German Arctos Elite GPW K1 Limited Edition Watch Available
I find that it is my duty to share with you information about? limited offerings of unique and attractive watches that you might not learn about anywhere else. This is the case with this limited edition Arctos Elite GPW K1 watch constructed with a ceramic case. GPW stands for "German Precision Watch," which is honestly a silly phrase, but for a serious watch. All you need to get out of that name is that this Arctos watch is proudly German-made, which means it constructed well and a good value. Now, what makes this Arctos Elite GPW watch so interesting is that it is a limited edition concept based on another GPW watch model - the standard K1. The limited edition uses the same ceramic case (yes, the ultra hard - virtually scratch-proof - zirconium oxide compound) but with a much more interesting dial than the standard version. The limited edition is also less expensive than the standard model! How can that be? Well it really has to do with the fact that this is basically a concept watch.

TUDOR Heritage Black Bay Bronze
Tudor �C Heritage Black Bay BronzeBronze is a glossy blend of copper and metals (aluminium, tin, lead) that's stronger and heavier than steel. Unlike other iron materials, seawater hardly affects it and rust gives it a beautiful green-grey patina. Bronze has fascinated mankind since the dawn of time and we've used it a million ways from prehistoric tools to 21st century watch cases, just like the new Heritage Black Bay Bronze by Tudor.Its 43mm bronze case is slightly larger than its Heritage Black Bay brothers and has the self-winding in-house MT5601 calibre which provides a 70-hour power reserve and is COSC-certified.Its slightly domed milk chocolate dial features luminescent bronze bevelled indices and Arabic numerals with a bronze minute track. The hours, minutes and seconds are tracked by phosphorescent gold hands.Price: 3,800 CHFBy Sharmila Bertin

AT 8500 pics
There's so much emphasis on the PO, SMP, and Speedys ( LOVE them all) ....so I thought you guys might enjoy some pics of my Aqua Terra with the Grey Teck dial. The vertical lines are actually more pronounced in the pics than in real life. I love the versatility of this piece. More elegant/classy than the divers IMO but still very sporty. Looks different in different lighting....
