Dive Watch Wednesday: Two Swiss-Made, Affordable Dive Watches That Got Better Over Time
Tissot and Certina are Swiss brands, both part of the Swatch Group, that currently offer mechanical dive watch models priced below $1,000 �� the Tissot Seastar 1000 and?Certina DS Action Diver. These watches also have something else in common: both were improved shortly after their launch, which makes them an even more attractive option to those in search of an affordable Swiss made dive watch.The 43-mm Certina DS Action Diver was first introduced at Baselworld in 2011 in stainless steel (Ref. C013.407.11.051.00) and titanium (Ref. C013.407.44.081.00). A 45-mm chronograph version followed in 2012 (Ref. C013.427.11.051.00), and a blue-dial version in 2013 (Ref. C013.407.11.041.00). All models offer 200-meter water resistance and a bezel inlay made of sapphire crystal?covered with a transparent layer (epoxy resin). They are either powered by an ETA 2824-2 or ETA 7753 movement and are available with either a rubber strap or metal bracelet. (Considering the price difference, we recommend go

de GRISOGONO Power Breaker Chronograph N08 Watch Available On James List
In my opinion de GRISOGONO is a pretty interesting and yet under represented brand (at least in the US). I am not familiar with their entire collection, but some of the stuff is interesting. A watch that epitomizes their sport piece collection is the oddly named "Power Breaker." In gold, it has a name that sounds like a piece of construction equipment. That or a WWE wrestler.A lot of this stuff just slips through the cracks. This "N08" Power Breaker Chronograph watch actually came out last year. In 18k rose gold, the case issquarish and so GRISOGONO. What does de GRISOGONO even mean? I love the watch strap. Looks like part of a Stillsuit the "Fremen" wore on Arrakis in Dune. You fellow nerds know exactly what I am talking about. Though I could easily like without the "Power Breaker" logo on the side of the rubber strap. Sounds like something that would be applied in purple lightning graphics on the side of a souped-up Dodge Ram pickup truck.Wait a minute, de GRISOGONO is thinking along

Ignorance is Bliss
My situation is history so I am needing input to prevent this from happening in the future. I buy a Rolex and wear it happily for approx. 10 years. Send it to N.Y. for service. Hands are tarnished, so is Dial. Bracelet is stretched. I ask them to get it lookin good again, which they did. Wear it happily for approx. 7 more years. Send it to N.Y. for service again. Needs a few items as before. Watch looks great. I am Happy. The watch is now 50 years old. I realize I have paid Rolex not once but Twice to remove Vintage parts and replace with new. I now have a Vintage Nothing. This was all my doing. How long has Rolex been loading my Gun so I can Shoot myself in the foot? I ain't Easy being Me !
