Weiss Watch Company Standard Issue Field Review
American-made watches are sort of a conceptual grail to many of us state-side collectors. Once upon a time the US was a major player in the watch industry…something we all know. Hamilton, Bulova, Gruen and Elgin, to name a few, were all serious contenders who were capable of manufacturing everything from movements to cases right here in the US. They also used Swiss parts and manufacturing, but each brand had a solid core in America, spread out from Brooklyn, NY to Columbus, Ohio.But it was lost, and to many forgotten. Now, with the revitalization of American manufacturing, and the growing popularity of analog watches, brands are coming back, slowly reshaping the industry. Famously, there is RGM in Lancaster, PA, who are the only true watch manufacture (make their own movements, including a tourbillon) on US soil. Then you have Kobold, who make their own tough-as-nails cases and modify movements, also in PA. You then have a few brands that make over seas and assemble here, such as

Huge Omega fan about to buy a Rolex...
Hello all,Here are my 2 Omegas. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1370810644.453751.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1370810655.286410.jpgThe Seamaster was a 21st birthday present from my mum and dad. I have worn in 24/7 365 days a year ever since. The De Ville is circa 1980 around the time I was born. I really love the simplicity of this watch. As much as I love my Seamaster and will keep it forever I have always dreamed over owning a Rolex Submariner. Well my 30th birthday is coming up soon so I feel the time is right to treat myself. I have mixed emotions really. I'm very excited to get the Sub on my wrist however the Omega has been my daily watch for 9 years and has never put a foot wrong!

I know I will be in the minority but, after trying on the DJ41 I was left a little underwhelmed.For me I prefer the size of the DJ2, this may be due to it being a little thicker like my beloved Milguass, coupled with the stunning blue azzurro/roman dial.Would I be right in assuming that there would be plenty of these models still in their displays and, with this in mind, do you think I could obtain a good discount? - So far I have been offered 5% bringing the price down to ��4988.

GMT 16710 purchase decision. Can you help me?
Sorry if this has been addressed already, couldn't find a thread in the search box. I have the opportunity to buy a 16710 (mid 90s) for 7k, watch only with a local jewelers appraisal. Not sure what to do, seems a bit high and also wondering, with all the speculation surrounding a possible unveiling at Baselworld of a new GMT 'coke' next week, if indeed a SS coke is presented, do you think it will affect the prices of these 5 digits 16710? Am I paying too much for this watch? Have not seen the watch in person but it's on oyster and I am pretty sure it has been polished in the past although from the pictures the seller sent me, it does not look overly done. Any insight would be greatly appreciated
