Roundup by Kenny YeoIn the fourth edition of our bi-weekly news roundup, we interview Hublot's Jean-Claude Biver; check out George Daniel's co-axial chronograph watch; examine the implications of the new Swiss Made ruling; learn about the finishing technique of beveling and more.1. Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT Watches Hands-OnJust before Baselword 2013, we previewed the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GoodPlanet GMT watch, which was a special edition watch which would offer a glimpse as to what the regular Planet Ocean GMT watches would look like.Now, however, we have pictures and a video of the rest of the Planet Ocean GMT lineup. Predictably, the new Planet Ocean GMT watches are handsome looking pieces and are built to very high specifications - water resistant to 600m and ceramic bezels with lacquered painted numerals for all models, except the one with the orange bezel, which is aluminum. As Ariel rightly puts it, these new watches are not a revolutionary addition, but as the ol

Definately keep your Sub for a worry free watch.
Stopped over in Curacao on a recent cruise, and spent a good bit of time in the local AP dealer there, trying on various RO and ROO models.Wow! Was really taken by the design and look of these watches, the level of detail and workmanship is first rate. I had not spend any significant time with AP prior to this trip. My DW really fell for the 47mm lady's offshore (that's gonna cost me down the road! ).The sales person who attended us was very nice, if not 100% knowledgeable about the watches. She stayed with us for more than an hour, and gave us a hardcover AP book when we finally left - even though she knew the prospects of an immediate sale were slim - our ship was leaving in a couple of hours.Anyway - what's holding me back at this point is the fact that I'm pretty happy with my Rolex sports models (the SubC gets most of the wrist time - best all-around watch I've ever owned). Outside of work, we lead a pretty active life, and I never have to worry about where I'm headed or what

My new 5167...
After several long months, a business deal I had been working on finally closed. It took a little convincing, but my wife let me celebrate by allowing me to get a new watch.... my first Patek... 5167. I had been a Rolex guy, but wanted something a little different and actually a little more under the radar where most folks won't really notice it. So far I LOVE this watch. I know it isn't for everyone, but it is perfect for me as a daily watch.... which I have already broken it in with some desk diving swirlies Definitely looking forward to many adventures with this watch.Anyhow, just thought I'd share my excitement....

Dent on lug from spring bar ejection?
I discovered a nice dent on my lug. Not too sure where it came from, but the dent lines up with the lug hole, which means it could've come from a spring bar coming through the front. If this is the case, my question is: can a springbar pop out with so much force that it produces a dent like this?20170217_213100.jpgSent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk
