Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Supercharged Watch
Is the "big watch" going to make a comeback for 2014? That is hard to say, but Swiss Maurice Lacroix has an XXL-sized horological entrant with their 48mm wide sized Pontos S Supercharged. It continues the Pontos S legacy that began in 2012, and last year in 2013 resulted in the Pontos S Extreme (hands-on here). The Extreme had some interesting colors and now the Supercharged is all about bold design and size.We've always liked the Pontos S for its forward-thinking design and sharp modern looks while conforming to traditional standards of legibility and functionality. And don't forget that cool crown for the inner rotating bezel that is connected to the chronograph start/stop pusher. All of that is retained in the Pontos S Supercharged, but with some design updates and a different movement. While the standard Pontos S chronograph made use of a Swiss ETA Valjoux 7750, the Pontos S Supercharged will make use of the still very uncommon Valgranges caliber. What is that you ask?In 2009 Swiss

Squale 101 Atmos ref 2002A Orange and Black Review
It is entirely possible that you have never heard of Squale watches. Sure, it's a brand that has been around for over 60 years, but not until very recently have they come back from a sort of brand hibernation. However, back in the 60's and 70's, Squale was literally one of the top producers of dive watchcases and dive watches. They produced cases for many brands, from Tag Heuer to Doxa to Blancpain (source). They not only produced robust and well-designed cases, but made genuinely technologically innovative watches. One particularly advanced watch was the 101 Atmos, released in the late 60's, which claims to be the first 1000m dive watch without a helium escape valve and features a unique bezel design.In 2010, the brand began to produce watches again, sticking to remaking of their famous watches from the past, many of which fit right in with modern divers in terms of style and features. The 101 Atmos ref 2002A is one such watch, and is a recreation of that famous watch from the late 60

Offshore 44 strap question
Just love my new ROO RG 44. Question for those of you with them, for my wrist I am in the second or third hole from the start. This leaves a little more strap past the end of the buckle than I normally have on other straps. How does this compare to most wearers of this watch. I think I read somewhere a shorter strap is available? This is my first rubber strap, do they break in or stretch any?

Dislodged crown and stem
I decided to give my Panda wrist time last night after sitting in the box for 6 days. I gently pulled the crown to adjust the date and time and to my horror, the whole stem came with it. I put it back in the case hole and tried to pull it back again, the crown and the stem simpyl slid off. I wasn't able to sleep because of this and would probably have nightmares when I bring it to the AD for repair. Will it be an easy fix or a burden to the pockets? My 2 year warranty expired last year and just applied for the 3rd year after reading the threads this morning.
