Watches on Mars
from NSA:Watchmaker With Time to LoseJanuary 08, 2004Garo Anserlian, master watch and clockmakerGaro Anserlian, master watch and clockmakerBrowse ImageThey said it couldn't be done. But in the sleepy little town of Montrose, California, nestled in the hills surrounding JPL, master watchmaker Garo Anserlian of Executive Jewelers is perfecting a timepiece for hundreds of Earthlings bound to Mars' irregular day. Past the glass cases of what looks like an ordinary jewelry store is a workshop where watches are losing 39 minutes a day.Rover controllers have to monitor Spirit (and soon, Opportunity) all the time; this doesn't just mean 24 hours a day " it means 24 hours, 39 minutes a day. The martian day is longer than Earth's, but this minimal variance can amount to physical and mental fatigue. Every day, team members are reporting to work 39 minutes later than the previous day."Everything on this mission is based on local solar time on Mars," said Julie Townsend, Mars Exploration Rover avio

ETA 2836-2 GMT vs ETA 2893-2 GMT
Any reason why one "should" be better than the other?I'm looking at 2 different GMT watches and one has the 2836-2 (Aeronautic GMT) and the other has the 2893-2 (Debaufre GMT Ocean 1). The 2893-2 is about $150 more in price (about $500 vs. $650).For me, I think I like the look of the 2836-2 watch better so I may have answered my own question but I wanted an opinion on one movement vs. the other.Thanks.

Sadly my longtime favorite dealer is hanging it up
Jim at Continental Jewelers in Washington, DC, has decided to close out his watch business. As many of you recall, Jim's leased location was demolished for new construction several years ago. Because of his age (he will be 83 in October) and Omega's move from ADs to boutiques, Jim decided not to go with the expense of a new show room which meant losing his AD status with Omega.He has been able to continue business as usual but now due to his wife's illness, his intent is to be closed down by the end of the year. He has a couple of hundred watches that he needs to move so if you are looking for a new one, now is the time to give Jim a call.Jim asked me to thank all of his customers and forum friends for their prayers and support.
