WATCH WINNER REVIEW: Minus-8 Layer
We thank Michael K. for his pictures and watch winner review after being the lucky recipient of the Minus-8 Layer watch our October 2014 watch giveaway.? Don't forget to enter this month for a chance to win a Maurice Lacroix Pontos S dive watch here.The Minus-8 Layer is not a watch I would have normally picked, so I decided to use the generous opportunity provided by Mr. Ariel Adams, watches-dealer, and Ms. Natalia Daniel (a delightful woman with PCH/MINUS-8), to take a leap.

5713 running 4 to 5 seconds fast per day
I've had my 5712 nearly a year. Over the past couple of weeks I've monitored accuracy of the timepiece. It seems like it's running 4 to 5 seconds fast per day. As I go into my last year of Factory Warranty, should I consider getting this corrected before warranty is expired? Thanks

Just watched a video comparing omega seas master to a submariner. The AR coating on the Seamaster is amazing. Why does Rolex not wanna implement this?
