Tissot Racing-Touch Watch For 2011
For the last few years we have gotten a new Tissot T-Touch style watch each year. Last year it was the Tissot Sailing-Touch, and for 2011 it will be the Racing-Touch (Racing T-Touch). Here is a sneak peak as what Tissot's new T-Touch model will be all about.Like the T-Touch Trekking, the Racing-Touch seems to be thinner in size, but I am not sure how wide (UPDATE: 43mm in steel for now). For the first time the T-Touch gets a rotating dive style bezel as opposed to a navigational style bezel. The touch-screen Swiss ETA quartz movement gets a few new features. One of them (not new) is oddly not "racing inspired" being a Tide graph. This seems to replace the "Meteo" function that was a weather predictor using the barometric pressure. If the watch is about track racing, I am not sure how the Tide function fits in, but is nevertheless cool. The Tide function was first seen on the Sailing-Touch watch.The watch also feature a "Lap" function which seems to supplement the Chronograph (that is n
new addition - Forged carbon 44mm AP
For a long time I had been looking at Audemars's collection online but never had a chance to try one on. About a month ago I bought my first AP Volcano without trying it on, and really fast I fell in love with Offshores. I knew I will add another one very quick but couldn't decide on which one to add. There are so many nice ones, Bumblebee, Diver, SS 44mm, RG 44mm and FC 44mm. I flew to Vegas last weekend to try new Chronographs and finally made my choice - Forged Carbon. I have WG, RG, YG, SS, bronze, titanium, composite, ceramic pieces in my collection so I thought I must add Forged Carbon piece next. Especially thanks to Phil and Thomas for helping me make my decision. Not sure how many Forged Carbon lovers are here on forum, but you must see it and try it to really appreciate it. Here are some pictures of my new baby

New Watch "Running In" - Accuracy Query
I just got my new 510, replacing a 112 I lost. In this 1st week it was off 10 minutes +/-.I have read there can be accuracy issues with the p5000 movement.I've also read new watches may need to run for a few months before accuracy can be assessed. This true?I got the 510 last Friday so haven't hit 8 days yet. Nor have I properly monitored how/when the big chunk of inaccuracy came from ie. start of the 8 day cycle, mid point or towards the end - what's typical?I'll start watching how it performs more closely. Love the watch though, more than my 112 (which was as accurate as my Rolex Sub).Either way, great to be back in the club. Was without for 4 months until I could source a replacement - Jomashop as NZ stock is minimal with only one dealer in NZ.DannyBoy.
