Limes Endurance 1Tausend Diver Watch: Spirit Of German Submersion
Say "1Tausend" out loud and you have an instant German accent when saying "one thousand." This is not only the name of the new Limes (pronounced "lee-mez") diving watch, but also how deep it can resist water pressure. Are you going to be diving that deep? No, but Germans like to brag about their fortitude, and now so can you. With a very "Sinn" like styling, you can have a highly refined and functional diving watch for a fair price.Limes does something special among smaller watch makers, and that is make their own cases (which are usually sourced out). This gives them the ability to ensure high quality and release some interesting designs. The Endurance 1Tausend Diver Watch has an unmistakable look, even though it shares the appeal of many modern German diving watches. The face is well done providing each piece of numeric information without taking away from simple legibility. Limes does this by placing the hour, minute, and luminous hour indicator all in the same liner space. The thre

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

Seamaster GMT problem
Hi(Apologies for the post length but the full story may help)A couple of years ago my 50th anniversary model GMT developed a problem, the 12 hour hand was moving on intermittently and did not jump one full hour when crown turned. The guy who usually looks after my watches was too busy so i found another repairer quite local. Watch was serviced and all appeared well but after several weeks i noticed the date was changing at 0600 hours. I sent it back and it was rectified but after a few weeks it was doing the same. This went on for a while but communications broke down between us so i just wore the watch as was.The 12 hour hand is now sticking at 1000 and twitches but doesn't move on. The guy i know is not as busy now so has the watch but he can't seem to identify the problem. He is well experienced (50+ years) but doesnt use the internet hence me seeking advice. He has replaced the 24 hour wheel, setting wheel and experimented with various tensions on the date change wheel. He
