Watch Insider: Introducing TAG Heuer’s New In-House Movement, Caliber 1969
TAG Heuer’s new integrated mechanical chronograph movement, Caliber 1969, is now being produced at the recently finished fourth TAG Heuer factory, in Chevenez in the Swiss Jura. I take you inside the brand-new facility, and examine the details of the new in-house movement, in this article from my blog, Watch-Insider.In 2009, TAG Heuer launched Caliber 1887, based �� as you may know by now �� on an old Seiko chronograph movement (and made its debut in the TAG Heuer Carrera 1887; click here for WatchTime’s test of that watch). It had been partially re-engineered by TAG Heuer and then produced by TAG in Switzerland. The integrated, self-winding, column-wheel chronograph movement is outfitted with a contemporary version of the brand's 1887-patented oscillating pinion.

Antiques Roadshow Tiffany Dialed Original Pepsi GMT
Sorry for lousy pictures - shot it off my TV while watching the show just now. Season22/Episode9. Saw this and thought the story was unbelievable. Guy takes this off his wrist at the show - gifted by his uncle in 1975 - over 40 years ago. Guy never knew about Rolex but wore it almost daily since then. His wrist gives good evidence...2 years ago the Rolex dealer told him if he serviced it, they would replace the dial So he went to an indy for service. It is from 1963-64 per s/n - early gilt underline dial per the appraiser, Peter Planes, from Royce Estate Buyers in Palm Beach, FL. Would be worth $10-12K if he had it serviced by Rolex with replaced dial and bezel insert. But in this current untouched original condition, worth $50K retail as long as he doesn't touch it. And if the dial had not oxidized so much and was perfect it would have fetched upwards of $100K Good Grief said the guy. I think the indy watchmaker may have replaced the date wheel because it is so white. Just sharing

Incoming Watch Box
I just unboxed my new Rapport Watch Box. Its beautifully well made and worth every penny. The number of watch holders intentionally exceeds the size of my current collection. However, I have an incoming BLNR that should be here very soon per my AD. I'm also waiting on a blue face SS Skydweller like so many other collectors.
