Richard Mille RM 011 RED TPT Quartz Watch
The famed Richard Mille RM 011 watch gets yet another limited edition version, this time using a stunningly bold, red "TPT quartz" case for the Richard Mille RM 011 RED TPT Quartz watch. What is TPT quartz? It is a quartz mineral and carbon compound produced by NTPT for mostly boating and racing needs. Richard Mille has worked with the company to develop how they can use the interesting material for watch cases. Richard Mille first introduced a TPT quartz cased-watch earlier in 2015 with the also limited edition RM 27-02 TPT Quartz Rafael Nadal watch.The Richard Mille RM 011 Red TPT Quartz employs a red-colored TPT quartz material paired with another interesting material which is NTPT carbon. These materials together make the case of the watch. watches-dealer went hands-on with the first Richard Mille NTPT watch here which was the RM 35-01 Rafael Nadal. From boating and racing to tennis...Nevertheless,?the Richard Mille RM 011 "Felipe Massa" watch collection has always been about racin

Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Chronograph ETNZ Watch For 2015 America's Cup
For 2015,?Omega releases a new version of their Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Chronograph with another model in celebration of their sponsorship of the America's Cup ETNZ team (Emirates Team New Zealand). A revised version of an existing model, this Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Chronograph ETNZ has a refreshed dial that is a bit more "nautical," a titanium case, and a new rubber strap which has black on the outside and red on the inside. All the black/gray tones along with red are in honor of the ETNZ racing yacht colors.In 2013, watches-dealer joined Omega in San Francisco to hear more about their partnership with ETNZ in anticipation of that year's America's Cup, where I went hands-on with that year's Seamaster Diver 300M ETNZ Limited Edition watch (which I really liked). Actually, it does not appear as though this 2015 Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Chronograph ETNZ watch is a limited edition - even though it is technically a continuation of the earlier model series.Whil

Android Wear Smartwatch Dial Designs Explode With Creativity & Variety
The exciting thing about smartwatches is that most smartwatch operating systems now available offer users the ability to not only change their watch faces, but to also upload customized ones. A website called FaceRepowatches-dealer (Face Repository) is one of several places where people can browse free watch dial faces (and later paid ones, I am sure) for Android Wear-based smartwatches like the Moto 360, Samsung Gear, LG G, and many other upcoming Android Wear operating system-based devices. While the operating system does come with a few watch dials, the beauty for wearers is the amazing customization features that they offer.Even though smartwatch adoption is still very limited among consumers, I was thrilled to see the incredible variety as well as creativity that you'll find on FaceRepo when it comes to the user-generated watch Android Wear smartwatch dials available for free download. What immediately came to mind was a time, perhaps a decade or more ago, when mobile phones began

Breitling USA - Great service
A month ago I found my Breitling Colt Chronograph II dead in my watch locker. For those of you who don't know this watch is a Super Quartz movement. It's very accurate. I use this piece to set all my other watches. I found it dead when I went to set a watch. Anyway, I took it to the AD. I couldn't remeber when I bought it but I knew it wasn't that old. The AD checked with Breitling and sure enough it was 2 years and 4 weeks old. That's four weeks past the warranty. I was going to have the AD replace the battery, gaskets, preasure check it and be done. But the AD suggested I send it to Breitling USA. Saying that they could end up fixing the watch free because it was so close to the warranty. The AD sent it to them and it came back yesterday. Sure enough BUSA fixed it and did a full service, plus they polished and brushed the surfaces. The watch runs and looks great. I can't be happier.Great service like that is why I go with a particular company and in this case I am very happy. Good Jo
