Welcome to the new Watchtime.com!
If you have been to this site before, you may have noticed some significant differences this week. Yes, has undergone a major facelift, with numerous upgrades that we feel will make it more useful, informative, interactive, and user-friendly. As those of you who read the print edition of WatchTime may already know, I have taken the reins of WatchTime’s online and multimedia editorial initiatives after five years as managing editor of the print magazine. Mike Disher, our former online editor, who blazed many of the electronic trails that I am now traveling, has moved over to the print side as our technical editor.The revamped website is the result of a major team effort, with input from myself and Mike; our WatchTime editorial, sales, and marketing teams, particularly editor-in-chief and associate publisher Joe Thompson; my right-hand guy and social media guru Jason Francisco; new managing director Dominik Grau; our German counterparts at WatchTime.net, the online component of ou

Why does Omega keep changing their watch designs?
Except for the Speedy, I've noticed all Omega models go through dozens of never-ending iterations. When the Skyfall AT came out, I loved it as it was an amazing design. When I was ready to pull the trigger, they announced the master co-axial, removed the date window, and polished the center links.When I started to like that version, I now see they changed the date to be at 6 o clock and with a horizontal teak dial instead of vertical.This drives me crazy! Why can't they just stick to one design and make it a classic? Not to mention all of the one-off limited editions floating around in the market.I get that they want to keep things fresh, but I don't want to buy a watch from them if it's going to get outdated the next year.For the record, I don't have a Speedy because my wrist is terribly small for it, otherwise I'd be all over it.

GMTII quickset date changing at 10-11pm
On my 116710 (purchased new in Dec 2017), if I move the quickset hour hand back and forth a few times between 9 and 11, the date will advance at 10 or 11. If I move it slowly and deliberately one hour at a time, it doesn’t. Anyone else experienced this with a 3186? Should I send it in? No issues otherwise, it keeps near perfect time, and the date changes normally around midnight with the crown screwed down.

Certificate Card Invalid
Hi everyone, It has been about 1.5 years I bought my explorer ii V series 16570 from its first owner. So it has the name of the first owner written on it. Yesterday I wanted to find a way to get rid of that name on the card and write mine instead. Since it was written with permanent marker I thought it would be easy to delete it with acetone. But after a very little attempt it has been worn of and I saw it was typed invalid under the sticker. Then, I read on some forums that this is one way of protection Rolex does for not to transfer the warranty of the watch to second or later users..So, my question is, is the certificate invalid from now on? If yes, what can I do?Thanks everyone..
