Jaeger-LeCoultre is in collaboration with the US Navy Seals
And the latest limited edition parts Jaeger-LeCoultre in collaboration with the US Navy Seals, are certainly not for the average man. Aptly named as Master Compressor watches, these watches are inspired by the gear used by the elite and clandestine unit of the U.S. armed forces.

Ceramic Bi-Color War on the Horizon?
Unveiled at Baselworld this year, Omega showed their first single piece, bicolored ceramic bezel outfitted to the new GMT Seamaster master chronometer. Dubbed Biceramic, Omega chose a rather mundane color combo of black and white.Are they only the second company behind Rolex to achieve this technology?Will this spur more interesting color combos from both companies?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A little different than my usual but really impressed so far. AT 8500 inside
I picked this up this week and I am so impressed. I have always admired the AT from a far but once I started to do some research on the watch, I knew I had to own one at one time or another. The quality of this watch is hard to beat, the look, the feel, the comfort all rival watches that have cost me twice as much. Stunning teak grey dial that changes color at different angles, really cool by the way. Amazing movement with a 60 hr power reserve that does not need a service per my Omega boutique for approx. 10 years, which is pretty crazy. The applied markers are just perfect, the mix of polished and brushed areas on the case and bracelet really make the watch pop. Most who know me know I love to swim with my watches, well, I don't like taking off my watch too swim is probably more accurate. With a WR of 500ft, this makes a perfect companion for all those summer activities. Couple all of this with a Omega 4 year warranty and it is hard to pass up.I must say that this is the fi

Watchmakers International recommendation
A few months back my 14060M Submariner was knocked off of my counter and the 7 O'Clock marker dislodged from the face. I contacted Rolex, and I thought the lead times of 12-16 weeks and cost for a replacement dial (they said they wouldn't repair the current dial and a mandatory service was non-negotiable) were a little unreasonable.I'm not very experienced with Rolex repairs nor am I a serious collector, so I came here for recommendations and Bod Ridley at Watchmakers International was sent over by a number of members.I contacted them, and their service was beyond excellent. After a phone call with Philip Ridley, I sent it in and had the watch back in 9 days with a new main spring, service, and repaired dial.I'm very grateful for their assistance getting the only watch I care about back on my wrist in a timely manner, and thought I would share the experience.
