Eberhard & Co Contograf Watch: Modern Vintage
With brands either digging into their back catalog or creating new watches with no prior references, there is?no shortage of watches being introduced as of late that hearken back to earlier eras. This means, for the modern watch enthusiast, that you can find a modern timepiece (with all its attendant quality, materials, and accuracy) that references (or even looks identical) to a watch from the era that you find yourself drawn to. In other words, you can go "vintage" without worrying about having to baby the piece. If 1960s sport watches are your thing, then Eberhard & Co has your ticket.The original Contograf was introduced in 1960, and its 2014 counterpart certainly carries forth the look. One of the more intriguing elements that they carried forth from the original can be found on the chronograph minutes register found over at 3 o'clock. It has bolder markings at the 3, 6, and 9 minute marks. This was put in place for timing phone calls - not something you'll use these days, I d

Aryta Tesla Squelette Quadri Rotor Watch
Let's talk about weird. There is a good weird, and there is certainly bad weird. Which category any particular "weird" falls into it highly subjective. On most accords this watch is weird. I mean look at it? It is unlike almost everything else out there. A one of a kind creation by Yvan Arpa's Artya brand, this watch belongs to the "Coup de foudre" collection which is an ongoing series of watches that have "lightning struck" cases - hence the "Tesla" part of the name.

These pieces undergo wild transformative effects aided by artists who help engrave and colorize the metal. A lot of the cases that undergo this treatment are unusable, but the ones that survive are pretty interesting. Again, "interesting" if you can follow suit with that type of thing.Artya employs two teams of people in their workshop. One

14060 Bezel Questions
Hey guys, I recently joined the Rolex family after acquiring a 14060 a few months ago. In this brief period of owning the watch, I have broken the diving bezel clip spring. I've actually grown to like the ability to use my bezel in both directions, my question is will there be any issues not having that spring underneath the diving bezel from now on and secondly could I install a GMT clip spring instead.Cheers.
