In-Depth: Introducing The Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic 1958 (Live Photos, Full Specs, Official Pricing
I get a lot of joy out of writing about new releases, but only those that I think are really well done. Frankly, it’s not often I can say that a brand new watch is offering you ( / me / us) a whole lot, but today, with this new Jaeger-LeCoultre, I can it say it and mean it. You’re looking at the new JLC Geophysic 1958 family. This 38.5mm watch will be available in stainless steel, rose gold, and platinum (all in limited numbers), features a heaping dose of vintage inspiration, and offers a lot of technology we want in a cutting edge piece of modern horology. Allow me to go into great detail on this one, because I think it’s worth it. The History of the (Original) JLC Geophysic 2 OF 42 Originally created back in 1958, the Geophysic celebrated two distinct events. The first was the 125th anniversary of the manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre and the second was the world’s first "International Geophysical Year." This was an effort put forth

Spoke with my favorite dealer on the phone and . . .
he had some interesting info for me.As has been reported, Omega is increasing the MSRP of the Speedmaster Professional line of watches. This will be in the range of $500-$600 to cover the cost of the new box and goodies:Always thinking ahead, my dealer has greatly increased his inventory of Speedy Pros in their various flavors. These he will make available at the current MSRP but when they are gone, there will be no more.Don't know about you but I wear the watch and not the box. No way I am going to spend that kind of money on packaging. I've even put a couple of my special Omega boxes (one mahogany and one leather) on the market. They were just taking up space in the closet.He also mentioned that he still had a few of the Gen I, cal 2500 Planet Oceans in stock. I am now awaiting arrival of my BNIB, 42mm, cal. 2500D, Planet Ocean. (It may become a safe queen.)

Considering parting from my Omega SMP Chrono
I'm considering parting with my Omega SMP Chrono as I've falled in love again with the first chrono that I actually liked and that is the Breitling Chrono Avenger.I know the pros on the Omega is that it has pushers that can work under water, build like a tank, comfy bracelet. Cons, I find that the sub dials are harder to read at a glance.Pros on Chrono Avenger: Light Titanium case, bezel is solid titanium hence no insert to scratch, dial easier to read at a glance, bracelet comfy as hell.Has anyone owned both watches at one time to give me their 0.2 cents?

Getting a Patek, too many choices
Seeking to fill out my third slot on my watchbox. After nights of some research, i decided to probably buying a Patek. There are way too many choices from gold, white gold to SS, and its really hard to make decision. I mean they all beautiful and gorgeous. As i decided and after gain permission from my wife, i am allowed to get one Patek. ( Of course i told her only one ) My Patek watch requirement as below.- 39-41mm- Prefer gold, SS will do just fine- Budget 30k to 40k- Not a fan of Nautilus- Wearing casual most the time- Used or New doesn't matter- Doesn't like Chronograph( Sorry not a fan of Daytona )Buying a Patek is way harder than a Rolex. Please give some advice. Thank you

Pointless question
Just a pointless question that's been buzzing around in my head the last few days. Does anyone know how many parts make up a modern sub or gmt. I've been having a bit of a argument with my son. I recon about 120 inc all jewels and screws. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
