Romain Jerome D��a de los Muertos Watch
In honor of the Mexican Day of the Dead holiday known of course as Dia de los Muertos, Swiss Romain Jerome watch will produce two limited edition timepieces. There isn't too much to say about the new watches aside from describing them as they inherently are merely new dials for the brand. Living and growing up in Southern California you learn about the Day of the Dead holiday from a young age given the high population of Mexicans. Though I more or less have a rather ignorant understanding of it as "cool painted skull Mexican sort-of-like Halloween holiday." There is a lot more the Dia de los Muertos than that of course, as it is a holiday with roots going back thousands of years to Aztec traditions.The RJ Day of the Dead watches will come in PVD black coated steel cases that are 46mm wide. These are the traditional Titanic DNA style cases with the X going through the dial into the bezel claws. On the dial are two possible Dia de los Muertos style painted skulls (apparently done by Swis

moving from an explorer 2 to a seamaster gmt...
preface: i like rolex watches. i own a few of them. i like them all.i gifted a white exp2 (superluminova SEL 3186) to my dad and he likes it.my wife bought a black exp2 (superluminova also) and wears it on a strap as her wrists are too small - she likes it too.until recently, my beater has been a white exp2 (dead tritium non-SEL oysterlock) worn to hell and back.there's a myriad of reasons why i kept my exp2 in the cupboard and got the black seamaster gmt, the details of which i will explain... maybe at a later time, but it has something to do with RSC giving me a lot of grief.anyhow, i note that the seamaster gmt (SM GMT) is usually compared with the rolex gmt master 2. i thought i'd add my own impression of how it compares with an explorer 2 instead.any comments i did not make i probably don't care about (eg, the wavy black omega dial vs a glossy white rolex dial & slightly domed omega sapphire crystal vs flat rolex sapphire crystal - no difference to me as they are both legible

Aqua Terra Chronograph GMT
I am a beginner in watches and lot of things gets me curious and asking question is my last hope when Google doest have answers.I have been studying all the watches on the Omega website, The Aqua Terra Chronograph GMT watch got me curious. What is the use of the chronograph function and how to read it when there is no tachymetre dial on the watch ? Am I missing something here ? Any education is appreciated.

Gunny Straps - recommended!
I recently bought a Gunny strap for my PAM 346 off of strapfreaks. Some of the stitching started to come loose within a few days. I wrote to strapfreaks but their warranty policy is literally voided once the strap has been worn (I should have read their policy closely... that's on me), even though this was obviously a workmanship issue. They did offer me a repair which would have meant shipping the strap all the back to Indonesia on my dime. I ended up emailing Peter at Gunny Straps directly and he was very understanding and stated that he would send me a replacement ASAP. He definitely stands behind his work and takes obvious pride in his customer service.I would not buy from strapfreaks again, but I will definitely not hesitate to contact Peter for any of my future PAM strap needs.
