Vulcain Aviator Cricket Alarm Watch
The Vulcain Aviator Cricket alarm watch is a variant?of last year's Vulcain Aviator Instrument that boasted a chronograph?but lacked the alarm function. It's a pretty significant feature?for most watches, but for Vulcain, the alarm complication is more than just an additional function: it is the foundation of the brand's longevity.Vulcain was founded way back in 1858 and has been in continuous production ever since. The brand is recognized for having created the alarm function for wristwatches, which earned them favor with former United States president Harry S. Truman, who wore one of their watches and helped inspire the brand's reputation as "the watch for presidents" �C one of the few other brands who pursue that reputation is none other?than Rolex.The Vulcain Aviator Cricket case, which measures 42mm across and 14mm tall, is crafted from polished 316L Stainless Steel. It is a very manageable size for an aviation watch, a feat most likely?achieved by the omission of a self-winding me

Reasonably priced watch service
Hi guys. I am looking for someone that will service a breitling navitimer I'm looking to purchase. The watch appears to be in very good condition, though the current owner says it should be serviced. Anyone know of a good watch smith that can overhaul the movement at a reasonable price, and roughly what that price should be? Thanks!!

Omega 2500 movement issue?
I have a PO with a 2500 and about a month ago it stopped all of the sudden, it;s my daily driver so it was wound.I played with it a while and I could get it to start for a few seconds and then stop again, it was Saturday afternoon so I took it off and decided to take it to Omega on Monday.To my surprise on Sunday afternoon I noticed that it had started back on its own and it hasn't stopped since.Om Friday the same thing happened to a coworker that has a similar watch but he's restarted a few hours later.What gives?

Misalignment question.
I bought a Speedy automatic 3510.50 in Nov 06, earlier this year it went to +15s a day so got it regulated by the Omega service centre here, took a royal 6 weeks. I've given this watch to my son as he needs to time his exams using the chrono function. (yeah it's just an excuse but what the heck...)Anyway, found out one of the chrono subdials is misaligned (the hour one at 6 o'clock). Unfortunately it's just out of warranty now.What can be done with it? Is it expensive to fix?N.B. When I took this photo end of Oct it was like 1-2s off, now it's like 4s off.

The most accurate wristwatch ever?
Came across this little bit of info earlier this week, thought I'd share it.Once again, it shows just how well-made some of the brands that are considered 'low-end' are.The Citizen Citizen Crystron Mega or 'Mega Quartz'. c.1975!Considered by many as the most accurate wristwatch. Whilst most quartz watches were within 15seconds per month, the citizen mega quartz/Citizen Crystron Mega was accurate to 3 seconds per year. Per year, people!A bit of info on it's 'thermocompensated' quartz movement:Stability in a quartz watch's rate, comes down to the cycles/beats of its resonator, the quartz crystal. Apparently, the crystal actually moves, many many thousand times per second. The fact that they have such a high oscillation rate negate traditional factors that effect a rate, ie: arm movement, watch position, gravity and so on. However, one small drawback appears to be that it is affected slightly by temperate, which has been the greatest cause of rate difference in quartz watches. One way of
