Clerc Hydroscaph H1 Watch
Here in the watches-dealer watch dungeon, we are currently putting the new for 2013 Clerc Hydroscaph H1 watch through our rigorous watch testing procedures. So a hands-on review of the H1 will come in due time, but until then we'd like to share the news about this new three-hand version of the Clerc Hydroscaph, which is the H1.There will likely be a few versions of the H1. This is the steel model with a really lovely metallic blue dial. I wouldn't have thought that a bright green trimmed minutes hand would have worked, but it does. The 44mm wide case is typical Hydroscaph with its unique design and patented rotating bezel locking system (that unfolds like a little winding key). The crown design appears to be new and is rather interesting.Inside the watch is a Clerc caliber C609 automatic movement that is a base ETA with special decoration and is partially viewable through two smaller sapphire crystal caseback windows. The movement is COSC Chronometer certified as well. Not necessary re

Rising Moonphases by Frederique Constant and Christopher Ward
I'm a firm believer in the idea that you can't effectively judge anything on numbers alone. Looking only at the statistics of a watch completely ignores the finish, the quality, the experience of a great timepiece that forms the base of this hobby. Two new announcements in recent days help make that point brilliantly. Within the past few days, both Christopher Ward and Frederique Constant have announced plans for a new in-house moonphase movement. Beyond that, both of the upcoming watches are sized at 40mm (with the Frederique Constant just a hair larger at 40.5), both feature sapphire crystals, display backs, and automatic winding. By the numbers, then, the two should be nearly identical, but there are huge differences in C. Ward's and Frederique Constant's approach.First, let's take a look at the Frederique Constant Classics Moonphase Manufacture. The Classics Moonphase Manufacture, powered by the new FC-175 movement, represents the 19th in-house movement from FC, and is lightly modi

I love this watch and want to add one to my collection. Only issue is the bracelet is not my cup of tea. Looks like the only options are the Rubber or Leather, Croc with buckle or clasp.Is there any other options available for a solid end link bracelet that would look well more substantial?

How can 2 different e bay sellers sell the same Omega
These 2 are exactly the same watch. How can this be? Both have great feedba The time and date are the same. Pics are of actual watch for sale. Sellers in different states. ????

Any 511 owners? Pics please!!
I had the opportunity to try a Panerai 511 at the Panerai boutique in Toronto a while back. I think it was about two months ago....well, since then it's been hovering in the brain. That watch impressed me with its simplicity and the gold. Was wondering if any one here on TRF has one. Or, even a gold piece from Panerai. I want to see how the gold on Panerai holds up.
