Romain Jerome Spacecraft: Batman Watch
The memorable Romain Jerome Spacecraft has a new family member and it's inspired by the caped crusader from Gotham City. The Romain Jerome Spacecraft: Batman is an edgy update on the original model that split opinion with its bizarre shape and novel time indication system. I'm all for uniqueness and instant identifiability and so can't help but admire the Romain Jerome Spacecraft. That's in spite of the fact that it looks like a futuristic kitchen appliance from the 1970sor maybe a badass VCR. I can't decide which is more appropriate, but either way, I like it because it is different and makes me feel inexplicably nostalgic despite its modernity. This watch is part of the horological icons range and is an official collaboration between Romain Jerome and Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Entertainment. Because its creation has been legitimately sanctioned, this watch is sure to have great crossover appeal.The Romain Jerome Spacecraft: Batman, is a gritty re-imagining of the

Watch Modding Piece by Piece
Modding a watch can be addictive. If you are a creative type, finding just the right parts to make your very own perfect watch can be an interesting journey.?As we've covered in the past, the Seiko SKX007/009 dive watch has the most aftermarket products available for modification. But what's fun is checking out the world of watch hobbyists and small companies that produce very specific parts for very specific watches.Suppa PartsLet's take the Citizen BJ8050-08E, nicknamed the "Ecozilla." This tank-like solar-powered dive watch has a proprietary strap and lug attachment that makes sense from a functional standpoint, but limits collectors' ability to use straps with standard width ends. In comes Suppa Parts, a co-brand of Stevral/Raven/Benarus, which makes an adapter to fit the Ecozilla and its automatic counterpart the NH6930-09F (the "Autozilla"), so they can use standard 24 mm straps. This opens up opportunities for Zilla lovers to use any leather, steel or nylon bands to secure their

At The Bench: The Restoration Of A Tudor Advisor (Reference 7926)
There are several reasons that most people should never consider bidding on a watch that has the words “as is” or “for repair” in its description on eBay. In addition to making me have to overpay for adventurous restorations, pieces like this trade at such a small discount that it is rarely, if ever, a cost effective way to get your hands on a great vintage piece. There are exceptions, but for the most part, for collectors this is a losing gamble. This recent adventure very well illustrates this point and shows off awesome vintage Tudor in the process. Recently I have developed an unreasonable interest in wrist alarms. I had been restoring some JLC Memovoxes and the unbelievably frustrating Seiko Bellmatics when I stumbled upon this “for repair” Tudor Advisor on eBay. It was in very rough shape and not working, so for me it seemed like a good adventure. 1 OF 11 The Tudor reference 7926 was in production from 1957 until its repl
