Breva Genie 02 Terra Watch With Accurate Mechanical Altimeter
Breva, a new high-end Swiss watch brand that debuted last year in 2013, has just followed up with their second watch release. The Genie 02 Terra follows the brand's first model - which was the Genie 01 Barometer (debuted here). While that first watch was the world's first mechanical weather station because it included a mechanical barometer, the Genie 02 Terra uses the same technology to introduce the first watch with a mechanical altimeter of this type. Once again the brand has teamed up with master watch designer Jean-Francois Mojon for an interesting and 100% Swiss made mechanical luxury watch with an active lifestyle twist.The Breva Genie 01 Barometer and Genie 02 Terra Altimeter operate using the same basic principle to indicate information. Those with an understanding of mechanical instruments know that both barometric pressure and altitude are measured as functions of air pressure. Inside each of the watches are a pair of sealed aneroid capsules. Traditionally made from an alloy

watch winders
Azguy just posted a thread about watch winders which has gotten me thinking that I need to invest in a watch winder. I'd love to say that my Omega will never come off my wrist but I'm not going to beat up my watch and can't wear a metal band on the ship.So do you guys have suggestions for a basic get the job done winder..Thanks,Tim

Omega Speedie Pro bracelet question.
Hi all.I am a lover of fine watches and of course that includes Rolex and Omega.I want to ask the advice of this forum.I have a late 80s-early 90s 861 speedie pro and the question involves the bracelet. Do you think the 1171 bracelet is nicer than the current bracelet?I bought my Speedie from a vintage watch dealer - used - and it came with the newer style bracelet. Whilst I love the newer bracelet - it did not feel 100% right.I then bought a 1171 bracelet off ebay - very fairly priced at around 150-The speedie now has the vintage feel back - sorry if that not make sense.My question is. do other people agree with me on the 1171 bracelet being nicer than the new style.

PAM 233 or 111
So this an oranges to apples comparison, but which would you choose? Either option would be preowned.I have a few watches with GMT complications and a few with no date today. The main thing attracting me with the 233 is the Superdome and I love GMTs, but I love the simplicity of the 111. Oh yeah and the 111 is half the price too. If you had the choice of either as your only PAM which would it be?Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
