Retro Modern IWC And Porsche Design Watches, Still Modern Looking
Impressive watch giant IWC and Porsche Design used to get together for watch making fun. IWC manufactured the watches, and Porsche Design, well, designed them. Now IWC has enough watches in its line (not that is was ever a thin line), and Eterna takes charge of making Porsche Designs' watches. Regardless, some of these watches are still made, and good deal of them from about 15-30 years ago are still around, highly collectible, and very cool.One wonderful example of this perfect relationship is the IWC Porsche Design Ref. 3551. A watch released years ago, but looking a modern as can be, this is one of the most modern and minimalist implementations of a moonphase complication. Nicely legible, with the moonphase on the top of the central cross hair design, the watch houses an ETA mechanical movement, and a little secret.Open the case upwards and the watch reveals an analog compass located underneath. A designer somewhere thought this was a very cool idea. And sure, flipping your watch up

1861 how to sync seconds
Tried backwind on this movement but I can't get the second hand to stop It's not essential but I can't understand why I can't get it to stop It's a new FOIS and therefore 1861 movement

I am in the market for a Omega Speedmaster Automatic #3510.50
I really like the Reduced 38mm size because I have very skinny wrists. I have about $1000 saved up for my next watch (I was saving for a 16610 sub) but i got the itch for a OMega. I love watches but my collection consists of 4 watches right now a MOvado Sport, a Rado Jubilee, a Buam n mercier Capeland S, and a Rolex Datejust. I think the speedmaster would be aq nice addition to my collection and was looking around at E-bay and found alot of japan sellers selling Omega. Has anyone bought a omega off ebay from Japan?What should I expect to pay for Omega Speedmaster Automatic #3510.50 in mint condition with box and papers and one without box and papers?I belive that this watch is no longer produced so what years was this watch produced? What should I expect to pay for service to service this watch when I get it , and how often does it need to be serviced. Thank you for all your help.

Hi,Any one own this Omega? It has caught my eye and I am really thinking about buying one. Any problems with this model as well? Thanks for your input.

Is this a good trade? Ceramic Daytona + BLNR + $3K for Patek 5205
I had to move this over here from the Rolex forum to hear your opinions. My brand new white ceramic Daytona + 6 month old BLNR + $3K, for a heavily polished Patek 5205g on tang?
