Zeitwinkel 273�� Watch
Zeitwinkel is a still relatively unknown brand making a range of dressy mechanical watches with in-house movements from their home in Saint Imier, Switzerland. While Zeitwinkel, whose name means "time angle" (in reference to a sundial), is only a few years old, they have managed to develop their own in-house movements and a range of watches in both 42.5 and 39mm sizes. Created by a design professor and watch enthusiast, Zeitwinkel is one of those small brands that just seems to be doing their own thing at their own pace. With simple but detailed styling that, much like their name, could be confused for German, Zeitwinkel is definitely worth a closer look.Zeitwinkel's flagship model is the 273��, a 42.5mm everyday dress watch that boasts multiple complications backed by their ZW 0103 in-house movement. The 273�� uses a steel case with both brushed and polished finishing that measures 13.8 mm thick including the domed and anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The display case back also feature

G. Gerlach Lux-Sport Review
When we last reviewed a G. Gerlach watch, I concluded by saying that I was more excited about the potential of the brand than the watch itself (the watch being the Otago, a 70's style diver). I felt that they had an opportunity, by being a Polish-made brand that used Asian movements, to sort of do whatever they wanted. They could set their own tone. Well, with the watch we are going to review today, I think it's clear that they are, and that they are quickly evolving into something great.The Lux-Sport is an automotive inspired watch that draws from a car of the same name from 1936. The watch itself is fairly modern to my eyes, but in keeping with the brand concept, it celebrates Polish history and industry. Like all Gerlach's the watch is also predominantly made and assembled in Poland. That is something to keep in mind when looking at this watch. There was no real watch industry in Poland (at least not currently) when G. Gerlach set about starting their brand. Now they make several wa

ROO strap compatibility?
Is it true that the diver and the 42mm ROO can share straps? What about the 44mm?If so, besides the rubber strap that comes with the diver, what other straps are available in tang buckle that would fit the diver or 42mm?Reason why I ask is because I like the 42mm versions too but hate the deployant buckle, interested in knowing what the options for tang buckles are if I went with a 42mm.

Certificate of Authenticity Question. To get or not to get?
While my 5402 is at the service in Le Brassus I've been offered to get a Certificate of Authenticity from the manufacture. The cost of this certificate is $450 as the watch is 34 years old and I am already paying $2800 for the service so it's already a big out of pocket.Should I get it or not?

Questions on the 5167
Thanks to all those posting pics of the 5167, I have been thinking about acquiring this beauty for some time. I have recently had the opportunity to borrow one from an acquaintance for a few days (it is extremely kind of him to let me borrow it) and I must admit I love it. The bezel is quite scratched up, so I suspect he is not as 'wrist aware' as I am. I have a few questions :-1. What is the current UK retail price for a 5167 on tropical strap? (Post recent reduction in prices).2. What is the likelihood of getting one with a discount from the UK?3. Does the bezel suffer wear from sleeves rubbing? I know puffy (Anders) found this to be the case and I believe was a reason he sold his, but I wondered what others experiences are? I expect scratches from impacts and I am careful to avoid those, but I have been hesitant up to now going for the 5167 due to concerns about the bezel's resilience to wear from long sleeves on clothes and coats. 4. I have read that when Patek service, it can take
