MMT 'Horological Smartwatch' Platform Ties Switzerland To Silicon Valley
Ever since the smartwatch became a thing, I have been preaching that companies need to pool their resources and talents to create something that consumers want. A new type of smartwatch platform called MMT (Manufacture Modules Technologies) was just announced out of partnership between a series of companies both in Switzerland and in Silicon Valley. This isn't a big deal just because it means the small but crowded smartwatch market has a new face, but because, in my opinion, it represents a wise step in the right direction of how the Swiss luxury watch industry needs to integrate itself into the smartwatch world.

How Long For PO Chrono To Return From Repair?
I sent my Planet Ocean Chronograph in last week for repair. The watch was acting funky to say the least. Keep time, stop running, complications would sometimes work etc. From what I understand they have had problems with this movement so I was not shocked. I just want to get a rough idea of the ETA. since this will hopefully fund another piece. BTW: Does Omega send the watch back polished?

Service Issue
Recently I have had my Yacht-Master serviced. It's a 2002 model F serial number and was purchased used in 2011. I noticed that there were scratches on the bezel, but it never bothered me. Seven years later I send it in to be serviced due to a vibration that was felt when I shook my wrist to adjust its position. When I got it back I see they had polished the bezel and I can't make my mind up if it is something that bothers me or not. I'm hesitant to say anything but I'm not exactly happy. I will see if I can add before as well as after photographs. Any opinion on the matter is greatly appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Datejust 41mm but which dial?
I have got a hankering to own/wear the new 41mm Datejust but I am unsure on which dial colour to go for!I have tried them all on and these were my observations.Blue Dial, looks great and I love the way that it changes colour under a different light. Is it a harder colour to get hold off?Black Dial, is not a solid black, when compared to my Sub, but instead has a slight grey tint to it.Rhodium Dial, looks amazing, but I am unsure if the dial reflects too much.White Dial, sadly to me on a 41mm looks too much.Silver Dial, was not one that I was keen on.Which dial did you choose and why?Photos are always welcome.Once I have sorted that problem out, I then need to choose between fluted or smooth and Jubilee or Oyster
