Kazimon Eintausend 1000m Diver Watch
I've liked the Kazimon Eintausend ever since I first noticed it a while back. With the tons of watches vying for my attention the classy German diver sat by idly waiting for me to notice it once again. Now, after revisiting the Eintausend watch again I am pleased to say that the design still pleases me greatly. What you have in a nutshell is a fashionably designed, well finished, functional diver watch with a good German character and reasonable price. You start with a steel case that is 44mm wide with a 22mm wide metal bracelet. The case has a nice almost satin finish with a good deal of angles mixed with curves and nice technical features. As a diver watch, the style of the dial reminds me a lot of aviator watches. I think the combined style is well done. You can see homages to other popular German "tool" watches in the design for what I feel is a satisfying result.A lot went in to the durability of the watch. The case is 1000 meters water resistant, has shock protection, and is anti

Introducing the Squale Master
Squale came to Basel this year ready to impress. If you're not familiar with the brand, I recommend you check out our review of their Ref 2002 watch. If the look alone of that watch doesn't tell you this brand is different than others, then their rich history will. Squale is one of those brands that everyone ought to know, as they were pioneers in dive watch case manufacturing in the 50's, 60's and 70's, and now continue to make beautiful, original Swiss-made divers, at very accessible prices.The first thing they showed us is a new family of watches, based on a line from the 60's called the Master. These 600m divers have 44mm cases, power reserves, 12 o'clock dates and a cool vintage style. The bezels have to be seen in person to be truly appreciated, but they are made in an anachronistic fashion for a gorgeous outcome. They are essentially bakelite bezels with dimensional steel inlays on top. This is then all sealed in with acrylic (presumably) to create a flat top surface. As with th

Calling all Houston, Tx Owners/ADs
Hey folks, Newbie here... I've been a Panerai guy for the last few years and am getting ready to jump into an AP. I've tried the 42mm ROO's when I was in Vegas a few times and on my 6 wrist, it looked too big. However, now that I'm ready to buy, I want to try it again. I don't think there are any boutiques in Houston but are there are any AD's? I was also hoping to meet some local AP folks that wouldn't mind meeting up for coffee (on me) and educating me a little about on AP and their ownership experience. Anyway, any input is appreciated.Here's an obligatory shot of my past and current Panerais. Pam 48 Pam 183Pam 88Edwin

Rubber strap and buckle question
Hi everyone,I just changed to a rubber strap on my Pam. One I had a hard time removing the screw from the buckle from my leather strap where I was getting the buckle from...just wouldn't pull out after I turned the screw a few times. Is this normal? Also is the buckle screw supposed to have a tube like the screws that go through the case?

Should I sell...
Hello, all:Being that this is Rolexforums, I suspect I already know the answer, but...Would you sell/trade a Tudor Black Bay Noir (ETA) against a new Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT (SBGE001 or 201)?I've been intrigued by the SBGE001 for several years, but I never had the opportunity to see one in person (closest Grand Seiko AD is 4 hours from me). However, back in November, I had tried one on at the NYC Boutique and I can't get it out of my head!I don't necessarily need to sell the BBN to finance, and the BBN has been a great watch. My only complaint is that the bracelet clasp is a bit of a hair puller, but otherwise it's been nearly perfect.The problem is that, in terms of a daily-wear rotation, I am a two-watch guy at most. My other watch is a Speedmaster Professional that will never be sold. Given that the Spring Drive GMT has the same water resistance as my BBN (and could therefore be my default water watch), I think the BBN might be rendered redundant. In fact, I think the SBGE001 c
