Introducing: The IWC Pilots Watch Timezoner Chronograph (Full Specs & Pricing)
This one isn't small, simple, or elegant like the 36 mm Pilots Watch or the new Mark XVIII from IWC this year, but it features a very cool complication. For the first time, one may now set the time zone on a multi-time zone wristwatch quickly, just by pressing and turning the bezel of this new Timezoner Chronograph. Some of this technology existed before in the form of the Vogard World Timer, but this takes things quite a few steps further.A little background: the ability to set the time on a world time watch by turning the bezel to the name of a reference city was originally developed by Michael Vogt, whose company, Vogard, showed the technology at Baselworld in 2014, after a decade long development process.  His design was purchased and further developed by IWC and is now the full production Timezoner Chronograph. 1 OF 3 First off, the watch is a column-wheel chronograph, with the movement made in-house by IWC (caliber 89760).  The hour and minute register

Speedy Pro "Tintin" has arrived...
Hey all,Well, despite the lack of love for the Speedy Pro Racing dial known as the Tintin, I've been hooked on it since it was announced. I first saw it in London about a year ago but held off due to other recent buys. Well, the fire was stoked again recently...even more so when I found it was already out of production. When I started to re-research it, I found very little info likely due to the ugly reviews...including some on here. Well, the dial sung to me and I had a real hunch that it would play well on a NATO. I really dislike the Speedy Pro bracelet and feel it draws one's eyes away from this pretty, painted dial. I've had her on my wrist for 4 days straight since arrival!Look for her on fratellowatches this coming week as my new piece will be featured. Enjoy some pics...maybe they'll change your mind a little. :)MikeSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Case number for midsize Seamaster?
Do anyone know the case number for the midsize Seamaster? I'm looking for some spares from Otto Frei but I don't have the tools necessary to open the caseback on my watch

Visit with Fr. John
My wife and I had a chance to visit Fr. John and his lovely wife today in their home. I'm pleased to report that he is in good spirits and getting around his home well in a wheel chair. He said that it will be several more months before he is fully vertical (his humor) , but he said he is healing nicely.As Fr. John is a friend to so many here on the forum I wanted to pass on the good report. Cheers, Bill P.

There's always a first, sometimes, there are two in one go..
A few months ago, I wore a white gold daytona on croc as a daily and was scratching my head as to which Patek i would want to wear. Tried all sorts: 5205, 5146 and settled on a precious metal 5712. The thin case, general refinement and comfort did it for me. I even considered a 5960p but the watch was too top heavy.So it arrived yesterday and one of my colleague at work took some pics this morning.2 firsts? My first Patek and my first rose gold watch.
