BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends November 21, 2014
Tag Heuer is a curious?brand in that its pieces are diverse in its price range. It makes relatively affordable quartz pieces and at the same time also has some truly outstanding and costly watches such as the Monaco V4 Tourbillion and the MikroPendulumS. And earlier this year at Baselworld, it announced a brand new chronograph movement called the CH80 and a new watch that will feature this new movement called the Carrera CH80. The watch was positively received and many were looking forward to its launch. However, production was delayed time and again and the latest news seems to indicate that Tag Heuer will cease production altogether. This all sounds very drastic, and in this round-up, we feature an article that takes a considered look at why this has happened.If we were to take a look at the individuals who have contributed most to horology, many of them would be British. Here are some examples: John Arnold, John Harrison, George Graham, Thomas Mudge, and more recently, George Daniel

Dievas Vortex Professional Watch
Dievas is following up the original Vortex with this Vortex Professional. I always liked the original Vortex. It more or less combined the best features of a dive watch with the best features of an aviator watch. For many people, this is the ultimate "mission" timepiece.Two years after the original Vortex was released the Professional seeks to improve upon the tool-like nature and legibility of the watch. I think that for many people the original Vortex is going to be more of a "style" watch, but the Professional is just that - for more serious situations where durability and legibility are essential.The Professional has a 44mm wide grade 5 titanium case coated in black DLC - which is very scratch resistant. It still has the rotating diver's style bezel and the good-looking case design. The watch is water resistant to 500 meters with a sapphire crystal. It also has an automatic helium escape valve. The dial is now all lume with the numerals and hands being in black. For style the trian

Platinum vs gold can someone explain the price disparity
I really don't understand why platinum pateks and well as other companies charge so much more for platinum watches. Years ago platinum cost much more then gold. These days platinum is about 950 us dolllars an ounce. Gold is about 1260 an ounce. Granted they use 18kt gold which is 75 percent pure which equals about 960 or so an ounce. Platinum in watches is 95 percent pure. Another words gold is worth more then platinum. For those of you who think platinum is harder to work with that's not true because I ask a refiner.
