Watchmaker Compares Omega Seamaster Timepieces With Caliber 1120, 2500, & 8500 Movements
As an watches-dealer guest, Hugh Taylor from Xupeswatches-dealer (a pre-owned watches and luxury goods dealer in the UK) once again interviews their in-house master watchmaker, Mickey Nolan, as he proceeds to explain and dissemble three different movements that have all found homes within Omega Seamaster watches. Like many timepieces which have been produced for a number of years, the movements inside those watches evolve and change. Here, we go inside of the Omega caliber 1120, 2500, and 8500 movements to understand what they are about, how Co-Axial escapements matter, and what Mickey the watchmaker has to say about them.Several Fridays ago, while Twitter accounts across South East England ticked away with trademark Anglian wisecracks about how an unheard-of-in-these-parts 4.2-magnitude earthquake had toppled an alarming number of wheelie bins �� We will rebuild! �� Owen (the photo wizard) and I nestled into Mickey's watchmaking workshop.We were at Xupes HQ in a peaceful town on the f

Bid On Impressive Watch Collection Seized From Ponzi Scheme Villain
You've probably been seeing this picture a lot as infamous ponzi scheme wiseguy Scott Rothstein's massive watch collection goes up for auction this week. Let me tell you right away that if you want to bid, it needs to be right now. Sorry for the late notice, but according to the official documents, all bids need to be in by July 12th (see the link below for more info).Scott Rothstein might have been the worst type of smile in his business practices, but he was a rather accomplished watch collector. In contrast to all the other random expensive crap he had (like a gold toilet seat), his watch collections shows a true amount of time and dedication.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the range of piece in t

5127 Dial Question
Did the 5127 come in only one dial color?I see references to silver/ivory/opaline, yet the pictures are all similar. I did find a comment online that there was, in fact, only one dial color, however, I can't confirm this. Any help would be appreciated. I'm shopping for a 5127J and want to ensure I'm asking the right questions and don't want to be surprised with the dial color. Thanks. LS

372 love today
Just picked up a 372 today. I sold my 111G and went for the 372. I used to own a 422 but sold that to fund the 190. 372 is very nice. Highly recommended.

When is a TT more attractive then full PM?
Rarely, to me, is a tt more attractive when compared to its full gold counterpart. As much as I love the tt bluesy, the full yg version is nicer looking.But when it comes to the new rg gmt chnr...I think the TT version is nicer than the full gold version. I think it’s because the bezel gets washed out sitting up against an entire rg watch where as the tt has ss which draws your eye to the chnr bezel.What r ur thoughts?
