Linde Werdelin SpidoLite SA Skeleton Dial
Launched in 2006 by Morten Linde and Jorn Werdelin, Linde Werdelin watches bring together Swiss watchmaking and innovative Danish design and technology. The company specializes in producing small watch series between 22 and 222 pieces for each model. For 2010 Linde Werdelin is launching a new series called SpidoLite, one version of which offers something special: a NOS (new, old stock) A. Schild caliber 1876 movement modified by renowned Danish watchmaker Svend Andersen.Andersen is a legend in watchmaking circles. In 1969 he was dubbed Watchmaker of the Impossible at the Montres & Bijou show for his clock in a bottle – essentially a large pocket watch movement with dial assembled inside a glass bottle with a narrow neck (the dial was made in strips linked together inside the bottle). The achievement took Andersen to the complications department at Patek Philippe where we worked with the company's most accomplished watchmakers. In 1979 Andersen opened his own workshop, and
Introducing: The New Tudor Heritage Black Bay 36
On the heels of the new Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze is this little gem, the Tudor Black Bay 36. Yes, that's right, a 36 mm watch from the Tudor Heritage Collection. A welcome addition for any vintage watch lover, or those with a preference for 36 mm watches. 1 OF 3 The new Tudor Heritage Black Bay 36 features, you guessed it, a 36 mm stainless steel case with smooth bezel. The shiny black dial is based on the Tudor diving watches from the 1950s with large applied white lume dots and "snowflake" hands. This watch is powered by the automatic-winding caliber 2824 movement and is waterproof up to 150 m (500 ft). Additionally, this watch is available with a leather strap or a steel bracelet. ADVERTISEMENT 2 OF 33 OF 3 This watch is a welcome addition to the Tudor Heritage Collection and retails for CHF 2,400. The Black Bay Bronze and Black Bay Dark are certainly getting the lion's share of attention but this one

Omega SMP chronograph advice needed...
My Omega AD has a NOS 2954 that I'm really considering buying .It has the cal. 33XX movement which is itself based on a highly regarded F.Piguet movement. I know Omega had some teething problems with it at first, but for a free sprung, column wheel movement it is a very decently priced watch IMHO...I also love the fact that is does not have a wave dial while the bezel numbers font is much more attractive to me than the bond chrono . Now if one compares it to 2225.80 SMP Bond chrono I believe the pushers on the 2594 are less spaced apart and I also believe the shape case is different. Can anyone confirm if the 2594 is thinner and also the crown guard is different? So are the cases different completely ? And now the watches in question..What are your opinions on both? Thanks for any help in advance .
SMP vs. Non Ceramic Sub
Went out for dinner with some friends last night and one of them was wearing a SS sub circa 1995, I was wearing my coaxial SMP Bond. We switched watches for a few minutes and he admitted that my SMP felt much more substantial then his sub. He was very impressed with the dial, bracelet and caseback of my SMP.I know it is not fair to compare a new SMP with an older sub but with a new sub costing twice as much as a SMP, the Bond is a bargain!
