Tissot’s Luxury Automatics Offer 80-Hour Power Reserve
Fans of affordably priced Swiss mechanicals may want to take a close look at the new Tissot Luxury Automatic COSC collection, which includes the first Swiss watches to contain the new caliber nicknamed Powermatic 80, an automatic movement with COSC chronometer certification and an 80-hour power reserve.The Powermatic 80 is the product of a collaboration between Tissot and the movement manufacturer ETA, Tissot’s sister company within the Swatch Group. To achieve its unprecedented lengthy power reserve (most comparable movements offer power reserves around 42 hours), its inventors developed a system that strongly reduces the consumption of energy. The oscillation frequency was reduced from 4 Hz to 3 Hz (21,600 vph), a high-performance synthetic material was used in the escapement to reduce friction. Also, the diameter of the barrel-arbor’s core was reduced, which enabled the mainspring to be stretched, thereby increasing the power reserve. The balance was also regulated in a

BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends August 16th
In the past two weeks, watches-dealer reviewed two affordable dive watches that changed my mind about boutique dive watch brands. And the other end of the price spectrum, there's Patek Philippe's lovely new Gondolo 8 day watch; and we examine the differences between buying watches online as opposed to a brick and mortar retail shop.?Speaking of buying watches, after-sales service is very important for luxury watch brands and I recently found out how Audemars Piguet takes care of its customers in Singapore.1.?Bell & Ross BR01-94 Pro Titanium Carbon Fiber Watch ReviewTo have a instantly recognizable design is one of the highest praisees a watch designer can have, and one cannot deny that Bell & Ross watches have a look that is distinctly theirs. The brand recently updated its BR01 Pro lineup to include this watch - the BR01-94 Pro Titanium Carbon Fiber - which combines two hardy materials, titanium and carbon fiber, to create a super sporty and durable sports chronograph.Source:

So, are the 44.25mm Co-Axial Speedmasters Out???
I'm talking about the 311.30.44.50.01.002 and 311.30.44.50.01.001. .omegawatches/index.ph...002&no_cache=1 and .omegawatches/index.ph...001&no_cache=1 , respectively. I still haven't seen any and went to Jared's (yeah, I went there) and they looked at my like I was crazy. He said, he'd look into the 44.25mm Speedy. So, anyone? Bueler, Bueler, Bueler.... Thanks in advance.

Submariner Bezel Replacement - Dallas
Hey all! Calling in all Dallas TRFer's to advise me on a replacement bezel insert for my 16610. Accidentally knocked it earlier today and it must've popped off as I noticed my little guy was looking very naked once I got home. I'll be heading out of town on Tuesday and was hoping to just swing by a local AD or RSC Dallas? to see if anyone would be willing to replace the bezel insert only within the day. I've seen several threads a few years back where members got bezel insert replacements for about $75 at RSC Dallas in about 45 minutes but just wanted to see if anyone had a more recent experience with this or if there's another AD that they would recommend.Thank you!

78790 endlinks
I want one oyster bracelet that is compatible with my 1016 R serial and my 14060m Z serial.I like the 78790 do to the smaller clasp and safety. Can I use both 501b and 580 end links on this bracelet? I don't know if the last center link is wedge or round on 78790 or if that matters.Thank you in advance
