Pre Basel 2008 - Clerc Hydroscaph GMT Diver 1000m, Diving Just Got A Whole Lot More Extreme!
There are divers watches and then there are?DIVERS watches! The new Hydroscaph GMT Diver 1000m from Clerc is the kind of watch you would wear if you could go base jumping underwater. To say it is extreme is an understatement, this watch is 100% in your face and to be honest...I love it! The unsual lines and curves coupled with the stunning dial all come together to present a truly excellent example of advanced watch design.?Having said that, however, one of the things that really impresses me about this watch is that despite the fact it has been designed to stand out, Clerc has not sacrificed functionality for form. Thanks to a helium valve (pictured on the reverse side of the watch), which is adjusted by a rotating bezel and unique in its genre, this sumptuous timepiece is water-resistant to 1000 metres. It also features a power-reserve indicator and a?world-first system for adjusting it to the wrist.The specifications on this extreme piece are equally as impressive and further re-enf

Patek Philippe Manufacturing Process has the best quality control
Not really my cup of tea that I prefer A Lange, AP or Breguet when it comes to Visual appeal for that kind of money, but I appreciate the craft and the history of the brand.Probably the best quality control in the industry.

Watch Issues - Any Reason to Hold Off on Registering?
Unfortunately it would seem I need to send my watch into APSC. If you read my thread from last week you saw I had an issue with the date wheel sticking (which luckily seems to not be an issue anymore), as well as a little bit of slow time keeping.I am about -5SPD which I know is nothing to worry about, however, the first more serious concern i had is that, while winding the watch, i noticed the second hand slowed down a little. Almost noticeable to the eye.I stopped in the AP Boutique in NYC a couple days ago, and got my hands on some other 42MM ROOs. Not only did those watches not behave the same way while winding, but I also realized that both winding and tightening the crown on my watch is very rough to the feel and sound. Almost like a grinding.I compared my watch to a few others that day and they were all butter smooth. I was told at the boutique that it should definitely go in for warrantied service and/or at least get checked out by their watchmakers.Of course that brings m

Seamaster Pro 300 Hard Turning Bezel
I recently acquired a Seamaster Pro 300, the pre Bond style with the solid hands and dashes instead of dots on the dial. It is a wonderful watch and my Submariner will get less wrist time because of that. One of the things I'm less than impressed with on the Seamaster is the bezel. It seems that the bezel is difficult to very difficult to turn in comparison to the Submariner, is this normal? Do any of you have both a Seamaster and a Submariner how does turning the bezel compare on your watches. The watch just came back from a complete service before I purchased it so it's got a 2 year warranty if something isn't right.

Got me thinking..
Should I just sell the BLNR and keep the SkyD?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
