Ernst Benz Releases The ChronoDiver Thinking It Is Being Innovative And Unique: It's Not
Ernst Benz is like an estranged cousin of Panerai with little bloodline connection. It makes a heap of really large watches with "instrumental" appeal, but unlike Panerai, the watches typically suffer from being appropriate without being very unique. Oh, and they are overpriced, in my opinion. The newest from Ernst Benz is the new ChronoDiver collection, with a name as dry as the watch themselves. There is actually nothing at all wrong with the watches. They are a pretty good emulation of a theme. That theme being the diving watch chronograph. The thing is, for the over $5,000 retail price, where is any character of innovation? You get a 47mm wide case, a number font that looks to be Ernst Benz-ish, and perhaps come concentric circle texturing on the dial. Otherwise, we've all seen this design hundreds of times before.So what gives? Ernst Benz did need a diving watch for their line up. Practically everyone does, but this effort just seems a bit rushed to ask such a price for such a sta

11.15pm - trouble
alas my ROO is giving me a problem yet again. i have sent it in previously on about 4 occasions and was even given a replacement. it has previously been stopping and the excuse is always that the oils have dried up inside.now the problem is at precisely 11.15pm every night, the minute and hour hands will stop. the second hand continues moving and it is fully wound and placed in a winder.anyone have a similar problem in the past?

Buyer insists on using PayPal
I have a buyer in Australia interested in a watch I'm selling but he insists on using PayPal despite the additional fees and claims that he cannot do a wire transfer from his bank. I really don't believe the latter is true but maybe he justs wants to use a credit card to protect himself. Is there any safe way for me to accept a PayPal payment? Or is there another safe alternative payment method? In addition, what is the best way to ship the watch to Australia? I apologize for all the newbee questions. This will be my first flip. From what I've read PayPal is bad for the seller.

Speedmaster:: Apollo 11 - 35th Anniversary.
Yes I'm sorry for making a new thread for it, but I believed my half-bummed effort on my last thread regarding this watch, doesn't do it justice.I have re-matched it's strap with a matte dark brown croco, and it gives me a very unique, distinct, and unmistakable look.There's nothing much to say about it anymore, it's simply a beauty.I think, of all the special Speedmasters edition, this is my favorite.
