Zenith Honors Watchmaker’s Milestones With Limited Edition Watch
On November 30, Zenith celebrated a famous caliber and the 100th birthday of the watchmaker who created it. Ephrem Jobin was the brains and hands behind Caliber 135. Introduced in 1948 at the height of a battle to achieve increased precision fought among several watch manufacturers, Caliber 135 included several innovative technical features that enabled it to win numerous prestigious awards and prizes, including an unprecedented 5 consecutive Neuchatel Observatory chronometry prizes from 1950 to 1954. In all, the movement garnered about 200 honors, two-thirds of which were first prizes. Ephrem Jobin with Zenith CEO Jean-Fr��d��ric Dufour and Zenith watchmakersBorn in 1909 and likely the world’s oldest living watchmaker, Ephrem Jobin played a variety of roles in Zenith’s development. During his tenure from 1939 to 1954, he developed three complete calibers, including the 135. In 1946 he was commissioned to invent a 30mm caliber capable of meeting the requirements for the Neuch

MB&F HM3 Chocolate Frog Limited Edition Watch
As part of high-end watch forum ThePuristSwatches-dealer's 10th anniversary, MB&F will offer a (more) limited edition version of their Horological Machine No. 3 "The Frog" watch called "The Chocolate Frog." MB&F is really rewarding their fans and early adopters with this move. There are a fair number of happy MB&F watch owners who are part of the "PuristS" community, who themselves have helped to support MB&F in its early stages. More and more we see the best and more innovative watch brands working closely with the online content providers and communities that strive to support them. A win/win move? I'd like to think so.The Chocolate Frog will be limited to just 10 pieces, and will be variation on the original HM3 Frog watch that I wrote about here. Funny how brown is a color that has been en vogue recently. There was once a time when a watch maker wouldn't think to ever make a brown colored watch (or one with a brown colored dial). Why? Retailers were afraid they woul

Owners Manual Changes?
Just noticed that my manual for my 5711 is for several different movements where as all my other manuals are specific to the calibre in that particular watch i purchased. Is this new or are all 5711 books like this?Here is both my 5711 and 5712 manuals... as you can see the one on top covers multiple watches and movements and is no longer specific to the Nautilus. Where as the 5712 manual only covers that single movement.

Help resolving a dilemma
Ok Guys, I have a dilemma that I'd like to get your feedback on as to how I should resolve it.I placed an ad for a Rolex in the classified yesterday. In my ad I pointed out that I'm not an enthusiast like so many here on RF. Consequently, I had no idea how much to ask for the watch, so I listed it at what I thought was an unreasonably high price. Overnight, I received multiple full price offers. Of course that's good, but it appears I priced it too low. What do I do now?I can sell the watch to the first person who contacted me. Or, I can ask those individuals to make me a one time offer of a higher price, then accept the highest one at the end of a 24 hour period. I don't know what the rules of RF are, but I could post an addition to my ad stating what has happened and that at the end of 24 hours, I will accept the highest offer above my original asking price.Most of us are aware that in a hot real estate market, buyers often offer above the asking price. Is it unreasonable for me to d
