Introducing the C. Ward C8 P7350
On April 1st, we ran a joke post on Christopher Ward releasing a supercomplication for $10k… The crux of the joke being that C Ward has continually pushed the envelope regarding pricing and movement manufacturing in reality, and that an "affordable" super-complication would be the logical extreme… hardy har, we all had a good time :-). Well, this week C Ward announced the C8 P7350 Chronometer, which while quite different from a tourbillon, is still a version of them bringing a luxury concept into more affordable territory ("more" being the operative word, as it's their most expensive watch to date). You see, the C8 P7350 not only contains a serious in-house movement, a new variety of their SH21, but also a historical relic; a piece of a WWII era Spitfire.The C8 P7350 honors the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, a massive air campaign fought in 1940 by the RAF against the Luftwaffe. Christopher Ward commemorates this battle in two ways; first with a watch design bas

Introducing: The New Omega Speedmaster Moonphase Master Chronometer Chronograph For Baselworld 2016
The pre-Baselworld releases have started to roll in and today we bring you the upcoming new addition to the Omega Speedmaster Collection – the Speedmaster Chronograph Moonphase Master Chronometer. The watch was first announced in January and we're taking a look at it for the first time here at HODINKEE. 1 OF 2 The new 44 mm stainless-steel Speedmaster Moonphase features a blue dial with a moon-phase aperture at 6 o’clock, and is further set with 12-hour register and date sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock, respectively. This new Speedy also has a brand new in-house movement, the caliber 9904, which is made of 368 components and builds on the earlier 9300 series. The moon phase is both a Master Co-Axial and Chronometer and therefore is certified as a Master Chronometer. Additionally, the watch is now METAS-certified (the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology), which is a more thorough and intense certification than the COSC. The first METAS-certified watch was

Good morning everyone,I walked by this jewelry store yesterday and saw this watch again. In June of 2009, I was starting my search for a watch and came across this one at the very same place. He started by saying he wanted $3500, but could sell it for $2000, then $1500, then finally $900. I of course passed, not feeling at all comfortable with their random pricing, plus I couldn't find any info on this watch. Anyone know anything about it? What would it be worth? He of course told me that he just got it in, and it would sell any day now, but about a year later not only does he have the same one, but has collected 4 more, which don't seem to be hot sellers either. The store is located in Rockefeller center. Thanks for the help.

Submariner 114060 running erratically *pic heavy*
I've had this watch for just over a week. Most of the time it runs perfectly at about +1 spd but then randomly it will gain time very rapidly. When I woke up the other day it was +18 seconds and it had been resting crown down. Yesterday I decided to sync it with my Air King and take photos every hour for awhile to document the craziness. My AD seems to think the watch is fine so I needed some proof. Yesterday the Sub gained 10 seconds in a 6 hour period and as of this writing is still 10 seconds fast which means it just randomly speeds up for a few hours then settles down. I plan on sending it to Rolex today under warranty. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
