BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends December 19, 2014
TAG Heuer is slightly troubled of late. Earlier this year, the company debuted its new CH80 in-house chronograph movement at Basel, but just months later, they decided to not only shelf production of the movement, but also to let some 46 employees go. TAG Heuer's new Chevenez facility, which was built in anticipation of the CH80 movement, would also be repurposed to produce other movements. Furthermore,?just recently, its CEO Stephane Linder resigned leaving the legendary Jean-Claude Biver, who is head of watches at LVMH, to assume the position of interim CEO. We spoke to Biver to understand what is happening and his plans for Tag Heuer in the future.As for merrier news, yes,?it is that time of the year again �C the holiday season?is less than a week away!

It's Official: I'm a fanboy
The more I explore, the more I like Omega. I had no intention of buying anything today. I went in to pick up a strap. Got the strap for my AT. And it's awesome. Should not have tried these on. Got one for me, one for my wife. Going to sell off another to even things out, but such is life.

Speedy number
Quick question:I have a Omega Speedy 357050 how do I check the year for serial numbers? Thnks

Warranty card
My wife's new aqua terra has a winding problem which the Omega boutique seems to agree with. Omega took the watch but asked fir the warranty card before any work can begin. Since the card is undated should I write the date before giving it to them?
