Review: Seiko 5 SNZH53 Diver in Blue
I mentioned it in my article about the Timex Andros, I hinted at my love of it in my initial impressions, Blake put it alongside a Rolex Submariner and now I want to get down to it; the Seiko 5 SNZH is sort of a perfect watch. It is well made, it is nicely detailed, it has an automatic movement, it looks fantastic, it is versatile, it is unique and it is very affordable.The review is over; go buy one�� But seriously, save a couple of overlookable faults, the SNZH53 is exactly what I wanted it to be.Case: Polished and Brushed Stainless SteelMovement: Seiko 7s36B 23-Jewel Auto with Day/DateDial: Metallic Blue with Steel inlaysBezel: 120 Click Unidirectional with Blue Acrylic InsertLens: Domed HardlexCase Back: Screwdown Display BackStrap: Steel BraceletWater Res.: 10atm (100m/330ft)Dimensions: 42m, 45mm to crownCrown: Pull-outThickness: 14mmLug Width: 22mmWarranty: NAI bought the Seiko 5 SNZH53?because I had been pining over various heritage divers I could not afford or track down, like t

Bring a Loupe: A Heuer That Tracks The Tides, An IWC With A Compass, A Patek With Removable Lugs, An
This week's Bring A Loupe will focus on quirky watches, and explain the special something that makes each stand out from the standard production of the brand. Among the beautiful oddities featured, you will discover an interesting Patek with removable lugs and an IWC that hides a compass. This is your Bring A Loupe for November 13, 2015. The IWC Compass Reference 3510A, True Tool Watch With A Twist 1 OF 11 The Compass model was launched in 1978 as a collaboration between Porsche Design and IWC; it offered a very astute way to combine a compass and an automatic movement. Detailed R&D – yielding six patents – was necessary to properly shield the movement from the compass' magnetism and allow a swift opening of the top part to reveal the compass underneath. As a result, the watch is obviously thick – 12 mm – but the 39 mm case size partly makes up for that. In addition, it is divinely light, having been manufactured in both aluminu

Is it wrong?
My 15202 is on the FEDEX truck, returning from the spa, and I'm as excited as a new piece. I suppose it will be new in many regards. Just love its simplicity. Just in time for the weekend. Stay tuned for pics..

Just got my first Omega today! WOW!!
Just got my first Omega today. It's the Speedy Pro. 3570. This is my first high end time piece so it's quite a lot to take in. Not being from a wealthy background, it's quite a feeling of accomplishment to know I can afford something this nice. Shots to follow but just let me soak it in.Thank you to the users in a previous thread that steered me toward the 3570 vs the 50th patch.Special thanks to Fr. John for getting me in touch with his AD. Easiest transaction possible and fabulous service. Thanks!!

Pam 692
Hi All. I have a handful of Panerais and always seem to gravitate torwards Luminor Submersible 47mm, my submersibles are 305, 285, 507 and the 508 and I apsolutly love the 692. I especially like the new material for Panerai and what they are calling called BMG-TECH (Bulk Metallic Glass) i think the fact they have figured out this new material and a 50 year guarantee from the movement needing any kind of lubrication is cutting edge and will sell like hot cakes and probably make its way to other models. It's suppose to be lighter and more durable than their titanium and the color is said to be slightly darker than the titanium with a gray hue, which I like.Although I haven't seen it in person, I know I'll want the watch but trying to talk myself out of buying another submersible. Has anyone seen this watch in person? If so, would like to get some feedback.
