Clerc Odyssey S Watch
Clearly this Clerc watch has a spacey look. A lot of their more "ambitious" pieces tend to have a style that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie prop bin. This one is actually a bit more down to earth compared to what I have seen in the past. As though Clerc is calming down a bit and realizing the world is looking for more subtle avant garde style cues these days. If you make a watch that looks like a time machine - it better damn operate as one. Wow, I just realized how utterly ironic that statement was.Clerc joins the growing number of watch brands that are using silicium (silicon) in their movements. The most popular metal part to replace with silicium is the escapement. This is a small gear-like wheel that is connected to the balance wheel and is responsible for moving power to the movement.

Garage sale treasure
Now, I am not usually keen on garage (yard) sales, but on Saturday whilst collecting my morning paper from the shops, I strolled past a house in my district which was having one and I couldn't resist a look. The attached photo's are the result of that curiosity, a nice vintage Seamaster 300 C 1967/8 for very little outlay. It is running and keeping good time and really just needs a service, new seals etc. and the crown will need replacing too since it's none original, but apart from that I think it's a good original vintage piece, with nicely aged lume. I wonder if I should have brought a lottery ticket that morning too

Submariner no date looks dull with plastic on?
My perception of a new submariner no date would be that...it would look kind of shiny/gleaming. So when I went to take a look at it in the grey dealer I was pretty disappointed. It looked pretty dull/different from the pics I'm used to seeing at trf. Maybe it's cause of the plastic that it was covered with..not sure..Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
