Ball Marks Adoption Of Standard Time With New Trainmaster Watch
In addition to their fantastic sport watches, Ball Watches makes some cool dress pieces as well. The new Trainmaster Standard Time is an excellent example and comes with a very reasonable price in 18k rose gold. So why "Standard Time?" Today, we take our synchronized time for granted. Prior to 1883 however, that was something that didn't exist. It's been 130 years since the United States adopted Standard Time and the railroads consolidated 70 different time zones into the four we have today. It was also around that time that a jeweler by the name of Webster Clay Ball decided to utilize the signals emitted by the US Naval Observatory, setting the chronometers in his display window by the signal. This eventually led to Ball's official involvement with the railroads, and brings us to the soon-to-be released watch that celebrates that 1883 milestone.The watch in question is the Ball Trainmaster Standard Time, it's no mystery how they arrived at that name.

You can't have passion for something you don't really understand. I began my love of watches ignorant of what went into making most watches. True timepiece appreciation can only come when you really know what goes into constructing watches. It gives you the ability to evaluate the high quality from the mainstream, and foresight to look beyond the dial.This article is the second part of my A. Lange & Sohne Germany trip discussion. It has taken me longer to get to writing this than I would have preferred, but it has given me time to lets these facts ruminate. In the part I article covering my trip I left off talking about the history of the brand and describing the watch making region. We are ready to go into the heart of the manufacture, taking (some of)? the mystery out of the end result, and impressing upon you what really goes into making the f

Just got my Dream! Speedy Pro 3570.50
I just wanted to share this very happy day for me! I just got my new Speedy Pro (Hesalite). I'm from the Philippines but currently in New Jersey for work. I made myself promise that I cannot go back home without a Seedy Pro. And so I got one out of my very first paycheck! I already have a Seamaster Bond but I've been wanting the Speedmater ever since. I was contemplating if I wanted to get the Speedy Pro sandwich but after reading so many posts about the Hesalite as the true historical peice, I finally decided to get this!Hope you enjoy the pictures I took just a few hours of acquiring my new gift to myself.

Would you replace this bezel?
All,I think it is time to send my Sub in for service. While I think it is in great overall shape, it has a small scratch on the bezel and a crack in the “pip” at the top of the bezel. Would you have this replaced and if so, any idea what I would be looking at for a price?
