Omega Unveils Seamaster 15,000 Gauss, the World’s Most Antimagnetic Watch
Omega, which pioneered the use of innovative new materials and technologies in watchmaking, has introduced perhaps its most impressive technological accomplishment in recent years, the development of a wristwatch that is resistant to magnetic fields greater than 15,000 gauss, a level far exceeding that of any other watch.The announcement of the prototype watch, a Seamaster Aqua Terra model called the Omega Seamaster >15,000 Gauss, took place at a press conference in the penthouse of New York City’s? Setai building. The presentation, which included videos and a practical test involving real magnets, was conducted by Omega’s Stephen Urquhart and its vice-president and head of product development, Jean-Claude Monachon, along with Michel Willemin, CEO of the research-and-development lab ASULAB, and Thierry Conus, director of research and development at the movement-maker ETA.

A Story of Betrayal
I've always considered myself a Royal Oak purist and felt that I could never betray my love for the 39mm original Royal Oak. Well, I was wrong. I just received this gorgeous 15400 and couldn't be happier. This watch is something else in person. Excuse the iPhone pics. More to come.

Fallen in love with the Moonwatch
I have slowly fallen in love with the Moonwatch. Such a classic and price is within reach.I did recently put a order for a new Subc no date because I dont want to deal with counterfeit Rolex. It would hate me emotionally if I ever found out I bought a fake used Rolex.With the Moonwatch, used price is relatively cheap (just the basic model) compare to a Rolex. The lower the capital cost, the lower the risk, just like all investment.How do I even start? I live in Canada and often travel to Asia (Hong Kong and China mostly) for pleasure/work. I am going to guess Canada is not the place to find a good used Moonwatch. How about Hong Kong? Any recommendation on where to start? It excites me knowing I will go though the process of learning how to find the right used Moonwatch and the actually used shopping process. I often buy used electronics and vehicle, that's the only used experience I have. Sold my damn Apple Watch last week, no more toy watch :)

Aqua Terra cal.8500 & new Silicon Balance Spring
Does anyone know if the recent production of AT's with the cal. 8500 are equipped with the new silicon balance spring? A local major AD told me the one she was selling had it, but another major distributor told me they are not out yet. Upon examining the balance wheel/spring through the exhibition back, I noted the balance wheel was black, but how can one tell for sure it's the silicon spring? Any help would be appreciated.

My Submariner Story
As a kid I would go to D.C. on school field trips and we would buy fake Rolexes. I was drawn to them because of the unique Cyclops date and the fact that maybe you could fool someone in to thinking it was real. As I grew older and graduated college I remember being on the subway on the way to the US Open with my Dad and seeing a guy (not much older than I was at the time) wearing a Black SS Submariner. The watch was perfect. It was luxurious but not too formal. It was sporty but not too casual. It was a Rolex but not as ostentatious as the all gold ones you would see Gordon Gekko type people wear. I began to wonder if it was fake or how did he get the money to buy that if it was real, more importantly just how far off his lifestyle was from mine. I didn't have hardly any money at the time and the thought of buying a Rolex could not have been more foreign. It made me want to be in the position to buy that watch and I knew if I worked hard enough I could. Years went on and I saw
