The Limes Endurance Leviathan Dive Watch
German watchmaker Limes has announced a new addition to their Endurance sport watch range. Featuring a 44.5 mm stainless steel case, the Leviathan offers a chance for buyers to up size their order compared to the 41mm Limes Neptune 2 diver. The Leviathan's Ickler-made case is 13.5mm thick and features a sapphire crystal and a unidirectional dive PVD-plated black bezel. The dial design is simple, legible and one that I really like.Limes is part of the Ickler family of brands which is also home to Archimedes, Autran & Viala, and Defacto. Ickler is a case manufacturer that is based in Germany and makes some very nice cases in a wide range of styles. Not only does the Endurance Leviathan offer a larger alternative for the Limes brand, the Leviathan is also larger than what Archimedes features in their lovely 41.5mm SportTaucher 300m diver. So if you really wanted a big diver with an Ickler case, the Leviathan looks like a good choiceThe Leviathan is powered by a Sellita SW 200 automati

Lost a pusher on my late 1960s pre-moon speedmaster... what to do?
Soo just this week I acquired a late 60s pre-moon speedmaster in fairly good shape that I have fallen in love with. While walking around downtown this week I stopped to check the time on my watch and much to my dismay the top (start / stop) pusher on the speedy was gone. I looked around but could not find it anywhere.I've checked online and see that I can source the part for fairly cheap (its a 145.022) from ofrei. However, I am afraid I might need other parts or tools to install it (new tube? spring?, etc?). I called some Omega dealers and they suggested it would have to go to Omega / Swatch for a service which will likely run me $800. The watch is not running at factory standars (its losing/gaining 9 seconds a day) so Omega would require me to take a full service.Any thoughts on what options I might have? The watch has not been serviced since 1999 so it is due (though its still keeping decent time). Should I take the plunge and get the full service or is there a band-aid solution tha

5960r day-date-month black on white or white on black?
Looking at used 5960r black on-line and some photos show black background white lettering in the day-date-month aperatures and others show white with black lettering. I know the 5960p has black background but didnt know the 5960r ever had that style. Assuming Patek made both versions is one newer? Also any thoughts on this model from past/present owners?
