Baselworld 2015: 3 Things to Know About the Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon (Updated with Live Photos)
At Baselworld 2015, Arnold & Son introduced the Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon. From what we’ve seen, there are already signs that it will give watch enthusiasts more than a couple of things to talk about.Arnold & Son has been the center of many conversations over the last few years. It's a small brand that shares space and personnel with the movement maker Manufacture La Joux-Perret. But that manufacturing know-how has led to some impressive watches. The Constant Force Tourbillon looks to be another piece that will have people talking. So here's what you need to know in order to jump in the conversation.1. The watch adopts one solution to the problem of constant force.Constant force is a kind of grail for watchmakers: it's the dream of an escapement that keeps perfectly even time. It deals with a lasting problem that all mechanical watches face: if a watch is powered by the energy of a wound-up mainspring, how can you keep the release of that energy perfectly

OBSERVATIONS: Omega PO8500 vs 116610 Sub C
I recently acquired two PO8500s and also own a Sub C and DSSD. When comparing the PO8500 Ceramic head-to-head against the 116610LV Submariner I have observed the following with regard to the overall quality, performance and value...CASE AND CASE FINISH = TIEThe case finishing on both watches is excellent. The Omega does shine in two distinct areas. First, the sides of the case are brushed (which I love). When handling my watches, it is always the sides of the case that pick up the most fingerprints and hairline scratches. By horizontally brushing these surfaces, the Omega PO feels like a serious diving tool. Second, I really like the huge 45 degree chamfers on the case lugs, which give the watch great proportions and are also less likely to be dinged or dented if the watch is subjected to serious use/abuse. I do, however, prefer the darker gray appearance of the 904L case/bracelet as well as the pronounced crown guards of the Submariner case. The Submariner case is also quite a bit th

Seriously -- Does ANYONE own/wear a....
Fairly new Double Eagle Constellation two-tone? Just wondering.....I hear no chatter about this watch. What, was it a big DUDE from Omega?

3293 and 3796 -- size and appearance? (5196 too)
Hi all,Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been researching Calatravas recently, and am getting interested in three models in particular -- the 5196, 3796, and 3923. But before I take the plunge, I want to get a feel for how they fit. I plan on trying on a 5196 in an AD soon, but wanted to ask if anyone here can comment on the size of the 3796 and/or the 3293, particularly with how they wear on the wrist. My collection is mostly Rolex and Omega, between 34 (vintage) and 42mm, so I'm used to more contemporarily-sized pieces. For what it's worth, I have a 6.5 wrist. Basically, I'm wondering how either the 3796 or 3293 would look, if they come across as very small, or wear larger than they are.Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide some input!

Just strayed from Rolex for the first time. I love this watch. Haven't worn my normal daily DSSD for a month. I got White Gold so as not to be too flashy in corp environment plus working on .gov contracts in sales. Not sure I would have gone yellow gold anyway now that I have some wrist time on it. Was between this and a skydweller, possibly Aquanaut. Stock photo because I don't want to deal with image upload site. Who else has one and any issues to look out for? Watch just came out of warranty. Thanks
