2 Walthams have arrived ! ...Need Some Help Though .....
well, here are the first 2 of the group of 8 watches that I bought through ebay last week .......Walthams .....the first is this beauty ....70s I think eh ? ......and it is in fab-u-lous condition ......and keeps good time for more than 24 hours .....paid $35 for it , and I am well pleased ...even the back is immaculatebut then there's the other Waltham and that's where I need the help .....HEre's what it looks like ....and as you can see it is very large even for a watch of it's time ....I'm thinking early 30s ? ....is that right ? and it's clean very very clean .....the quarter in the background is only about 1/2 inch behind it , as I couldn't get the 2 of them closer together than that ......Now, the listing said it was running, but would need to be cleaned .....and that's kind of a run of the mill disclaimer, but this thing only runs for about .ooh say 7 seconds before it stops, when I got the back off, the balance wheel would move freely when I shake the watch, but then it will st

Breitling Bentley GMT vs. JLC Reverso Squadro GMT
Can anyone weigh in on what they think of both of these beautiful watches?I like the Breitling. It's big, masculine lines and great face. But with Jaeger lecoultre Reverso within the same price range, I can't decide. Help sway me one way or the other. The JLC has more of a wow factor with the reversible exhibition back and amazing craftsmanship. Looking at both in stainless steel strap.

A Great Watch Weekend
So, anyone remember the story I told about meeting the watch repair man in the antique store about a month ago? Well, as I got my tax return last week, I called him on Friday to arrange for the vintage Bulova automatic (Which by the way, kept great time!) to be fixed (Couldn't set it clockwise-crown came undone). He said for me to drop it off on Saturday. As well, I really wanted to get my wife a decent watch for Vaelntine's Day, so i've been searching Craigslist lately. I saw a very nice Citizen Eco Drive ladies watch in a style I knew she'd like posted this past Wednesday. "Man, if it's still for sale when I get my tax return, I'm going to buy it" Sure enough, tax return hit on Thursday. So, I met the seller on Friday (She happened to be in my aera right after I left the bank-it worked out perfectly!). The only problem with the watch was the band was missing a pin, which she noted in the ad. She had the original bax, papers, books and extra links. It was working, so I bought it.So, n

Plexi maintenance
Do you guys have any interesting plexi maintenance tips? I've always used Mother's Mag & Aluminium Polish and Meguiar's Headlight Protectant on plexi. I know many swear by PolyWatch or even toothpaste but the only real requirement is that it be a very fine abrasive. Heck even CapeCod clothes should work. I just use Mother's because it's cheapest and easier to find. The Meguiar's Proctectant is probably overkill but it's always worked well on my cars. What's worked for you?

Would you buy a new model Oysterquartz?
I've got an exciting incoming soon, after almost 10 years of toying with the idea of getting one but never quite being at the right place at the right time a ref 17000 is on the way.This got me thinking, given that Rolex did in fact develop two new Cal. to replace the date and day date OQ models in the early 00s but never went into full production, I imagine it would be relatively straightforward to release a new model.If that were the case, would you buy one and if so, what features would you hope for and at what price point?
