Eberhard & Co Contograf Watch: Modern Vintage
With brands either digging into their back catalog or creating new watches with no prior references, there is?no shortage of watches being introduced as of late that hearken back to earlier eras. This means, for the modern watch enthusiast, that you can find a modern timepiece (with all its attendant quality, materials, and accuracy) that references (or even looks identical) to a watch from the era that you find yourself drawn to. In other words, you can go "vintage" without worrying about having to baby the piece. If 1960s sport watches are your thing, then Eberhard & Co has your ticket.The original Contograf was introduced in 1960, and its 2014 counterpart certainly carries forth the look. One of the more intriguing elements that they carried forth from the original can be found on the chronograph minutes register found over at 3 o'clock. It has bolder markings at the 3, 6, and 9 minute marks. This was put in place for timing phone calls - not something you'll use these days, I d

Royal Oak as daily and only watch?
What are you opinions on the Royal Oak for an everyday/only watch? I've heard the bezel is prone to scratches. Do any of you wear your RO everyday or is this a special occasion type watch? I'm thinking about swapping out my sub for a 15450 within the next month or so.

Thinking about buying an Omega Speedmaster. Don't know much need advice.
Hey all, I'm looking at buying a used Omega Speedmaster caliber 1140 from a private owner here in Toronto. The watch doesn't come with box or papers and hasn't been serviced for 3-4 years. The owner wants $1250 for it which seems like a pretty good deal. I've done some research on the watch itself (the movement and caliber) and am skeptical about the chrono module because apparently it cannot be serviced, only replaced. So let me know what you guys think in regards to the price and this specific model of Speedmaster.

My latest and greatest "INCOMING" thread WHOOP WHOOP!

I'm pretty smitten with it right now but bummed that I can't wear it until I get the bracelet resized but I'll manageHere are some wrist shots for ya... And here's an out of focus (sorry) show with my other child, my Datejust IIBig thanks to DAVIDSW for facilitating this transaction. I made a trade and literally two days later the SD43 was in my hands. Could not be happier!

Advice needed.
I need your advice on here, I want to either buy a Rolex Datejust 116234 or and Explorer 2 16570. I can only afford the one watch, but like both very much. The Datejust will obviously be the newer watch out of the two, but the Explorer will properly gain value better.
