Hands-On: Zenith Launches A Suite Of Three New High Complications In New Materials (Including A Plat
Zenith has just announced that three of its most complicated watches, which premiered this year in new case materials, are now available – and we had a chance recently to go hands-on with the new models, and gather some first impressions of these very exotic and very rarely seen timepieces. The new models are a limited edition platinum version of the Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane Georges-Favret Jacot, and titanium versions of the Academy Georges Favret-Jacot (with fusée and chain) and the El Primero Tourbillon. 1 OF 12 Above, Academy Christophe Colomb Hurricane Georges Favret-Jacot in platinum The Academy Georges Favret-Jacot was launched, as we reported last year, for the firm’s 150th anniversary and is named for Zenith’s founder, Georges Favret-Jacot, who founded the firm in Le Locle in 1865 at the age of 22.

Grail territory. New Jumbo...
A lot of threads here lately on new Jumbos. Add me to the list. After selling my 15400 last year because it just didn't feel right, I made the mistake of trying a 15202 at a boutique. Game over. Meet my newest keeper. Had to let some go but so worth it. The bracelet screws are a bear to budge. Instead of butchering the screws, I'll try the NYC boutique. One word to describe this piece...PERFECT. It's a stunner.

As close as anyone can get to this new beauty.

buy it man...
Alright guys since James Bond started to wear the Omega Seamaster in Goldeneye I have always wanted that watch. I remember back in 97 the Automatic version was in the $1,500-2,000 range. Now its up to $3,800, inflation sucks!!I work at American Airlines as a Supervisor, very happy with my job absolutely love it. I'm sure most of you have read the news that we filed for Ch11. However, I assure you American is not going anywhere. Just like Delta, United, US Airways (twice), Continental (three times) they have all filed and emerged stronger. (Not gonna get into the pension losses and all that jazz from all the airlines ) Unlike many here who are Doctors, lawyers, etc. I do not earn that high of an income, however I do live very comfortably. No wife, no kids, no mortgage I kind of live the life of a Pilot. I am always traveling managing my 10 Southwest Region cities in the Customer Service Field, hardly ever home.I have lurked these forums for years now, I joined in 2010 and had the pleas

Parts and Service for Panerai
Apparently Richemont in the US has now adopted a policy where they refuse to sell parts of all the watches in their stable to anyone who is not associated with Richemont. I have been told the same kind of Policy has been adopted by Rolex and others. That makes things very difficult for those who don't have a descent AD associated with Richemont. Richemont in Ft Worth is no longer returning calls about service of their brands.While they own IWC, there are still IWC centers where service can be had descently for watches out of warranty, like Superior Watch Service in New York. However Panerai is not one that I can find any reliable service for. Possibly in the future I will just have to avoid purchase of any of the brands owned by Richemont and possibly divest myself of my Panerai's.
