Tudor North Flag Watch In-House Mvment Baselworld 2015
No point in waiting, since one of Tudor's new-for-2015 watches has apparently been leaked a bit in advance of Baselworld 2015 - this is the Tudor North Flag watch, and I think we are going to rather like it. A picture of a catalog or magazine page with the Tudor North Flag watch has been posted by watchawrist (the personal Instragram account of fakewatchbuster) and I don't doubt that it is real. Tudor even has a trademark registration for Tudor North Flag. I also suspect that another 2015 watch from the brand will be the Tudor Wildcall - so we will see what that ends up being.Aside from having a dial that looks a lot like the lovely Eterna KonTiki Diver from 2008 complete with the same color tone and style of power reserve indicator, the Tudor North Flag is said to contain Tudor's first in-house made movement.

A Brief History Of ETA: THE Swiss Watch Movement Maker
ETA is one of the most prevalent and powerful companies in the modern watch industry. It is Switzerland's largest movement maker with countless small and major brands relying on the products they make. Its story has, as we will learn, defined the watch industry of today. However, despite all its previous and present roles in horology, for many, ETA remains a relatively unknown manufacture, or worse: a three-letter word that scarcely means more than the fact that the movement inside their watch was not made by the company whose name is on the dial.One of the reasons for this can be found in the marketing practices of the industry. We see retail brands tirelessly looking for yet another way of exploiting their history so as to convince the pondering buyer. ETA however, unlike retail brands, does not want to sell directly to the public. Consequently, they will never publicly advertise their technical achievements to make you or I buy a movement or two from them. What they do instead is se

AP Bracelets Styles
Hey all,I've been looking to get a AP Dual Time 26120ST and noticed that there are 2 different types of bracelets - One with the AP logo and the other style with the full name, reference pics attached. Both are F series and full box and papers from a reputable local dealer. There are various pictures with both types of bracelets on chrono24 too.Is there a specific year that the bracelet was updated? Since both series are the same F series, possible that the bracelet was replaced?Any difference in feel and finish? Thanks in advance!

Omega Boutique - great visit.
Had a great visit to the local Omega Boutique yesterday. They had the new Speedy Pro with the new watch box in, and I stopped by to take a look. Nice box, which is available separately for $750 and includes the box, commemorative medallion, strap tool, two straps, loupe, and two books. While I was there, they presented me with this great gift. I was pleased that they wanted me to have it, and am sure I'll enjoy it immensely. It's several hundred pages all about the Moonwatch in its various incarnations, and is valued at over $300 US.
