TAG Heuer to Supply Watches and Eyewear for Oracle Racing��s America’s Cup Defense
TAG Heuer and Oracle Racing have announced a partnership that will see the Oracle Racing crew outfitted with TAG Heuer watches and eyewear during the America's Cup World Series and the 34th America's Cup, the finals of which will take place on San Francisco Bay in September, 2013.

Long time reader first post. Own several watches from other brands but this is my first AP.

Vintage Omega Seamaster caseback question
I had never seen such a caseback engraving before and asking if any vintage Omega experts might know about or have seen similar casebacks. The watch is in bad shape and looks like a a similar case as a vintage Omega Automatic I currently own. Mine is a 1965 and this looks like that era model. But it is not a dive watch for sure - looks like a model that fell between the dive line and the Deville models. So did Omega use the Seamaster name on some non-dive watches?Any insights are much appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shock resistance of seamaster 300 master co axial
Anyone know the tolerances of the shock resistance? Dropped my new LE Spectre seamaster 300 about 3 or 4 feet onto carpet. Was not a hard hit, but saw it lost time after. The watch has been a little unpredictable - was loosing about a second a say when I got it, put on a winder started gaining about a second + or so a day. Then after one night, gained like 7 seconds in 12 hours. I then Let it run down and rest it and it was running +/- .02 seconds, then lost about .6 seconds in 5 1/2 hours after drop. This has th new Si14 balance spring. Any thoughts/experiences?

advice on 8500 straps
Im considering the 8500 planet ocean 42mm. I like the old style rubber straps however all the new POs i see have a rubber strap with deployant. the straps appear to be leather underneath. so therefor i doubt they would be good for water use. does anyone know if the older style rubber with tang buckle will work for the new 42mm 8500? im just not thinking i want the bracelet since it doesnt appear to have easy adjustments for wrist swelling. plus the rubber would be lighter on the wrist. thanks so much. i search all over and could not find my answer. ofrei didnt seem to list anything specific for the 8500 as far as rubber straps are concerned.
