Junghans Force Mega Solar Watch With Wireless Charge And Sync
Watches that offer both solar power and atomic radio time-syncing, I am willing to bet, call to mind for you, as they do for me, watches that hail from Japanese companies �C and for good reason. Brands such as Casio have really made atomic solar watches a big part of their portfolio, offering a variety of styles. It might come as a bit of a surprise, then, to learn that German Junghans' Force Mega Solar is not a completely new foray for the brand.It was back in 1990 when Junghans came up with their first radio-controlled watch, and just three years later incorporated solar recharging. For their latest iteration, they've got a series of watches that can sync around the world (with American, German, and Japanese transmitters) and offer a 21-month stand-by capability.While these technical chops are interesting (and of course meet the criteria of a quartz watch doing what a mechanical cannot), it is not the only story here. Junghans has created some clean, classic styles with these Junghans

Concord Announces New C1 Chronograph Watch
Concord has updated their C1 Chronograph range with a new look for 2013, and let's just say it looksfamiliar. The new C1 retains the same 44mm footprint as the past models but the design as been massaged to be a bit more reserved, now featuring a slimmer crown, improved legibility, and a more ergonomic and curved case shape.The C1 is powered by Concord's A07 movement which is based on the ETA Valgranges A07.211, a 25 jewel automatic movement with chrono seconds, sub dials for both 30 minutes and 12 hours and a date display - think of it as a Valjoux 7750 for larger watches. The C1's crystal is sapphire and the bezel is made from either titanium or ceramic, depending on the specific model.If you only casually glanced at the photos, would you have guessed Concord? Me neither, as the overall design is distinctively that of an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore. While I would agree with Concord that this new C1 is more attractive than the previous generation, that is because it looks like

Changed things up a bit
Picked up the bracelet for the Speedmaster 9300 to change it up a bit from the black leather strap. Both are such great options for this watch. And I have also come to the conclusion there isn't a better chrono out there and that's coming from a guy named Mr. Daytona too.

Black concentric OP 36 at AD - is this a decent deal?
I wandered into an AD last night, and they had a new OP 36 with the discontinued black concentric dial. This has always been my favorite OP dial. They offered to sell it to me for $4900 (about 9% off MSRP). I'm not sure if this is a decent deal, or it's totally out of line for a discontinued dial? I also want to make sure that the dial is the only difference between this watch and the ones currently in production. Anybody have any insight? Anything else I should be wary of? Thanks in advance.
