Close-Up: Cartier Calibre de Cartier Diver
Of all the watches that debuted at last year’s SIHH watch fair in Geneva, perhaps the one I least expected was a dive watch from Cartier. And it turned out to be one of the coolest new watches in recent years. In this article from my blog, Watch-Insider, I give you the scoop on Cartier’s foray into the world of “real” sports watches.The Cartier Calibre de Cartier Diver is an unmistakably masculine watch for both everyday wear and extreme conditions; it meets the challenge of combining the classical Cartier style with the technical requirements necessary to be considered a true divers’ watch under the international standard ISO 6425. To meet this standard, the watch must meet eight criteria for reliability and pass a series of extremely rigorous tests.Cartier Calibre de Cartier Diver in steel (above) and rose gold (below)For those who are unfamiliar with the ISO standard, these are the main criteria:Unidirectional turning bezelTo prevent any accidental rota

Breitling question.
How does the Breitling's second-hand move compared to the smoothness of Rolex's? Particularly those big bulky Breitlings. (like the ones that look like this one .rolexforums/showthread.php?t=5676 )

2013 Omega Seamater PO
Hello, I'm thinking about picking up a 2013 Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 38mm. I am getting it from a very reputable seller that I have purchased from in the past. It appears to be in excellent condition, however is their anything I should be concerned about on a watch that is 5 years old. Will this watch need a servicing in the near future? Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be offered.

Omega Speedmaster Rattrapante circa 2001
I'm thinking of buying one of these watches. Is there anything I should look out for ? It appears that this watch is unused since it was made around 2001. Is that good or bad.Thanks for any replies.

Just picked up - may actually keep this one...
Had an opportunity to grab a nice 5100R 10-day a few days ago, and while I was skeptical of the size, I really liked the history behind the piece, the slate-grey dial, and a 10-day PR. Plus, once I actually put it on, the size wasn't so bad. The watch is narrow, but tall - and fairly heavy. Besides - how often will you actually be able to get your hands on a 1 of 750 Patek? Sorry for crappy iphone pic, I'll snap a few better ones when I have a minute away from work and kids :)
