TAG Heuer to Increase Movement-Manufacturing at New Site in Jura
TAG Heuer has announced that it is doubling its mechanical-chronograph movement manufacturing capacity by building a new site in Chevenez, in the Swiss Canton of Jura, which will create 100 jobs and be operational by the end of 2013. The site will produce the in-house Caliber 1887 mechanical chronograph that was launched two years ago, plus a brand-new caliber that TAG Heuer is developing. Currently, all of TAG Heuer’s in-house movements are made by the company at its facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds and at Cortech in Cornol.

Took The Plunge
Well after only being a Rolex and Panerai guy, I bought an Omega today. I purchased the Alaska Project Speedy Pro and it should be here on Tuesday. I really needed a white dial in my collection and I think this piece fits the bill. Pics to follow......

Aquanaut at CL Final
So I was lucky enough to get tickets to this year's Champions League final in Cardiff. As the stadium is only about 30 mins drive from my home I was able to work in a weekend at home with the family as well. (I work in Qatar in the Middle East). A couple of weeks ago prompted by an incoming thread from 'topcat30093' I followed up on an order I had placed back in December for an aquanaut. I was told 12-18 months initially as an expected wait time but lucky for me the AD told me he thought he could now get one within two weeks. So I flew into the UK on Thursday, picked the watch up on Friday and proudly wore it to the Final last night. Here's a pic of my new aquanaut at the game.

Picking up my first Patek, need your advice

Legit 510?
Hello everyone, Last week I've asked on this forum about my choices for my first Panerai. I appreciate everyone's feedback on that. I've narrowed down to a PAM 510. The dealer (whom I've never met yet) has been very informative about the timepiece. They're a very reputable shop in Hong Kong but I just wanted to ask the savvy community here just in case. Based on the photos, do you think this piece is legit?Sorry for the photos they did not remove the vinyl when taking the pics *The previous owner was a lady thus she wore it on the pink strap. Both straps are brand new.
