The Vacheron Constantin Harmony Tourbillon Chronograph, With "Dragging" 45-Minute Chronograph Function
Vacheron Constantin's Harmony line drew praise after revealing the thinnest self-winding split-seconds mono-pusher chronograph a month ago. Then it drew more praise with its mono-pusher doctor's chronograph, which employed similar technical innovation on a more reserved scale. All together, this collection of new calibers took seven years of research and development, and you can bet that a decent chunk of that went to coupling the improved chronograph with an improved tourbillon.Vacheron's new Tourbillon Chronograph utilizes the same 42 mm cushion-shaped case as the other pieces of the Harmony collection.

Excellant service and a very helpful lady. It is an amazing speedy and definately the most comfortable Omega I own to date. I will post photos as soon as I can. This is the Omega photo of it

Speedmaster Mark II
Talking with a friend about watches last weekend, he mentioned that he had an old Omega Speedmaster . He'd bought it new in 1973 and worn if for a few years, but it hadn't seen the light of day for quite a while.He brought it over today and it turned out to be a Speedmaster Pro Mark II with orange and red dial trim and hands. Very cool looking watch! He's not considering selling it, but is wondering if there's a strong market for that model.
