What Will The Apple iWatch Be Like?
Rumors regarding new Apple products have lately proved to be extremely accurate. Since the death of Steve Jobs, Apple hasn't quite kept the iron curtain pulled so tight. When mass speculation revolves around a new product or service, it is often a matter of "when" rather than "if" it will be released. Even before the square version of the iPod Nano came out, people were speculating that Apple was designing a wristwatch. They clearly had it in mind when making a few watch dials available on the Nano, which was later upped to about 18 different dial choices. While Apple hasn't officially announced an upcoming "iWatch" or wrist watch product, people have been discussing its imminent release for quite some time.A new round of rumors have popped up seeming to indicate that 2013 may very well be the year Apple finally releases a dedicated watch product. Primary to these rumors is that Apple will be working with Intel to produce a processor for a small, power efficient device. It is true that

Tissot Seastar 1000 Automatic Chronograph Watch
It does not surprise me that this year we get a new Seastar watch from Tissot, but this particular neat design wasn't expected. There is something retro about it - likely the thinner rotating diver's bezel - but it has a nice modern looking dial. Detail is pleasant and the functionality seems sound for this circa $1000 timepiece collection.The dial will come in a few colors. Seen here are just two of them being black dial with white and blue accents, as well as the black and orange dial. Having two different tones of blue is a benefit to the black and blue one (call it bruised, I dare you). Features such as a small but present and sloped flange ring as well as slightly depressed subsidiary dials give the dial a higher end look. The dial is also pretty easy to read thanks for the slick layout. The hands and hour markers are coated with SuperLumiNova.One this I don't get is the Seastar "1000" name. The case is water resistant to 300 meters not 1000. At least when you have a numerical val

So I get my new (to me) watch back...
I acquired a Seamaster 120 automatic about a month or so ago. I found it on the timezone forums for a terrific price and couldn't pass it up for a full box and papers watch. The watch was gently worn for about a year and then put in a drawer for the last ten or so years. I had it about three weeks and knew it needed a service (i knew when i bought it it needed servicing). I took it to my local watchmaker who did a full internal servicing for $125. I go and pick it up today and I was less than thrilled. When he serviced my DJ last year, I found dust under he crystal. He took care of it at the point I brought it back to him. I get handed my new beauty today and it looks good inside. I pay and leave. As soon as i walk outside, I immediately notice TWO specks of dust on the dial and hands. Maybe I am super critical... maybe I was just hoping for a different outcome than last time... I decided not to bring it back to him to fix. I feel that a servicing for $125 is still a good price even if

Tudor Basel 2017 Black Bay S&G 79733
So a little background...while I love vintage watches, in particular a 5513 or 1016, the high cost and doubtful genuineness has been giving me cold feet. I've picked up a few new and vintage pieces in the last couple years but a Sub has been missing in my collection and I'm not particularly fond of the square maxi case of the current SubC.Which brings me to the Black Bay, and on numerous occasions I've almost picked up a Black Bay Noir. However, it's lack of a date complication left me wanting more....Enter Basel 2017 and the announcement of the BB S&G and the BB Steel, was my prayers answered!! The toolish BB with date! I love it so much upon the news breaking I called my AD and asked to be called the minute they have one in. Yes I also played with the idea of the BB Chrono a bit but ultimately the snowflake hands on the chrono just wasn't good enough for me.Now we all know that normally when a new watch is announced in Basel, ADs won't get them until at least Sept. So imagine my
