Introducing: The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Chronograph
It was six years ago that Audemars Piguet released their very first ISO certified diver’s watch, the Royal Oak Offshore Diver. Some of you may recall an in-depth review of the this watch conducted by Jason Heaton, our resident diver and contributor. It was here that he tested the capabilities of this cult classic. 1 OF 4 While Jason did find some technical flaws, such as the internal bezel being difficult to use, he found the overall visibility to be optimal. The conclusion? Maybe not the best watch for diving and timing underwater BUT certainly a cool watch and very collectible from a horological standpoint.

Omega Speedmaster 50th anniversary limited edit.
I have become interested in acquiring one of the new Omega 50th anniversary Speedmasters. The Omega site isn't too helpful, and I've seen these watches advertised with a transparent case back as well as some with a solid case back. I've also seen a couple of different crystal materials as well as the two different movements listed. Several sites show the traditional 1861 movement while other sites list the new co-axial movement.Are there really this many variations of this limited edition model?I prefer the 1861 manual movement with a solid case back and a sapphire crystal. Is this variety available?

Automatic vs. hand wound?
Greetings - trying to broaden my horizons and venture into Paneristi land. I previously had my eyes set on a PAM00688 but acted too late to find one. I find myself lusting for the PAM00728. I love that its the smaller case but dont love the hand wound watch winding. any drawbacks to the non-automatic movement? I presume every time I wear this (this will be worn amongst many other pieces - I am a true degenerate!) i will have to wind it? does it wind while wearing if I move my wrist?TIA for all feedback. sorry if its a dumb question. I am used to watch winders for all other pieces.

This dial is very hard to capture
It's not easy to get the brown grainy effect to shows up.
