Pre-SIHH: 3 New Watches from Panerai, Lange, & Jaeger-LeCoultre
Geneva’s SIHH watch fair is only a month away, and the luxury watch brands exhibiting there continue to offer sneak peeks at several of their new timepieces set to debut in 2014. This week we take a look at three new watches from Panerai, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and A. Lange & S?hne.The Panerai Luminor 1950 Left-Handed 3 Days – 47 MM (Ref. PAM00557), with its winding crown and patented crown protection device positioned at 9 0’clock on the left side of the case, recalls some of Panerai’s earliest models created for Italian naval commandos of the 1930s and 1940s. These military divers used to wear several wrist instruments at once, including compasses and depth gauges, and often preferred to wear the watch on their right wrist. The modern version of this vintage Panerai watch has a cusped caseband that distinguishes it from the traditional Luminor 1950 case and, in the historical models, represented the transition between the Radiomir and Luminor case styles.

Looking At Liquid Metal Watches With Omega
The modern arms race with watches isn't about gears and pinions, but rather materials. It may appear that brands are hot on beating each others' movements but they know that such a war would be a joke. The race for the most accurate movement slowed to almost a halt when quartz watches hit the scene, and there are almost no new viable complications to be invented. The secrecy and excitement in the world of high-end watches is all in discovering, creating, and exploiting the hottest new materials.We've seen this over the last 10 years more than ever. Ceramic, titanium, carbon fiber, silicium, and other new or previously under-utilized materials are more than common now. Even within those categories are new alloys, manufacturing techniques, formulations, uses, and colors. For those who only get hot and bothered by calibers, I say start looking outside the watch more often.In about 2009 Omega announced that it would be using a new type of material called Liquidmetal. What arrived soon afte

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean - Advice needed

Spineless...came away with another watch instead
Hi for those who were kind enough to read and repond to my previous thread about me being frustrated with Omega not delivering my ordered speedmaster. Well today I went to my AD to cancel the order and was then going to purchase this watch from a Boutique In London (I guess this is what Omega wants us all to do)But the manager at My AD promised me every effort would be made by them with phone calls every other day to Omega chasing this as they did not want to lose my money or business. He was very convincing.... so much so that I left with a new watch with nice discount. It felt perfect for me and looks great on. It is the 2012 Olympic Aqua terra, Great dial in a very unusual blue. I enclose an Omega photo of it until I have chance to post wrist shots, (This watch looks so much better in the flesh) hopefully at the same time I can post the Speedy photos as well.

Always clean the watch first.
