Omega Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 Watch
Omega X-33 watch lovers will rejoice to know that for 2014, Omega is releasing a brand new version of the X-33 called the Omega Speedmaster Skywalker X-33. You can now insert relevant Luke Skywalker and other related Star Wars references. This is an interesting move as just two years ago in 2012 Omega released what was supposed to be the modern X-33 with the Speedmaster Z-33 (reviewed here). Nevertheless, the cult favorite X-33 is back with a new and updated model.Omega's CEO quietly admitted to us that it was probably not the best idea to give the Z-33�Cwhich was technically great�Cthe historic Flightmaster-style case. So while the Z-33 isn't going away (at least for now), the essence of the X-33 is back with the Omega Speedmaster Skywalker X-33. This was a very quiet release, so more information will come in the future for sure. Further, we are excited to see that Omega is focused on this more niche high-end quartz community, and more importantly the needs and desires of today's astron

In-Depth: The Chopard Group Launches La Chronom��trie Ferdinand Berthoud, And FB 1, A Marine Chronometer For The Wrist
On September 22nd, the Chopard Group (which includes Chopard, the watch and jewelry maison, as well as Fleurier Ebauches, SA, the movement manufacturer) announced the very first timepiece from La Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud. La Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud is a new business for the Group – it was first announced in 2013, and its first wristwatch represents what co-presidents Karl-Friedrich Scheufele and Caroline Scheufele (brother and sister) hope will be the first in a series of wristwatches inspired by the life and work of Ferdinand Berthoud. These watches are intended to be a no-holds-barred exercise in luxury watchmaking, and will occupy a commensurate price point, but according to Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, whom we interviewed at the launch event at the Yacht Club de France, Chopard also hopes to stimulate interest in, and awareness of, one of the most important figures in the history and evolution of the marine chronometer. 1 OF 17 Ferdinand

5167R or other RG?
Hi all, my question is simple, I have an AP ceramic diver, black, am getting back in a few months THE watch I loved the most out of all I've had, the PP 5712, and I'm considering the 5167R.Might sound stupid as I'm not a huge RG fan, but I would like to be at 3 watches and think a RG piece should be in there, the idea of having 3 watches of different materials and appearance interests me, I wouldn't want 1 SS, 1 WG and 1 PT for example, yeah different materials but they look alike.What I like about the PP is the ultra thin and light, the rubber strap, the brown dial which looks really cool, the fact that even if it's RG it's very under the radar, and good WR.Do you think it's a good choice, would you choose this one as third or would you have other suggestions? If you have it needs to be on rubber, and probably no more than 40-45K, and basically that's it, don't hesitate to tell me your opinion and ideas if you think I should get another model.Thanks in advance guys

SubC Bezel Alignment
Anyone else have a bezel that appears off and either aligns 1/4 second to the left or 1/4 second to the right of the 12 o'clock position? I did several google searches and it seems like a pretty common issue. Every search I found pretty much said the same thing that it's a much more in-depth undertaking than just popping off the bezel, which I won't get into.It finally wore on me enough that I took it in to an AD today expecting to be missing it for a while. The watchmaker did confirm that the in-depth protocol is accurate. He said he could do it in-house, but he did suggest them sending it to Rolex after I expressed my concern of the open case and movement not being a dust-free environment, which he said he agreed with. However, he did recommend applying a small amount of clockwise pressure to the bezel because it's often one or more of the four click springs doesn't get set deep enough in the teeth/ratchet/gear/whatever. I'm not a technical guy so I'm ad libbing. Either way, I
