Watch Winner Review: Traser Red Combat
The February 2014 watches-dealer giveaway was for a Traser H3 Red Combat watch. Our fortunate winner was Gary F. in England and he has followed-up with some images and thoughts about his pretty cool new Red Combat tritium-lumed timepiece:? As I took this watch out of the box my wife expressed that It looks like something Action Man (GI Joe in the US) would wear. I suppose that, in it's own right, justifies the name of this watch.At first glance the watch looks a bit like a toy, as it has a resin body, although on careful inspection there is an internal body that looks to be an alloy, the bezel is a PVD coated steel and the watch glass is sapphire, so the build should be pretty robust. This is further evidenced by the fact that the watch is capable of a 200m (660 ft) water resistance, so it could be used for diving.It's also quite big, measuring up at 45mm diameter, and is 11mm deep, but the weight has been kept low at 94 grammes, particularly helped by the NATO strap. I have quite a

Hands-On: The IWC Portugieser Chronograph Reference 3714
If you’ve been following IWC for the last few years, you know that they’ve taken a somewhat different tack in introducing new watches at the annual SIHH exhibition in Geneva – rather than exert themselves to create new watches across several collections, as is the norm, the firm’s been concentrating on a single collection per year. This year was the Year of the Portugieser, and there were quite a few new watches introduced as this was also the year that IWC chose to begin launching a series of new in-house movements. However, there was one reference that remained unchanged: the Portugieser Chronograph Reference 3714. The watch first saw the light of day in the 1990s, following on from the design of the Portuguese rattrapante chronograph that preceded it. Remarkably, it’s persisted for nearly 20 years, quite literally completely unchanged except for some occasional updates to the available colors for the dials and hands, as one of the most successful

Breitling 2010 offerings
just been on the site and had a look at the 2010 models,just wondered what you all made of the watches coming out this year.the galactic range have caught my eye especially the chrono version .it seems to me that the non chrono Galactic is still powered by the Breitling 13 movement.so no inhouse movement for these newer watches as with the bo1.however the newer dials have been influenced by the latter model.Seems to me that the Galacti range are a replacement for the chrono cockpit/cockpit which i aways had a soft spot for but never saw at any ad's!!what do you a make of their effort this year?

PAM 510 "10 DAYS"...almost...
I'm really enjoying my new acquisition and my very first PAM. The new movement may not be proven yet, but it's off to a great start in my book. Watch ran for 9 days and 20 hours on a full wind (winds silky smooth too), lost about 11 seconds in the whole duration. The power reserve is impressive. Is that type of PR normal for PAM's other 8 days as well?

I always like to see some sports steel watches in stock, lady told me they received them last week. Tried on the Polar 42 mm, too big for me but great watch.
