IWC Announces Updated, Smaller Ingenieur Watches
Did you get your fill of pilot's watches from IWC in 2012? Good, as they have directed their 2013 efforts towards the Ingenieur and have launched a series of new models that commemorate their historic line of anti-magnetic watches that were originally designed for duty on the wrists of French engineers (le science!). The new Ingenieur models include both three-handers and a selection of chronographs. Here we will take a look at the three-handers, in which IWC has announced two very different Ingenieur variations.The first, and possibly most surprising, is the new ref 3239 Ingenieur Automatic which is built around a comparatively tiny 40mm platform. Most modern Ingenieurs are 46mm wide (and fairly tall) but this 40mm version returns to an old-school sweet spot and is a cuff-friendly 10mm thick. The underlying message here is that IWC wants to offer up some competition to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus. As I've never really taken to the trend of large watches (

15400 quality issues?
Hi there,I'm very happy with my 15400, it's a stunner!Having said this, the thing has some issues that worries me. Bought it a month or so ago fresh from the AD. When I set the date only the crown seems to get stuck while turning it. Turning it slightly back and forth will solve it, but still. When I set the time, the second hand will hack, but when pushing the crown towards the case the second hand will not move. Only after i shake the watch a bit. And it runs +15sec/24h.I will wait a while to break it in, it's on rotation so I don't wear it often. I will wear it for the next month or so and wait what happens. If is doesn't get better I will sell it. I'm not going to wait 6 months for a repair on a brand new watch. Besides that, heard enough horror stories about AP's after sales.

Safari
I don't see a lot ROO Safari watches on here, why?

crazy or what??
I will present 2 watches .One is a SS watch with an outdated complication which is of no use to anyone at allThe second is a gold watch with a stunning automatic movementIf you should ask 99% of watch collectors, I would hazard a guess and say the mojority would value no 2 way above no1However as most of us here know no 1 ranks way above no2.Why??Who knowsThey are both just a beautiful- similar case and similar face

I swear I am done....
I have been on the hunt for this for a while now after a couple of quick transactions from TS'ers here in our community. But I expanded my search criteria about 100 miles from home and got an email yesterday after only a couple of weeks that what I was searching for had arrived! AD, no line to speak of, really nice family owned store and I will continue to give them business whenever I am looking for something. But I think there is not much else on my list at the moment, at least from Rolex. First impressions are that I absolutely love the 43mm being accustomed to 42mm offshores and think the wear is similar, if not a bit smaller. Dial is gorgeous, red just pops and I think it will be a fantastic daily! LOVE IT!Thanks to all of those current owners I PM'd with questions, was very helpful! Quick shots below!
