A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le Merite" Watch
2011 will experience the release of this new fusee and chain transmission watch from Glashutte, Germany based A. Lange & Sohne. To be honest, fusee and chain movement watches excite me a lot more than tourbillons. Not that they are mutually exclusive, but I really love the idea that there is a tiny hand-made (bicycle style) chain in a watch helping to move power from the mainspring to the movement. Plus, a fusee and chain is a lot more useful for accuracy and rate reliability than a tourbillon is.? Today there are only a few brands that offer watches with fusee and chain complications. The three that I can think of off the top of my head are A. Lange & Sohne, Breguet, and Cabestan. Who am I missing?Cabestan does the fusee and chain best because they make it visible on the dial. On This lovely Lange you'll have to peek around through the back of the watch for views of the chain. If you look at the movement image in this post you can see bits of the chain wrapped around the brass

Price check - Speedmaster 35th Anniversary
Hi guys, never really looked into Omega watches before until the 35th anniversary one caught my eye. Any idea how much it would cost to source one?

Lost gold back piece Patek 5270
Somehow I lost the gold back piece to my Patek 5270. My question is can I buy a replacement piece and if I can't does it effect the value when I decide to sell the watch. I really don't think anyone ever uses this piece but to a buyer might be valuable. Thank you

Bedtime read?
What are you reading? Apart from Rolex catalogues, that is.

My first ....
Hi guys.I thought I'd make my first post. I've been reading your posts for a long time so it's only fair that I make my own contribution. I have always admired Rolex watches since my dad gave me his SS date just about 25 years ago. So I decided a few months back to buy myself one, a bit indulgent but I think I deserved it! Others might disagree but hey ..... who gives what others think anyway?? I explored the collection, considered the sky dweller but found it too big on my wrist. I liked the Daytona but something didn't quite feel right. Ultimately I decided on this one (I hope the pic upload works.....). At the risk of sounding like a douchebag, or as a tosser as we Aussies would say, I'm in love with this thing! I'm sure you guys know what I mean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
