Eberhard & Co Contograf Watch: Modern Vintage
With brands either digging into their back catalog or creating new watches with no prior references, there is?no shortage of watches being introduced as of late that hearken back to earlier eras. This means, for the modern watch enthusiast, that you can find a modern timepiece (with all its attendant quality, materials, and accuracy) that references (or even looks identical) to a watch from the era that you find yourself drawn to. In other words, you can go "vintage" without worrying about having to baby the piece. If 1960s sport watches are your thing, then Eberhard & Co has your ticket.The original Contograf was introduced in 1960, and its 2014 counterpart certainly carries forth the look. One of the more intriguing elements that they carried forth from the original can be found on the chronograph minutes register found over at 3 o'clock. It has bolder markings at the 3, 6, and 9 minute marks. This was put in place for timing phone calls - not something you'll use these days, I d

A 1950s Tissot And The Appeal Of The World Time Complication
World Time watches hold a certain fascination to us here at the 'Dink - we've told you this before - especially when we get to the world-timers from the 1950s and earlier. Louis Cottier made a name for himself creating the first true-world time movement, and countless brands employed him and his team to create pieces for them. We're talking Patek, Vacheron, and Rolex, to name a few you may have heard of (of course, Aggasiz also used Cottier and this watch was actually given to the leaders of the allied forces after the Second World War).But, a vintage world timer from Patek, VC, or Rolex will cost you some serious money, and that is why we are here today with a 1950s Tissot that has the same appeal for a fraction of the price. In fact, this is a fantastic original example of a Tissot WT dating to the mid 1950s. When you press the button at 2 o'clock, the inner disc rotates so the wearer may calibrate it to home-time. Once done, time may be read in the 24 timezones

5524g
I am contemplating acquiring a Patek 5524g in the very near future. Would love to hear from current and former owners of this reference. If you did own the 5524g and parted ways with it, was there a particular reason? Unfortunately the local AD is sold out of this model so I am not able to try it on. I am less concerned about the 42mm size as I am about the 2 Travel Time pushers on the left side of the case digging into the wrist. Has anyone experienced this issue?Thank you in advance for your input.

Well After Various Changes Of Direction......Still A New Patek!
Just a recap several weeks back i was offered a real nice Patek 5960 but to step up to the plate the Daytona had to go but with sellers remorse setting in before i'd given sold it, deep breath and let it go, but you now how it is once your're in new watch mode its only time!, so attempting sensibility my thoughts ran KEEP! the WG Daytona i honestly don't think you'd get a more unique dial and i love the fraction formations on mine and the smaller onyx 3-6-9 indices more in line with the other subtle markings rather than on the newer premium dials with the larger SQUARE markers IMHO. so i'm now looking at something in SS [and cheap being a relative term] as a daily wearer yes rolex make many with a few nice ones to come, maybe i'll regret it but at this time rolex leaves me sort of ho-hum! bored nor excited!, so to the forefront rose AP and Patek i'd all but picked up a RO 15300 when a offshore was offered by a unsolicitated PM after making enquiring post on AP in general on the forums,
