Tokyo Street LED Scope Watch Targets Time
The Japanese seem hell bent on devising new ways of telling the time. Countless experimental watches both novel and down right silly have been released over the years with an alternative to the traditional dial or digital approach to telling the time. Lots of them have you counting dots or lines, and doing some formula in your head to tell the time. I admit that many of them have looked pretty cool, I'd nay choose them as a device for chronometric measurement.The two biggest purveyors of such novelty watches are Tokyo Flash and Tokyo Street. I doubt that the name similarity is a coincidence, but they are separate companies as far as I can tell. While most of these watches succeed in creating visual interest, few are particularly useful in my humble opinion. Once in a while they come out with something that I might actually use, and the Tokyo Street LEC Scope watch is one of them.Looking at the watch you can see two perpendicular lines that intersect on a X/Y axis.

The "It's Good To Be King Watch:" Backes & Strauss Berkeley Diamond Watch
Ah...back way before you were even a sprinkle of DNA in your ancestors' gene pool, Backes and Strauss was supplying the world with precious precious diamonds. This was in 1789, when I hear diamonds were still cut using dinosaur teeth, or something similar.

There is bling-worthy, and then there is top-of-the-heap classy that will get even royalty to take notice of the not so small fortune on your wrist. This is where the Backes and Strauss watches come in.The Franck Muller Group -owned Backes and Strauss watch division has a mission that seems pretty simple. In my own words; make really nice, well designed watches, that are prohibitively expensive, with lots of diamonds. Despite this lofty ambition and young nature as a watch maker, they are succeeding. My favorite among their growing line, is the Men's Berkeley watch. And what

Off to the spa...
Well ye olde hair spring broke on my 15300...only 3 years since the last movement service. Long enough to be out of warranty. Only choice is a full service...I also opted for a case refinishing. It will be the second as I bought the Watch pre-owned.Afraid I didn't take any before pics. But truth be told, there were only some small dents on the bezel edge and scuffs on the case chamfers and one lug hole. Bracelet had a few scuffs on the brush marks as well. The watch maker gave no warnings of refinishing dangers...So, I figured YOLO...It will be nice to have a new watch in 11 weeks or so!

Help with Speedmaster Purchase
I'm thinking of buying a Speedmaster , there are so many models I thought I'd asked the experts before taking the plunge.
