, My wife dropped and cracked the sapphire crystal of her Speedie auto(ref: 3311.80)The price quoted for replacement at local SC is ridiculous.
