Getting the Best Watch Deals
I remember back in college when I first started appreciating watches. I began to learn that there were so many watch companies and manufacturers. With prices ranging from $100 to well over $100,000. The watch magazines (like WatchTime or InSync) categorized a "mid to low range" watch at between $1,000-$2000. This is rather steep. And the tendency when liking watches is to want more and more of them as each embodies its own style and purpose. No watch enthusiast you meet will be happy with the size of their collection. There are always other they want. Which is not an indication of their lack of interest in their existing collection, but rather a mere function of the fact that like art, each arouses certain emotion in the wear, or at least, has a different function (dressy, sport, diving, bling).So where do you get watches if price is a concern (as it usually is)? eBay of course!

New from Techne: The Merlin Collection
Popular “budget” brand, Techn�� looks to have another winner on their hands with the recently released Merlin Collection. The military inspired pieces – reminiscent of airplane cockpit instrumentation and early mil watches – are available in a time (with seconds) only or a multi-function version. ?The movement inside of each is a Seiko Instruments quartz movement, specifically the VD78.A quick look at the specs reveal a very moderate 38mm size with 20mm lugs and a mineral crystal. Water resistance is shallow at 50M, which is logical for a watch with pilot-styling. The watch has a number of options for the strap at purchase: NATO, canvas or cowhide leather options are available for each model. The multi-function provides day of the week and date over the time only version.Prices for the time only models are $190-$200 and the multi-function runs $240-$250, depending on your strap choice.Tecnh�� has continued to put out well designed military-inspired timepieces and

Breitling SuperOcean Chrono will not start after winding
Hello TRF, I have had my Breitling for 15 years and never had a single issue. Today, I went to wind my watch to wear it after sitting for four days (normal practice) and even after winding 40+ times, the seconds hand will not start moving. This has never happened to me before. The watch is stored face up in a box, wrapped around a role. Everything feels normal when I wind it. Any advice?-Thanks
