3 Standout Tourbillon Watches From Baselworld 2013
After a few challenging economic years for the watch industry, in which some feared big-ticket haute horlogerie timepieces were on the wane, tourbillon watches came roaring back at this year’s Baselworld. Here’s a trio of unusual tourbillons that grabbed our attention.Chopard brings its long association with motorsports? to bear in the design of its new L.U.C. Engine One Tourbillon, which is built to resemble the engine block of a high-performance racecar. The horizontally oriented titanium case contains a manual-wound tourbillon movement, Chopard Caliber L.U.C. 04.02-L, designed and assembled at Chopard’s manufacture in Fleurier, Switzerland. The openings in the movement resemble those on a car engine’s air intake; the engraved grooves on the dial-side bridges are inspired by engine-block cylinder heads and are a functional part of the mainplate. The case features contrast in its polished and brushed surfaces as well as in its cut-off curves and concave surface

What are the odds I will one day own a Bee?
Well,My last two snowmobiles...My collector cars present and former...My lucky fishing pullover...I'm just saying the odds are looking good is all!

Brand New Omega Died!!
I guess I now have to believe all the threads about omega P.O.'s dying. Because mine just did. It is Brand new from an AD about a month ago(ish) and after winding it this morning, it ran for a half hour and died. It will start if I shake it or flick it then die again a few seconds later. Great now I get to send it off to Omega and wait to get my watch back. Not a good experience for a first time Omega owner

Question of size
As I'm waiting for the 5712 to arrive I was wondering about size and weight. So if you own a SS Daytona and a 5712a are they basically the same size and weight? Do you have a comparison photo? Some have talked about the larger lugs but by looking at pictures they seem to be the same size. Although the 5712 doesn't appear to have traditional looking lugs. As far as my wrist is concerned I think it will fit fine.

Faint Scratch
Hi everyone,Hoping for a little advice on a few topics. Firstly I scratched the glass of my 5712R by banging it against something and want to know what to do. It's very very faint but is bothering me big time so want to know what the options are and ball park costs - I am not keen on anything DIY!Secondly, I would really like to understand service costs from Patek. Please feedback on various options (i.e. Polishing, full mechanical lube etc etc)Sorry for the basic queries but I am new to this!
