First Look At Rocker Dan Spitz's Jeanrichard Aeroscope Limited Edition Watch
Toward the end of 2014, Jeanrichard will announce a limited edition watch produced in collaboration with rock-and-roller Dan Spitz. On his Facebook page today, Spitz previewed the prototype of the upcoming model that will be based on the Jeanrichard Aeroscope timepiece. Dan was wearing it on his wrist presumably at the pool in his Florida home. We know that Dan has been looking to partner with a watch brand for quite sometime. What makes Spitz a bit different from your average watch-loving musician is that he himself is a watchmaker.Now, 51-year-old Dan Spitz took a break from music in 1995, after leaving the band Anthrax to become a watchmaker. He attended the prestigious WOSTEP watchmaking school in Switzerland. Spitz eventually returned to music in the early 2000s, but remains a very special type of celebrity watch lover because of his watchmaker training. Spitz has flirted with the idea of working with a few timepiece brands, and it seems to have worked out with Jeanrichard, who wh

70's era Breitling/Heuer? clone
Hi all-Recently, I grabbed up a vintage 70's chronograph on ebay for around 135 bucks. It was described as a mid 60's Kent brand chrono, but I recognized it as one of the many Valjoux 7734 variants of the early 70's. There were no pictures of the movement, but when it arrived I was pleased to discover a pristine 7734 under the hood.Anyway, I'm trying to figure out who actually made this watch. Kent was a brand an old department store named Finlay Straus used to import Swiss watches, and although the dial and movement are marked France, the movement is clearly stamped 7734. Swiss, right?The watch looks like a Breitling Datora 592 (among many other watches of that era). It has that barrel shaped case that so many off-brands used at the time, and it appears to be brass. Did Breitling or Heuer make the off brand versions of their watches for export? Here are some photos, including a jeweler's stamp I can't identify. Any insight would be interesting to me. Thanks in advance!Watch Front and

CK2998 bracelet fitting trouble
I purchased a CK2998 and separately a 1125 bracelet with 560 end links and for the life of me I can't get it installed despite using a burgeon spring bar tweezer. What am I missing, do I need shorter spring bars than those that came with the strap?Christian

A Question for Canadians
Hello All--I am looking to purchase my first watch internationally and have narrowed my choices down to an Omega Seamaster SMP 2254, Planet Ocean 2200.50, or Rolex Sub. Okay so here's my question directed to Canadians, or those whom can provide some insight:What were the costs incurred (if any) for importing these timepieces into Canada? How exactly are these costs broken down? And as a first time watch buyer, are there any other considerations that should be taken when cross-border buying? BTW, I intend to have them mailed to me, or else I would buy one and wear it back up.Forgive me if this subject has been covered extensively in the past--this is my first day on the forums.
