BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends November 21, 2014
Tag Heuer is a curious?brand in that its pieces are diverse in its price range. It makes relatively affordable quartz pieces and at the same time also has some truly outstanding and costly watches such as the Monaco V4 Tourbillion and the MikroPendulumS. And earlier this year at Baselworld, it announced a brand new chronograph movement called the CH80 and a new watch that will feature this new movement called the Carrera CH80. The watch was positively received and many were looking forward to its launch. However, production was delayed time and again and the latest news seems to indicate that Tag Heuer will cease production altogether. This all sounds very drastic, and in this round-up, we feature an article that takes a considered look at why this has happened.If we were to take a look at the individuals who have contributed most to horology, many of them would be British. Here are some examples: John Arnold, John Harrison, George Graham, Thomas Mudge, and more recently, George Daniel

Introducing The Bremont Wright Flyer, A Limited Edition Containing A Fragment Of The World's First Airplane
Bremont has created some pretty special limited editions in the past, including the Codebreaker (containing material from Bletchley Park) and the HMS Victory (with oak and copper from the eponymous warship). Today Bremont unveils what might be the most ambitious watch they've produced to day, the Bremont Wright Flyer. Not only does the watch contain (according to Bremont) the company's brand new proprietary movement, but it also contains an actual piece of muslin from the wing of the Wright Flyer, the world's very first airplane. Seriously.?Honestly, Bremont is the only watchmaker that could pull off something like this. As if launching its very first in-house movement wasn't enough, it has to put a piece of the world's first airplane in the watch for good measure. It's hard not to get excited about this piece, so let's dig in. 2 OF 18 via wikipedia.org The namesake aircraft, the Wright Flyer, made the world's first powered flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in De

diver comfort
Well I've had my ceramic diver on the wrist non stop for a little more than 48 hrs now, and I must say my fear of it being not comfy enough has vanished as after getting used to it it's incredibly comfortable for a watch that size, maybe because of the rubber band, I still haven't gotten used to the size visually speaking, when I look at it I have the feeling it's very very big, but I forget I'm wearing it, even sleep with it and no discomfort at all, whereas after having my 5712 I couldn't wear my Rolexes as I found them lacking comfort, but not the case with the AP, so for those hesitating about this go for it, after a small adjustment period it feels fine

Planet Ocean 8500 rubber strap and deployant MSRP
Does anyone happen to know the MSRP for the rubber strap and deployant buckle for the 45mm 8500 PO? I know what they go for on ofrei, but might be in the area of some dealers next week and if any of them had the straps in stock I wanted to know what the price comparison would be. TIA!

Went for it!
I had been looking at the 5726 as some of you may have noticed from my recent thread, went to the AD today to place the deposit for it and he showed me the 5712G he had hidden away.This was a watch I'd written off as too slim for me and was unsure about the asymmetric dial. However when I put the watch on my wrist the proportions looked great, actually much better than the 5980 I also tried. Not to mention it was in white gold and the lack of AC was not a problem since I already own a 5205. I think the dial is very nice in person, the asymmetry gives it a technical look, and the slate dial is very reactive to light changes and is very interesting. The case is a work of art! I absolutely love I went home and picked up my fianc��e to come and take a look, she told me to definitely go for it. So I did and here we are now a half an hour later back home as the very proud owner of a 5712G and 5205R!I have had them put the 5712 on the composite waterproof strap and I think it just looks so goo
