Dent Ministry Chronograph Watch
I haven't covered the watch brand Dent in quite some time, but wanted to bring your attention to this attractive chronograph model made by the brand whose name goes back to the maker of London's Big Ben clock. This piece is called the Dent Ministry Chronograph, and while not a totally original design, is very well-proportioned and attractive.The Ministry is a larger range collection for the brand with at least three different model types. The chronograph model has a 43mm wide case with a thick sloped bezel and case. There are rings engraved into the side of the case to help reduce visual mass, and the square chronograph pushers help even out the look.The Ministry Chronograph dial is almost minimalist, but in a very elegant way. The design is good, offering key elements of style without going overboard. The dials of course are inspired by classic Dent pocket watches. This is essentially a sport watch in a sport jacket. The large, legible dial nevertheless has applied Roman numerals and

HourTime Show Watch Podcast Episode 93 - The Appendix of the Watch World
John goes out of his way to embarrass Ariel - he needs a girlfriend from the Ukraine. More on SIHH - we talk about Richard Mille RM 056 Sapphire crystal-cased watch (1,000 hours to machine each case) how much it costs, and how a slew of virgins must somehow be involved in that kind of pricing. More from the show and the completely unnecessary pain and loneliness that the watch industry and conventions in Switzerland can inflict. We also talk about more reasonable watches like new stuff from Hamilton (a slide-rule complication that's useful - John disagrees) - X-Patrol!New version of the Konstantin Chaykin Lunokhod is a topic - Ariel thinks it's better than the one he wrote about earlier.An awkwardly-placed ad/event announcement appears in the middle of the show. John insists that James Bond is not a real person, and the Zombie Apocalypse preparation begins.Listen to the HourTime Show watch podcast episode 93 here.

Omega Seamaster Professional Vancouver 2010 Olympics Watch
There is nothing wild about this limited edition Omega watch, and frankly that is the way I like my Omega limited edition watches. Nothing too avant garde, just a good sober looking timepiece with a nice theme. Omega is pretty much obligated to release limited edition watches for the Olympics. First, they are the official timekeeper for the Olympics (since 1932). Wouldn't it look silly if they didn't celebrate that fact every two years? Second, it is pretty much the type of marketing occasion you'd be an idiot to miss out on. For the 2008 Summer Olympics they released this really cool limited edition Speedmaster based watch, for 2010 it is back to the Seamaster for inspiration. The result is something impressively on par with the visuals in my mind when I think of the winter Olympics.In 2010, you'll find Vancouver Canada overrun with Olympians, their coaches, and fans of course. For me, it will be days of background noise on TV. While the games themselves only interest me offhandedly,

New 3120 Movement for 15400 - Concerns with Winding
Just sent my 15400 in for servicing because the date got stuck and the watch is dead. Service centre changed the movement to a new one.Now I found that when I wind it, after one or two rotations of the crown, I can sense and hear a Tsk sound each time. ( as though the spring slipped)Checked with the service centre and they say it is normal. I am not convince so would like seek some advice from experts here if anyone experienced this, and if all the new 3120 movements have this unique sensation.Please advise. Thanks

The 20k USD GMT II
Hi allGiven the current state of things with those impossible waiting lists and growing frustration from buyers it still amazes me that Rolex wont increase the price of the GMT massively to curb demand. Cant offer any detailed sensitivity study on it but id say 20k USD for the new Pepsi and they'd still be able to sell them all while not making it insanely hard and annoying to procure.What do you think? Would a pricelist of 20k put you off from buying a Pepsi?
