Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Watch With "Liquidmetal" Ceramic Bezel
Why on Earth Omega would call a ceramic bezel "Liquidmetal" is a mystery to me (see update below). It not only is ceramic not liquid, but it isn't a metal. Well, it is liquid-like when being formed, but you get the idea. Ceramic as used on watches is actually made from glass as I understand it. It used to be that most bezels on dive watches were made from aluminum. Not sure why that is, but it is still very common. One approach to "luxurize" the bezel was the Blancpain approach of doing a bezel with a sapphire crystal over it. This prevented the scratching that people hate. This is really the problem with aluminum. Sure you can replace the bezels. but it is a pain, and not something you want to do when paying a lot for a diver's watch.(UPDATE): Turns out liquid metal is something else, not the ceramic part of the watch. Liquidmetal seems to be a special titanium alloy that has the manufacturing process of plastic. Thus it is very malleable. Omega uses Liquid metal at least in parts of

Tissot Heritage Navigator and Powermatic 80
Watch brands will, from time to time, revive an old design from its past line-up and update it a bit for the modern day. With Tissot turning 160 in 2013 the brand plans to do just that by releasing the Heritage Navigator, an update to the original 1953 Navigator world time watch.If you were to put the two watches side by side you would almost wonder if it was a one-to-one recreation, but not quite. The new Heritage Navigator first receives an update in size from 36mm to 43mm, quite a difference over the original but a somewhat common size today. The dial is nearly identical as Tissot only made modifications to a couple of cities to bring them to a more modern list. The hands, markers and bezel however pay homage to the original watch by sharing the same style.The idea of the design of the watch is to allow you to glance at your watch and see what time it is around the globe. This is done by first setting the watch to your home timezone where you then use the hands and the 12 hour marki

Nautilus 5711-1a-010
Hello I have an opportunity to order a Blue 5711-1a-010 and receive it in a few to several months. It will be my fist PP purchase after two Rolex incl a SS Daytona 116520 which is incredible. Can anyone who owns or is familiar with the 5711 give their opinions on it. Fans say that the 5711 is their favorite PP period.? I have seen a video of problems with the clasp opening on its own and if it is as light at the steel aquanaut that raises concerns for me. Thanks

Rolex DJII vs DJ41
Everyone, I am new to this site and am in need of your thoughts. I've been researching and gathering data on the DJII vs DJ41 for a long time. I am in position to purchase one or the other, both of which are blue dial smooth bezel with oyster bracelet. I honestly do not know which way to go. I generally prefer a heavier, larger dial watch with some heft. Personally I feel the DJII is slightly larger, heavier and thus wears that way on the wrist compared to the DJ41. Both movements are solid. The DJ41 feels slightly smaller to me, but the new movement and all the R&D Rolex put into it has me truly spinning. I don't think there is a wrong decision here as both are fantastic. Whichever I choose would be my first Rolex, so the history of the 3135(6) has me slightly edging in that direction. Any advice you all can put in would be much appreciated. Just to note, I have a great relationship with a Rolex AD and he has been trying to weigh in without being biased. I don't know h
