Luminox Sponsors USA Olympic Bobsled and Skeleton Team
The U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Team is well on the way to achieving medal-level victory in the Winter 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, in February, and Luminox is a proud partner in the team’s effort. Both the men's and women's teams have been performing with outstanding success on the 2009-2010 World Cup tour. The U.S. team has collected 13 medals to date, five of them gold. Reigning World Champion Steven Holcomb contributed six medals to the overall count after adding four gold medals to his growing resume, and currently leads in four-man standings.Bobsled legend Todd Hays had to give up his dream of racing in his fourth Olympics after he suffered a life-threatening brain injury from a crash during a Winterburg, Germany training run. Nonetheless, he was at the Lake Placid, NY America's Cup competition to bolster the US team forward. Only the top three ranked sleds among the nations will be granted a spot at the 2010 Olympics, and the U.S. has a strong chance to qualify the ma

Making Sense Of The Sellita SW200 Movement: Same As ETA 2824-2
Lots of people are starting to notice that watch makers are starting to indicate the movement of a watch as "Swiss Movement." For most of us, such an ambiguous designation is unacceptable, as this can mean just about anything. Strictly speaking, for a watch or movement to legally have the "Swiss Made" designation upon it, the watch or movement does not have to be made or assembled completely in Switzerland. In fact, only a certain percentage of the components must be made in Switzerland, and the watch does not need to be put together in Switzerland.Regardless, of the circumstances where you see "Swiss Movement," this means essentially one thing, the movement in the watch is going to be either an ETA or Sellita movement.

Interview: Aldo Magada Reveals Zenith's New Number One Market, And Explains The El Primero's
Aldo Magada, CEO of Zenith, was at the Royal Automobile Club in London to present the El Primero Chronomaster 1969 Hero Cup on Monday morning. A limited edition of 100 pieces, two of which will be gifted to competitors of the classic rallying competition, it cements the brand’s position in the world of vintage automobiles. We sat down with Mr. Magada to find out just how much the brand is driven by its icon. Arthur Touchot:Let’s start by looking back at 2015. Were you satisfied with the end-of-year results? Aldo Magada: Our numbers [this year] were actually in single-digit decline, mainly because of Hong Kong. As a place, it’s always been challenging for brands. It used to be our biggest market, but today Japan has overtaken it. Almost 75% of that market [Japan] is local, increasing steadily over the years, and is mainly buying El Primero watches. 1 OF 5 AT:For the second time in 12 months (after the Tour Auto Edition), Zenith is

Have you been there? What to do?
Hello fellow TRF Here's my story with Rolex and now my one and favorite watch1- bought my subC to celebrate a huge career milestone2- added the Blue DJ41 to have something dressy. Loved it!3- got offered a BLNR from my AD and fell in love when I saw it and bought it4- got a crazy discount for a hulk from my AD. And of course loved it when I saw it and bought it5- really wanted the JC when I saw it. Turned it down once then bought it from my AD6-7. The black ss Daytona and TT skydweller were next on my list and were offered ONLY as a bundle deal from my AD and I couldn't resist and bought them8- SD43 offered (twice) by my AD, turned it down first time then bought it the second time.....All of the above in the span of 6 months.Now that all the dust settled I wear m JC almost as my only watch... I ABSOLUTELY love it the most. The rest will get some (very little) wrist time and are pretty much new Now the question is should I keep them and rotate them every so often or sell the ones I don
