Watches and F1: The Schumacher Omega Speedmasters
The Omega Speedmaster is perhaps the greatest icon in the watchmaking world. For over 50 years, the Speedy has been the gold standard by which all high-end chronos are measured, and the history of the line can fill volumes (in fact we have: check out our series on the history of the Speedmaster here). However, for all that game-changing, moon landing history, and the dizzying array of variants, there's one line of Speedmasters that always seems to fall by the wayside somewhat: the Speedmaster Schumacher. It's easy to forget with the NASA heritage and the Moonwatch designation (which, even as a racing fan, I can't argue, is the coolest distinction ever awarded to a timepiece) that the Speedmaster line was designed as a racer's watch, and the Schumacher Speedys take that to the nth degree by partnering with the man who, by the numbers at least, is the single greatest racing driver of all time- Michael Schumacher.Now, I grew up watching Michael dominate the championship again and again wi

My Titanium SMP 300M Chrono Diver
Back in March 7th of this year, I traded in my used (6 months old) titanium SMP 300M Chronometer [2231.50] black waved dial for a new titanium SMP 300M Chronograph black dial with sword hands [2293.52] at Tourneau, NV.Here is a quick comparison: SMP 300M [2231.50] - bullet-proof movement (1120)- low profile thickness- extremely light and very comfortable to wear- perfect weight proportion of case & bracelet- +4 seconds advancement daily- tends to scratches easily SMP 300M Chrono [2293.52] - complicated movement (3301)- case is slightly thicker- still quite light compared to SS model and also very comfortable to wear- great weight proportion of case & bracelet (slightly wider)- +1 second advancement daily- great scratch resistanceWell, after a 24/7 wear period of over two months, the inevitable had occurred. The chronograph feature had quit functioning; however, it still obtains great timekeeping as expected.As I have read many horrid stories about Tourneau experience, I on the

SubC hacking question
I have not been able to find any topics on that and I know this might be a stupid question buy could some one smarter than me tell me if the following action damages my movement?When I pull the crown out on my 114060 to set the time I usually try to hack it at 12:00. But from time to time when I pull the crown out, it hacks at 11:58 for instance. What I do is I give it a l gentle push back in just a bit till tension to get the second hand moving again (not all the way till click) just to adjust those 2 seconds and let it go at 12:00. Does that do any harm to a movement or is it allowed to do it like that?

Size matters
Hi AllLong time lurker on the forum, I am the proud 116400 GV and am at the point where I am itching for another addition to my collection (if one watch can garner the title of a collection.One of the things I really like about the Milgauss is it weight without being monstrous on the wrist. I believe this is primarily a result of the faraday cage? I was wondering if there are any rolex's that are heavier than others in the stainless steel range (I feel I am a bit young for anything PM). I feel like the SS skydweller may fit this niche, however I refuse to pay ��6000 over rrp on the grey market. I am in no massive rush so can wait it out and see (unlikely) if I can pick one up at an AD. However interested as to any other potential options (as trying stainless steel sport watches on in the UK at the minute is in itself a challenge!)Thanks in advance
