Star Wars Watches By Marc Ecko Sneak Preview
A deep sense of childish excitement erupted when I laid my eyes on these early renderings of the new Star Wars collection watches by Marc Ecko. The brand and trademark (for Marc Ecko watches) is now owned by the Timex group, who are probably going to do a good job at making Marc Ecko watches look much nicer. I have not always been a fan of the brand's offerings, see this article of mine here. Actually come to think of it, I don't see at all how a Star Wars themed watch fits into the Marc Ecko style at all, though I am perhaps missing something the designer did in the past. Regardless, who cares? These new watches are going to be pretty darn awesome! I don't really care what brand name is slapped on them as long as they look good and are done with decent quality standards.For one thing, I don't think that this is going to be the whole collection, but rather 2-3 preliminary watch renderings, and there will be more.

PO8500 rubber strap source.
Been to my local AD and they've quoted almost ��400 for a deployment clasp and the new rubber strap for a planet ocean 8500. Does anyone know of any better sources for these straps and deployment clasp in the U.K.? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Question on older Constellation
image.jpgAn old friend of mine passed away and he left me his well used Connstellation. I was trying to learn a bit more about it. He told me he bought it when he was in the service in the late Vietnam era, I think that is correct for this model. I wanted to look up the serial number but the number on the movement is unlike others I've seen. Is this a replacement movement or something of that sort? Also the band is missing one of the links closest to the case, I have no idea how that came to be but if I want to wear it I'd need at least two links and it sure would look better if it wasn't missing that link. Am I right in assuming I should just be on the lookout for a complete bracelet assuming I ever decided to wear it?

What do you think of this particular Seamaster 300 ref. 165,024?
The particularity of this watch, as you can see from the photos, is to be equipped with the hands of the ref. 14755, have the bracelet 7912 - prod. 1 / 64 with the final 16, the caseback shows the ref. 165024-63 S.C., the movement is a Cal. 552 n. 20.308.XXX. In 2006 I wrote to Omega, which he said sent a bank archives showing the confirmation of the bracelet fitted, the production date of the clock: 23.3.1964 and the general indication of the dispatch of the in Italy. Regarding the types of hands I was told by e-mail from that statement is archived on this particular set of clocks were mounted various types of hands. By consulting various forums on the Internet and viewing hundreds of images of catalogs in every language, I found only two pictures of a catalog of 1964 Omega made only for Italy, on .segnatempo.it; .vetroplastica.it on and on .orologiepassioni.net
