La D de Dior Watch Has Amazing Colors
Love it or hate it, I think that this women's watch by Dior is rather beautiful. While not something I would wear as a man (duh), I enjoy looking at it a lot. Called the La D de Dior Color, the whimsical watch has a stunning assortment of colorful stones on the dial and bezel. It is hard to deny that the rainbow style look is not artistic. It is also a complex creation, requiring the detailed selection of many stones types, colors, and size. You can see more details below on that.The 38mm wide case is done in palladium (similar to platinum) and contains an LVMH group mechanical manually wound movement made by Zenith. Dior indicates that the watch can also be made in 18k white gold. Really beautiful as eye candy and as art. diorwatches-dealerTechnical Specifications from Dior:The La D de Dior - 38 mmNumbered (No. 1)Housing:Palladium white gold set with diamonds 210Crown set with diamondsBezel set Paraiba tourmalines, emeralds, tsavorite garnet, yellow sapphires, garnets spessartites, sp

Introducing: The Grand Seiko Spring Drive 8 Day Power Reserve, A Rare Example Of Japanese Haute Horology From The Famed Micro Artist Studio
I think every hardcore watch nerd dreams of owning a piece hand-crafted by Seiko's Micro Artist Studio in Shiojiri, located in Japan's central Nagano region. The Micro Artist Studio is a tiny subset of the Seiko manufacture that is the absolute elite unit, responsible for hand-crafting not only the incredible Eichi II, but also the Credor Minute Repeater and Sonnerie. Today, for the first time, we saw a Grand Seiko that was given the Micro Artist treatment, and it did not disappoint. 1 OF 3 First, one must understand that the craftsman in the Micro Artist Studio are top, top tier. They are the group that visits no one short of Mr. Philippe Dufour with some regularity, and the group that Mr. Dufour to this day holds in extremely high regard. This is true high-end finishing of the highest order, an until now, this has been reserved for Credor product. I'd always wondered why we never saw an insanely high-end Grand Seiko, and now we have. 2 OF 3 Eve

First Omega in Space - finally
Back in 2006, I was able to obtain a set of original NOS CK 2998 hands and a friend gave me a cal 861 movement. The plan was to assemble my second project watch which was to be a commemorative of Wally Schirra's Mercury-Atlas 8 flight.I even designed a special case back but unlike the Omega design (which isn't that bad), I used the flight patch logo of Sigma 7 in the center with this wording around the edge: THE FIRST - SPEEDMASTER - IN SPACE - SCHIRRA - MERCURY-ATLAS 8 - OCT. 3, 1962.Here is a photo of the first attempt to fabricate the back:Circumstances precluded completion of my project but I am more than pleased with Omega's upcoming release. I have already placed my order.Fr. John?

Considering parting from my Omega SMP Chrono
I'm considering parting with my Omega SMP Chrono as I've falled in love again with the first chrono that I actually liked and that is the Breitling Chrono Avenger.I know the pros on the Omega is that it has pushers that can work under water, build like a tank, comfy bracelet. Cons, I find that the sub dials are harder to read at a glance.Pros on Chrono Avenger: Light Titanium case, bezel is solid titanium hence no insert to scratch, dial easier to read at a glance, bracelet comfy as hell.Has anyone owned both watches at one time to give me their 0.2 cents?
