The Jaquet Droz Bird Repeater Openwork: 5 Things to Know
The Jaquet Droz Bird Repeater Openwork combines expertise in several arts to create an amazingly detailed and realistic automaton with minute repeater. This new model also features a clear sapphire dial that reveals the complex mechanism behind the moving parts. Here are five things you need to know about this new timepiece.The namesake of the Jaquet Droz watch brand, Pierre Jaquet-Droz, was an 18th century Swiss watchmaker who was known for creating outstanding examples of what some today might call very early robots. Known as automata, these figures took various forms, including human and animal, and they came in various sizes, from tiny miniatures to life-size. Exceptionally complex machinery caused the figures to perform a variety of tasks, including playing musical instruments, writing, and drawing. Jaquet-Droz was a master of this art, and he often included animatronic birds in famous table clocks, pocketwatches, and music boxes. The Bird Repeater Openwork is a remarkable tribute

Linde Werdelin SpidoLite II Tech
Linde Werdelin has announced two new limited edition models for their SpidoLite II series of luxury sport watches. The new LW SpidoLite II Tech features two variations of a watch that takes the recognizable SpidoLite II platform and moves it into the next generation as far as case construction and materials are concerned. The SpidoLite II Tech boasts case composition which employs both forged carbon and Linde Werdelin's own ALW, a proprietary metal alloy that is the result of two years worth of research and development.The Tech series shares the same 44 x 15mm case proportions as the rest of the SpidoLite II family and shares a similar look with a two-piece skeletonised dial, sub seconds at nine, and a date display at three. What sets the new Tech models apart is their high tech case construction, which is comprised of an inner case made of ALW (Alloy Linde Werdelin) and an outer case fashioned from forged carbon fibre. ALW is an metal alloy that Linde Werdelin reports to be 50% lighte

Planet Ocean GMT (Dial Choices)
I'm a big fan of this watch personally, but I know some are not. Some of the contention is related to the color scheme (blue w/ orange), others just have an issue with the GMT bezel because it's not a true dive watch. As you know, the only dial option now is the Good Planet blue dial w/ orange accents on the bezel, however the other dial choices below will be available soon. Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on the other dial choices...1) Black w/ Orange Number 2) Blue w/ Orange (Good Planet - Available Now) 3) Black w/ SS Numbers 4) Orange Misc Blue/Orange Bezel Pics (Awesome Watch - IMO):

Used Omega Search
Can anyone give me some good sites for finding used Omega's? Looking for a chronograph speedmaster used.

5167 or FP Journe Chronometre Bleu?
I have a 5712A, no date Sub and expect to add a white DaytonaC soon. Looking to add a 4th piece and deciding between Chronomtre Bleu and 5167A. Price is close enough that it isn’t a big factor, although 5167 is cheaper. I am led to believe I could get either watch from AD within a few months.I like both watches a lot, but probably can only afford to add one at this time.Thoughts on which one to choose considering the other watches in my collection?
