What You Want To Know About Watch LuminantWithout Luminescent materials such as SuperLuminova and Lumbrite, we would still be holding our watches next to lamps to tell the time at night. But have you wondered how such materials were developed? Here¡¯s an in-depth look at the history and evolution of luminescent watch materials.Source: watches-dealer2.

Getting my first Omega!
Hi Folks,I'm planning to get my first omega in the next few weeks, but I'm still deciding with fit me best. I'm 21 years old, and have currently attend college for two years. I go to college full-time and work part-time as a professional videographer at weekend. My plan is getting a omega to fit my daily basic at school, and dress up at weekend for work.1st - what omega fit me best? Thinking of AT 8500 or PO 8500 (If AT 85, should I get Master Co-Axial?)2nd - Is there any trusted dealer online that you've experimented with or you've already dealt with? I currently live in CA, US, and one of my friends recommended me Jomashop, since he've got his Rolex GMT there a while back.3rd - I would like my watch comes with stainless steel, and I will get some REAL Alligator straps with Omega buckle. I just wondered where can I get them at?I highly appreciate your thoughts or comments.Best regards,Hien

American watch Company Forum
We had a thread asking if it would be an idea to have two Hamilton forums (vintage/modern)I was not for that.But I would propose an American Forum for other manufacturers (waltham/gruen/Illinois/Bulova/Elgin/Rather in 'discussions' forumI would think that would be very interesting.Adam

Discontinued Models ?
So I talked to a guy at a local jewelry store today and he told me he had a few discontinued and "last years" models.. does anyone know is there is an easier way to find these models other than going to each store and asking ? I have my eyes set on a few Hamilton models, but want to know if there is a way I can get a nicer watch and keep it in my price range !?thanks

Couple Days Watch Shopping...
It was interesting for several reasons.I went to look for a Speedmaster Pro, fully knowing the wife would say no, however she didn't have to. I didn't like them. I also learned that some shops have very rude and arrogant people working for them, especially the first Omega dealer I went to.I did find a watch I really liked; a Breitling Super Ocean in black and the owner was very nice and gave me an OTD price of 2K. My wife said no, ofcourse.We went to two other dealers. The Rolex people were also super nice even though I told them up front I couldn't afford one but she pulled out a Sea Dweller anyhow and I tried it on, honestly shocked at how light and small it was compared to my Seamaster. She also had my wife trying on some of the ladies Rolex, she liked the SS with the copper face best, but not for 5K!Fortunatley the last dealer Rolex and Omega were also more than happy to let us browse and remarked how nice my White GMT was, but alas I left empty handed.Later that night my wife
