Nik Wallenda Takes JeanRichard To New Heights Over Grand Canyon
You no doubt have heard the news (or perhaps even watched the live broadcast) of Nik Wallenda crossing over the Little Colorado River Gorge (near the Grand Canyon), 1500 feet in the air without a tether on June 23, 2013. ?What you may not have caught is the fact he was wearing a watch from JeanRichard as Wallenda is JeanRichard's latest brand ambassador (Ariel had dinner with him and vouches that he is indeed a nice guy).The watch in question that crossed the Canyon was the JeanRichard Terrascope (pictured up top, and reviewed right here). ?At first, it may seem a little odd that someone would wear a $3,500 watch in a stunt like this - not to mention the fact of having that extra unbalanced weight. ?But, when you realize that Mr. Wallenda is a brand ambassador for JeanRichard, it all makes sense. Eventually there will be a limited edition version of the watch for Wallenda.If you're going to take risks like this (and with as wide as an audience as this viewing had), you'd might as well

Does the 2500c movement suck, or is it all overblown?
I see a lot of sellers posting that their Omega Planet Oceans have the 2500D movement and not the dreaded 2500C movement. I know that the 2500C is accurate because I was able to tell that from searching around here. My question is about durability. Is it just a vocal ~.05% failure rate or is it more like 10% failure rate on the 2500C movement?How much would it cost to fix a failed 2500C assuming the warranty expired?Thanks!

Am I getting a good deal?
After collecting for some time now I think a base model Panerai would compliment my collection nicely. I have the opportunity to buy on eBay a J serial 112 it has some scratches but the seller claims it was recently serviced. I figure I will send it to my local jeweler to get a nice polish. It doesn't come with box or papers and he wants $3,555 considering this is a watch from 2007 is this a good deal?

Trying on GMT
Yesterday I tried on a GMT for the first time. I am actually interested in a Sub date, but I understood the case of the GMT is the same, so at least I got an idea of the feel of the watch. I notice the lug to lug measure might be a bit too long for me. Or will it be fine once the strap is adjusted to my wrist?Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met Tapatalk
