Longines Avigation Oversize Crown Watches For 2013
Longines has just announced a new (old looking) collection with the new Avigation Oversize Crown pieces. As a mid-year release, these are in line with the many classical sport watch pieces that Longines enjoys producing. Retro looking pilot watches are unquestionably in their renaissance as they not only manage to fit perfectly into the popular trend of larger watches, but also serve as a refreshing alternative to retro-inspired dive watches (come on folks, leave a few historic designs to revisit next year). At launch, the collection will contain a three-hander, GMT, and chronograph.What is much more interesting for those of us who enjoy retro-style watches such as this, is that models from Longines tend to be rather fairly priced.?Longines?is paying tribute to the older era of flight with these three new models in the Avigation Oversize Crown collection.

Greetings all,New to the forums and to the Omega world.I am very interested in the Speedmaster Professional, or the moon watch.

New Member, Old and Damaged Air-King
Hi, I'm from DC, and I just inherited a vintage Air-King.Was curious if I could get some advice on the best and/or most cost-effective way to repair said Air-King.I haven't yet removed the band to see the serial number and other information, but it looks to be a 70s or 80s Air-King, with a severely scratched and cracked crystal, and very worn and scratched band. The watch still ticks, but is slower than it should be. I plan on getting the watch repaired fully, but I'm unsure if it is worth going the Rolex certified route when considering the likely value of the watch itself.Watch holds sentimental value, as it was my late grandfather's, given to him by my late grandmother.
