Junghans Max Bill Anthracite ref 3401 Review
There are few watches on the market today that are as timeless and iconic as those designed by Max Bill for the German watchmaker, Junghans. The Max Bill line is undoubtedly a master class in form and function, and the timepieces sold by Junghans today are largely unchanged from their 60s predecessors. Any new entries into the Max Bill line remain largely true to Bill's original vision.One such entry is the Max Bill Automatic Anthracite (Ref. 3401). Released in 2014, the 3401 is nearly identical to the 3400 model, but repackaged in a bold new color palette. And it's this color palette that sold me on the watch. It might not be pure Bauhaus, but neither was Max Bill.

just bought a 2534.50...need info.
Hello everyoneI am very excited to announce that I just bought a pre-loved Seamaster GMT 50th Anniversary model.I am very pleased with my luck in finding one in great condition and in my choice :)Will share pics in a few days when I have some time.I would like to know more about the watch as there are some things I cannot explain about the watch:1. it does not have the speedy bracelet but the bond one and yet doesnt have either the speedy or the bond clasp, but a diffrent clasp altogether.why is that so and is taht so on any other models seamasters too?2. what is the significance of the '50 years' marking at the back? was a limited edition but then it doesnt have alimited edition number at the back or was a limited production model? if it was only a limited prodduction model, could you help me with when it was generally made aqnd for how long was this model made?thank you in advance for your kind help :)regards,Asad

PO 42mm weight : is it really unbearable ??
Unfortunately my relationship with the amazing IWC Galapagos is not working as expected so I've decided to put it for sale and go back to a more simple watch,just plain steel,time and date.I already own a Sea Dweller,wich I admit it took me quite a bit to get used to it's weight. I'm finely tuned with it now and I barely remember it's there,do you think I may noticed the further weight increase wit the PO (42mm,bracelet) ??A lot of enthusiastic reviews on the web about the PO,but the weight issue is something always mentioned.Wrist test at ADs has been done several times,but you know the feeling...when you are at an AD most of the times emotions take over and everything seems perfect....

DaytonaC in a display window
Today, traveling for business in NYC, I passed a store with a DaytonaC 116500 Black in the window display. I went in to ask: USD 18,000. Take a look at the store, and the display. Is it a real DaytonaC?
