UTS 4000M Pacific Horizon Blue Dive Watch
Hand-made German UTS watches are one of those secret tool watch brands that all serious timepiece lovers eventually learn about. Their flagship model range is the 4000M, which now comes with a metallic blue diver as the UTS 4000M Pacific Horizon Blue limited edition dive watch. Produced in Munich, these are some of the most durable timepieces on the planet.Despite its massive water?resistance, the UTS 4000M Pacific Horizon Blue watch does note require a helium release valve, pretty much because it is so darn strong. The sapphire crystal (fully AR coated) is 6mm thick, and UTS uses a special system to hold the crystal in place. Thus, the extra crown on the 4000M watch case is not a helium release valve, but rather a lock to keep the rotating diver's bezel from turning. The bezel further makes use of ceramic ball bearings for the rotation system.UTS produces the cases for each of their watches in Germany, from German steel, and they aren't stamped but rather individually milled.

Magnetized
If my 3120 movement constantly running fast does it mean that the watch is magnetised? If so can I just purchase any swiss made watch magnetizer?

Omega De Ville X2 Small Seconds
Just noticed this on the Omega site, not sure how new it is though. What do you guys think? I normally don't like square watches, but this one I don't mind. It almost reminds me of a Cartier Santos.

Patek Philippe and Rolex comparison
I've heard of people ask about how Rolex can justify the prices they charge.Personally, I really do not think they're overpriced. Sure, you pay for the brand name (which includes marketing, and I read somewhere that Rolex have the biggest marketing budget by far).But a SS Daytona has a retail of around $9,000 compared to say, a Tag Heuer GC around $5,000 (depending on model). IMO the extra $4,000 odd is justified given the in-house movement, bigger brand name etc (some might disagree of course)What about Patek Philippe? How come their watches, even without date, can cost more than any watch Rolex make?I'm not saying Patek Philippe watches are overpriced, but just want to know how a PP justifies that extra money spent. And it's because I plan to buy a Patek Philippe next.Is the way they make watches more labour intensive?Do they use better materials?Or do they just charge more for exclusivity and brand name?
