Sinn Chronograph Tachymeter Limited Edition Watch
German Sinn timepieces are really hard for us tool watch lovers to resist. Often stalwart in their new products, over the last few years they have been a bit more trendy and playful. While I don't know first hand, I have a feeling that the Bell & Ross success was a major eye-opener for them. Back in the 1990s when Bell & Ross began, they were basically selling dual-branded Sinn watches in a new distribution method. It was basically like selling the best tools in a hardware store, but now in a department store. Bell & Ross has since come a long way, but their roots in offering plain and simple instrument watches hasn't changed much.I've noticed Sinn starting to offer more limited edition models, especially those that play into the vintage watch theme. Here is one such limited edition model that will surely appeal to Sinn and vintage watch lovers. This is the Chronograph Tachymeter - and is sort of exclusive for the German market (though anyone can get one). The Chronograph T

Bring a Loupe: A Submariner You Probably Haven't Seen Before, An Enicar You Likely Did Not Know, And A Heuer Autavia You Absolutely Should Not Buy
This week's Bring A Loupe will cover rare and attractive watches, available right now on eBay and at upcoming European auctions. Among our picks, you should not miss one of the rarest Tudor Submariners: the reference 7923, an early diver with a manually-wound movement. You will also find a white dial chronograph from Enicar, and a highly controversial Heuer Autavia. Dive watches will be represented, with a rare Longines and a funky Universal Geneve. This is your Bring A Loupe for November 20, 2015. A Funky Polerouter Sub From Universal Geneve �C A Lot Of Orange At Once 1 OF 12 The second execution of the Polerouter Sub makes the first execution that we covered here appear almost conventional in comparison. Design-wise the second execution announced the 1970's with its bright orange hands, its large asymmetrical case, and the innovative indexes. Like the first execution, it houses an automatic movement with micro-rotor, the caliber 69, a rare feature in a div

Omega 007 Bond Seamaster back after 6 week hiatus!
I went to Tourneau in early June to have them replace my pins and barrels since they randomly would fall out. This has been my daily watch for the past 5 years. It took them 4 weeks to get the parts in from Omega, and then they sent it off to their Las Vegas location to be repaired. Well, yesterday I was reunited after a 6 week hiatus. The repair was only $25. Not bad. Here are some quick pics that I took today. Enjoy!

Upgrading the Explorer 214270
It's possible that a similar thread has been posted on this forum but I searched and didn't find anything. Anyway, here's my question. If one has the older version of the explorer I with the MK1 dial and shorter hands is it possible to upgrade to the MK2 dial with longer hands? If so, does the watch have to be sent to a RSC or can it be done at an AD? Has anyone done this? If so, how much did it cost? I have an explorer I with a MK1 dial and I'm really happy with it, short(er) hands and all, but I'm curious as to what options I have. Thanks, Robert
