Carl F. Bucherer Marks 125 Years With New Manero Tourbillon Limited Edition
This year marks 125 years since Swiss jeweler Carl Friedrich Bucherer opened up his first watch and jewelry shop in Lucerne, on the way to designing and creating his first timepiece in 1919. To commemorate the anniversary, the modern Carl F. Bucherer watch brand has launched the new Manero Tourbillon Limited Edition.Carl F. Bucherer has created many complicated watches, including models with power-reserve displays, chronographs, and even a perpetual calendar �� and the company makes its own manufacture movement, but this will be the brand’s first tourbillon timepiece. The hand-wound tourbillon movement, Caliber CFB T1001, makes its debut in the brand’s Manero collection, which CFB describes as emphasizing “classical elegance.” The tourbillon, which is on display in an opening at 6 o’clock on the dial, is obviously the central attraction, but Carl F.

Omega vs Breitling?
Hey everyone... Debating between an Omega 46mm Seamaster Planet Ocean Chrono (blue dial, blue rubber strap) and a 44mm Breitling Bentley GT or 46mm Navi World, again blue dial/blue leather strap... No, I don't dive, and no I'm not a world traveler, I just like the the larger sized chronos and the blue/blue is a must for me So, any thoughts between the 2? Better watch, brand, finish, movement, resale etc...Thanks for the help

Panerai Crown Guard
Question related to service...After several years of heavy use, my old man is giving me his Panerai 299. While generally in good shape, the crown guard is pretty loose and jiggles around. Certainly not useful any more in preventing ingress of water. Is there a way to tighten it myself using inexpensive tools I can buy online, or would you recommend either bringing it in to an AD for service/sending it to Panerai. All else being equal or nearly equal, I'd go with the lowest-cost option. Thanks!

If you had to choose one?
Hi guys,Just wanting some opinions on which watch would be a better purchase and why. Things I am considering are: - which look is likely to be more timeless- value retention - anything else you can think ofThey both seem to be about the same price for a used model now.

Rolex sea dweller 50th
Hello everyone,New member from Michigan. I have always been very interested in watches. I finally got my first Rolex a few months ago. I got a Rolex datejust 41 rhodium diamond dial with jubilee bracelet (I will post a review with pictures at some point). Over the last couple of weeks I've had the urge to add another to my collection. I really like the ceramic Daytona, but don't feel like waiting 5 years. I'm very interested in a sea dweller 50th anniversary. Given it's an anniversary piece, I'm assuming the demand is pretty high. Have any of you had trouble obtaining one? If so how long has the wait typically been?Like I said earlier I'd love to have the Daytona ceramic with the white dial, I also considered a blue deep sea but I feel like it's too thick. I've worn one in the past, and liked it I just thought it's a bit too thick. With that being said I think the 50th anniversary would be a great medium.
