Martin Braun Grande Chrono Watch Available On James List
Watch maker Martin Braun recently announced that he is going to go independent from the Franck Muller Group (who are financially in horrid shape right now). Why is Martin able to do this? Because his watches are popular enough and also a good value. Not sure about the minor details about his going independent, but is certainly happening, and the new batch of watches are coming out in about 6 months from now. I had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Braun personally once. He is a nice guy and really into watch making. Has a good eye for detail, and is more of an artist and technician than business man in my opinion (a good thing).Most all of his watches are good to own. You might like some more than others, but here is a nicely designed good value timepiece that reminds me of a more refined Montblanc timepiece. Funny how both Martin Braun and Montblanc are often appreciated to "MB." This is the steel and black version of the Brand Chrono watch.? It is 42mm wide and has a Swiss ETA Valjoux

Two Tone 'Tudes!!
I am curious about the attitudes towards Rolex two tone watches. Seems like most shy away from them in favor of Stainless. I have one, an older 16013 which I like a lot. This year I'll be picking up a second in the form of a CHNR. Some times I see Rolex TT models selling at ADs for less than their stainless counter parts on the secondary market. I know I could have purchase a TT Daytona for less than my stainless 116500. Baffling to me.

What are "fat spring bars"?
I need to obtain an aftermarket bracelet and the description of the one I am looking at is for a Submariner with fat spring bars. Are there different type spring bars? My end links are 593 end links on a 168000 Submariner.Additionally, I'd like to get a jubilee bracelet for this same watch. Which style end links will fit the case properly and work with a jubilee bracelet?Thanks.

Removing the SubC Oyster Bracelet
I have a question about removing the oyster bracelet on my SubC. Specifically it has to do with the glidelock clasp. I already have the Bergeron 7825 tweezer tool, so removing the endlinks is easy. But I'd like to separate the bracelet at the clasp into 2pieces before removing the endlinks WITHOUT unscrewing a link. On my Explorer with easy link I could do this by removing the micro adjustment springbar inside the clasp. I can't tell if I can do the same thing on the glidelock though. Does the glidelock come apart easily?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
