Vulcain Cricket Annivesary Heart Automatic Calendar Watch
While it is rather pricey this new version of Vulcain's Cricket Anniversary Heart Automatic calendar watch is a lovey timepiece. Over the last few years their Anniversary Heart models have been stealing my attention. I like the design that is classic but still bold, as well as the emphasis on mechanics. I still feel that Vulcain makes the best mechanical alarm watches around.One interesting benefit to a mechanical alarm such as this over an electronic one is the sound. While there are some notable exceptions, most electronic alarm watches have an anemic "beep, beep" to them. Vulcain's Cricket movements make loud buzzing noises and vibrate a bit. I really want to see electronic alarm watches do that as you'll certainly be aware that your reminder if going off. The Cricket movement's alarm also goes off for like 15-20 seconds. It all depends on how fully wound the alarm barrel is. That is sort of the down side - each time the alarm goes off, you need to wind it up again.This new version

Event Recap: New TAG Heuer Ambassador Tom Brady Launches The Carrera - Heuer 01 Chronograph (Live Photos, Pricing)
Last night in New York City, new TAG Heuer ambassador Tom Brady and CEO Jean-Claude Biver launched the Carrera - Heuer 01. The Carrera - Heuer 01 is a huge achievement for TAG Heuer – an automatic chronograph with a manufacture movement at a very attractive price. I know what you're thinking – not another celebrity brand ambassador, but it turns out Tom Brady is a real watch guy. I spoke with Mr. Brady after the event to learn more. 1 OF 4 I'll be honest, I am not a football fan and I don't know much about Tom Brady's career. None of that mattered though – Mr. Brady is a very friendly guy and is really into watches. It turns out that the first mechanical watch that he bought was a TAG Heuer Carrera, after winning his first Super Bowl in 2002. We took a look at the new Heuer 01 together, and he explained that he appreciates the timeless style of the Carrera, both vintage and modern. When I asked about his watch collection, he laughed and e

Accuracy and consistency of AP ROO Diver (Ceramic Black)
Hi all,I recently purchased a ROO Diver Ceramic (Black with Orange markers). I have worn it daily for the past month and over the past two weeks, I have been observing the accuracy of the watch using my iphone clock as a reference and noticed two things that seem a bit odd to me.Firstly, the alignment of the minute and second hands.I have noticed that the second hand and the minute hand do not necessarily line up at different times of the day. (i.e. the second hand at the 12 o'clock position when the minute hand is at the minute markers). Some times, they would be aligned perfectly and at other times they can be off by as much as half a minute (i.e. the minute hand is directly in between two minute markers but the second hand is at the 12 o'clock position).The second hand is also about 10 seconds slower over the same time period. However, I do not think that the second hand being off by only 10 seconds is a big issue.Second, and what I believe is the bigger issue is the accuracy and co

Despite some conversion fees I still saved a good few hundred pounds. The nice AD threw in an umbrella too.Thanks to everyone who helped me make a decision on which DJ41 to go with. A pretty hefty upgrade on my ��300 TW Steel. Photo below!
