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

Cartier has replaced traditional metallic springs with fiberglass springs
Cartier has replaced traditional metallic springs with fiberglass springs, a horological first. Replacing the traditional metal alloys inside the barrel eliminates at least two problems that for centuries have been plaguing all mechanical watches: the uneven torque (from high to low as the spring unwinds) and energy-sapping friction between spring and barrel.

Blnr or sd43?
Tough call

Datejust 2 Power reserve

Got my 16200 back from Rolex service... and it's super-broken :(
Really disappointing. I got it back two weeks ago and wore it virtually 24/7 without issue. I was amazed at the condition they sent it back in (it looked brand new).I was sick this past weekend, so it sat on my nightstand, which meant it needed a re-wind this morning.At around 2pm I noticed the date was off; it had jumped ahead a day. No biggie, I'll just wind it back, I thought. As I wound it back, the date switched at 7:55pm, rather than ~12:00! Uh oh. It also slowly crawled the date backwards, then snapped, as I wound the time over a two-hour span, rather than just snapping at a specific time. It was then that I realized the watch is actually running super-slow. I've lost approximately two hours since this morning (it was reading 12pm when it was actually 2pm).I called them and now I have to send it back.It's awfully disappointing to get a watch back from the official Rolex service after six weeks only for it to have these issues, especially after paying $1K to get it fully serviced
