Swiss National Bank Promises "Unlimited Currency Purchases" To Weaken Franc, Swatch Group
We've talked about the strength of the Swiss Franc and its impact on the watch industry probably more than most of you cared to read. But, today, the Swiss National Bank took a dramatic step towards weakening the CHF when it announced unlimited currency purchases.?The biggest beneficiary of all this? You guessed it, the largest exporter of watches in Switzerland, the Swatch Group.? News of the decision sparked the company's shares to jump immediately, and although the price setlled off a little bit, this is great news for the watch industry (and us trying to purchase things from it).For more details on this, check out Bloomberg's detailed article.PS - Hey watch companies who have raised their US prices three times this year, think we can get one of those back?(Chart via BI)

I am a newbie to the TRF however I have just bought a Seadweller from OCRolexguy. I have no idea about Omegas.

I missed the dome crystal and the thinner profile of the 233, although it was nice to have the 9 numeral on the dial of the 533.Then, when I was getting ready to leave, something caught my eye in the watch box, and I asked to try it on. It was a 425 (47mm Rad with SLC dial), and wow! I thought it was amazing!I had never given Radiomir models much thought, but this piece seemed much easier to wear than my 422. The absence of the crown protecting mecanism of the luminor cases, added to the slimmer profile of the hand wind caliber and the sleekness of the wire lugs made this 47m
