Jaeger-LeCoultre: Making Timepieces In The Heart Of Watch Country
I am in Switzerland ¨C in the Jura mountains to be exact ¨C and it is snowing. As a California guy I don¡¯t see much snow. In fact, the only times I have really seen snow in my life has been in Europe. The place looks like something out of a Christmas card. There is white covering the ground and lining the trees while quaint little buildings spew puffs of smoke out of their chimneys. It is all very charming in a sort of storybook way. It is also the perfect setting for watch making, and the winter window views of the men and women who work at Jaeger-LeCoultre.I heard some interesting history which helps to explain at least part of why there are so many watch brands up here. The mostly agrarian culture (traditionally) didn¡¯t have much to do during the long winters. So an indoor activity would have made the most sense. This area also has relatively easy to mine metal ore deposits which the people here have been using for a long time to make metal tools and things like musical instruments. O

Is it safe . . .
To buy a luxury watch via the internet? Like a real Rolex or any other luxury make? Are there ways to verify the legitimacy of the seller and merchandise?

My Olympic viewing attire... OMEGA!
As I sit on the couch like many of you viewing the Olympic games supporting our respected countries athletes, I am also enjoying all the OMEGA banners and logos throughout the venues. Here are my OMEGA timepieces that I am wearing proudly as I watch the games... also wearing my OMEGA red hat the OMEGA sent me.

Considering a Planet Ocean..Need a little direction
Hello, to date I have been just a Rolex and old pocket watch kind of guy. But, the Orange Planet Ocean really has my attention. The problem is I cannot figure out what is what. It seems there are two sizes. 42mm and 45.5mm. Then it seems like there is a new in house 8500 movement as opposed to an older 2500 or 2900(?) movement that may be an ETA. When I look on eBay, some of them have many bids and some no bids. On this forum the Planet Oceans seem to sell right away. I called a dealer some 75 miles from where I live and he said he has a new 8500 42mm for $4500. I probably have no interest in a new one. Especially at that price. So I seem to have done as much research as I can but still really have no clear idea as to what is out there and what I would be buying. Any enlightenment that some of you could give me on what seems a myriad of choices would be welcome.
