Damasko DA44 Watch
One of the most notoriously difficult to find German watch brands is Damasko. They tend to make cool, high-function tool watches for a fair price. If you are a fan of Sinn, you'll also like Damasko - and it goes without saying that Damasko's designs are highly inspired by Sinn timepieces (which are also less than ironically hard to find).If I could give some advice to Sinn and Damasko it would be to understand that pieces such as this would do much better in America if anyone in the US could ever find them. Let's talk distribution people! Sometimes I don't understand how these businesses operate without basic notions of doing business outside of Europe. But I digress!New for Damasko is a model called the DA44 which will come in both a 42mm wide bead-blasted steel case and a black-coated steel case. This is when it starts to get interesting. The steel they use is one of those very hard materials that they claim is ice-hardened and nickel-free. It goes through a range of hardening techni

Linde Werdelin Land Instrument Watch: Personal Sensorship
Recently, watches-dealerwatches-dealer covered the Nokia Eco Sensor Concept, a conceptual device brimming with sensors, connectivity and functionality. The highlight of the Nokia Eco Sensor was it's ability to monitor one's surroundings and convert that information into something relevant to the wearer's health (i.e. "warning high levels of carbon dioxide detected!"). The Nokia Eco Sensor though very interesting, was still just a concept, as there was no working model. The Linde Werdelin Land Instrument is no mere concept, and it delivers a heap of promised features.The Linde Werdelin Land Instrument is part of Linde Werdelin's Biformeter (silly to pronounce) line of products, and is designed for skiing and cold weather mountain climbing and exploration. Excursions which scale tall cold environs require a good deal of environmental measuring to ensure human survivability. In extremely cold temperature, body parts can freeze in moments when exposed to the air. Further, one must monitor

Introducing: The Tudor Heritage Black Bay Dark, PVD-Coated, 41 mm, In-House, And Chronometer Certified (Official U.S. Pricing)
Hot off the news that we'd see the Black Bay go bronze, 43 mm, and in-house late last night, we now have another Heritage Black Bay in something we'd never thought we'd see – a PVD case! On top of that, it's COSC certified, 41 mm, and in-house. A lot to like here, people. 1 OF 3 While yesterday's Bronze Black Bay was upped to 43 mm, the Dark remains at the familiar and welcomed 41 mm diameter. The case is steel but treated with PVD, a practice that, to be honest, feels a little outdated when we now have DLC, and indeed the possibility of ceramic cases (which Tudor themselves offer). The case is entirely satin finished and a matching black bracelet is an option here. What's more is that this Black Bay comes with the manufacture movement MT5602, which offers up a healthy 70-hour power reserve. What's more, this watch is actually chronometer certified! 2 OF 33 OF 3 The watch is offered on a black PVD bracelet or distressed leat

BLNR Availability
As a relatively newcomer to Rolex I wonder what the release of the new Pepsi GMT will do to the availability of the BLNR. I am assuming that most of the hype will be focused on the Pepsi at least for the near future, would it be safe to assume that the BLNR will become easier to get?

NATO on yachtmaster?
I've seen plenty of NATO straps on Subs and GMT's but never on a Yachtmaster.I bring it up because I have located a yachtmaster watch, head only as the bracelet was damaged. It's 2 tone with a slate dial and I was wondering how it might look with a brown or tan leather NATO.Thoughts?
