Jaeger-LeCoultre Celebrates 100 Years of Aston-Martin with Three New Watches
In a stroke of serendipity, 2013 marks both the 180th anniversary of Swiss watch brand Jaeger-LeCoultre and the 100th anniversary of British luxury automaker Aston-Martin, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s partner for nearly a decade in the development of special, luxury-auto-inspired timepieces.The new timepieces comprise two from JLC’s Master collection, the Master Compressor Extreme W-Alarm and Master Hometime; and one from the AMVOX collection, the AMVOX5 World Chronograph Cermet, which marks the debut of a new case material.The Master Compressor Extreme W-Alarm Aston Martin combines a world-time display with a mechanical alarm function.

The replacement has to be a Royal Oak for me because it is what got me interested in horology in the first place. Also versatility is not a concern for me as this will be in rotation with a other watches. Thanks in advance!

Right in time for Christmas! Vintage Omega Seamaster
Needs an overhaul, but I like it. Every time I pull out the crown to try setting the time, the second hand goes crazy and haywire. Quite dusty and gunky:Movement is rough:This is the part that keeps spinning when I set the time, I don't think that's normal.
