Introducing the Victorinox Chrono Classic 1/100th
Announced at Baselworld 2013, Victorinox has updated a number of models in their existing line, including their very popular Air Boss and Maverick timepieces.

The Chrono Classic comes in a number of color finishing and strap combinations, including dark grey PVD with a black leather strap or metal bracelet, or gold PVD with a brown leather strap or metal bracelet.Water resistant to 100 meters and featuring a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, the Chrono Classic is buil

Railmaster '57 Trilogy - can I swim....?
Never posted on the Omega forum (I've owned a couple of Rolex) but I currently find myself seriously considering one of:Seamaster 300 modernSeamaster 300 '57Railmaster modernRailmaster '57Firstly, I welcome any views or experience from owners or enthusiasts on any of the above. How do they compare in quality and fit & finish to a modern Rolex, perhaps something like an Explorer ?Secondly, I note that the Railmaster '57 has a quoted water resistance of 60m. I am not familiar with the conventions of Omega's depth rating - is this a rating that means you can comfortably swim and bathe or is it little more than splash proof ?I think I prefer the look of the Railmaster '57 to the Seamaster '57 but the depth rating is my main worry.

I can feel the insides moving when I shake my watch?
Hi guys,I recently purchased an Omega Speedmaster Automatic with White Bezel. Model No. 323.30.40.40.04.001I've been wearing it daily for the past 4 days, and today was the first day I left it on my desk without wearing it. I come home and start to play with it, and when I shake it from side to side, I can feel the inside piece spinning and it makes a noise... is this normal?!

Grail Arrival
5980/1A (to cut to the chase!)After 30 years of collecting, and several years of lusting, I am left with two watches that belonged to each of my Grandfathers, one that belonged to the priest that married my wife and I, a 40th birthday present from my wife, and finally this:This is the ONE. I will probably rotate 3 of the other 4 watches on rare occasions (the 32mm Elgin military doesn't keep good time). But with these exceptions, this will be my daily, my week-ended, my dress-up, my dress-down...you get the idea!The Aquanaut and Calatrava (and most of what little watch fund cash I had) have been traded for my dream watch. Lots of Rolexes have come and gone, none remain. Omegas and (don't judge!) Wittnauers too (vintage Wittnauer is my favorite budget Swiss watch when I go through that phase).Hard to believe I finally made my goal. For a guy who constantly ribs other members about what's next, it's odd to feel there is no next. A temporary situation to be sure!Thanks to all for letting

Need info about my patek
I am new to this site and am hoping to find help with a Patek Philippe 2526 I have which has been in my safety deposit box for years. It is a GUBELIN model in 18kt gold with a solid 18kt gold bracelet band. Years ago I had it authenticated and when inspected the jeweler showed me the gold ingot on a track which rotates to automatically wind the watch. I am now getting on in my years and am considering selling it but am by far no expert or collector just have a few watches I put away years ago. I also have a rolex submariner 18kt gold with a 18 kt gold diver band which I will be asking for help on the rolex thread.All info would be gratefully appreciated and I will attempt to upload pictures if I am allowed due to my being new to this blog.Thanks to all.Larry (bullstone) Stone
