Introducing the Christopher Ward C5 Slimline Square
I've always felt that the under $1,000 dollar watch market was lacking in dress watch options, particularly mechanical ones. Sure, there are some out there, but they rarely stand out, and those that do, end up becoming very popular. One that I've always thought was a great option was the Christopher Ward C5 Malvern Automatic. Simple, modest, handsome and very affordable, at $550 it's a great watch for someone in need of a versatile dress watch on a budget. C Ward has continued to grow that line over the years adding colors, finishes, some twists and turns, and now a new model that is an exciting departure.Following up on their previous C5 Malvern Slimline, released in 2014, C Ward is taking the watch in a bold new direction with a square case. The so-called C5 Slimline Square (or squared if you're reading the dial) is an elegant interpretation of the platonic form, dropping the 90 degree angles for rounded edges and bowed sides. It comes across a bit art-deco and mid-century adding a r

Introducing: The IWC Mark XVIII (40mm, Anti-Magnetic, And Just Right)
You asked for it, you got it. Here is the IWC Pilots watch you've been waiting for – if you thought these were too big and this was too small. This is the brand new IWC Mark XVIII – the heir apparent to THE most important and iconic pilots line in the world. And, it's been dropped down in size to 40 mm, the dial's been cleaned up, and it's been given a brand new pair of (way more fitting) shoes. This one you're gonna like. 1 OF 3 The new IWC Mark XVIII is 40 mm in diameter. Up until today, the Mark Pilots Watch – the XVII – was 41 mm in diameter, featured an altimeter style date display, and came on an exotic strap. You could say that those three things have been remedied in the new Mark XVIII. The case size is now 40 mm, four larger than the Pilots Watch 36 and four smaller than the new Big Pilot. We now have a single date display, and on the black dial model, with a window also in black. Finally, the Mark XVIII now comes

Is this a movement issue?
The watch has stopped as the power reserve has wound down. It is now when I start to end the crown on it's winding position for about 60 turns and the seconds hand does not move whatsoever. I then proceed to lightly shake the watch and the seconds hand starts to move. Immediately lay it at rest to see if it would stop as the light jerk should supposedly last under a minute. To my surprise the watch has kept running for over 12 hours now and it seems like the initial wind did raise the power reserve back up. Should I be concerned that the seconds hand doesn't move as I start winding it? With my other watches the second hand starts moving about 10-20 turns after the power reserve has died off. The watch I'm talking about is the 15710st diver with a 3120 movement. I wonder if anybody else has also encountered this issue and care to share. Thanks!

Flipping a 16518 Zenith YG Leather Strap Daytona...
...for a Patek 5296R Sector Dial dress watch (38mm, very traditional style, blue hands, fine lines on dial, display caseback, auto).I could simply purchase the PP or flip my Daytona. I am not sure. Is the D a keeper? I have bought it for less than what the dealer would give me for it now. My love for Rolex has cooled down significantly, mainly due to the Bentley-esque change in its buyers demographics.
