Tissot Expands the use of the Powermatic 80 movement
Although it isn't available in Tissot's online US store, Tissot has put the Powermatic 80 (80 hour power reserve) in the PRC 200 watch. Not only that, instead of just a date display, it now has the day/date at the 3 o'clock position.TISSOT PRC 200 - TissotScreen Shot 2013-07-30 at 11.06.11 PM.jpg

New Omega (AD) 3603 movement-Disappointed!
Purchased my Speedmaster Solar Impulse from an AD less than two weeks ago, and while looking at it last night was dismayed to see the minute chronograph hand (in the 30-minute dial) sticking at 28 minutes. I reset the stop watch functions twice and did the same thing. On the third time, the dial finally went past 28 and has been functioning well...so far.What gives, Omega??? Never had any problems with my hand-wound Rolex and automatic Rolex watches, although none of them are Daytonas. The Daytona is somewhat small for my wrist--which is why I went with the 44.25mm Speedmaster.My confidence in Omega is starting to dwindle. The watch will probably go to Omega for warranty work.

Report from the Patek exhibition
Please excuse a new thread on this topic - I was going to add my report to an existing thread, but I may need to post over a few days and it would have become too disjointed.Part 1I didn't really know what to expect from the Patek exhibition, but I have to say what a really excellent job Patek have done. The whole thing was very slick from start to finish. I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed - I wasn't expecting as many people, so my advice is if you are going get there early.Also there is an iphone app available, so download before you go to get the best out of your visit.The exhibition is split into a number of different rooms and areas. After watching a short video the first stop is the Royal room containing timepieces owned by previous royalty.The two pocket watches in the photo belonged to Queen Victoria. This is one of the rooms where there is a lot of queuing to get in, with not much time to look at the exhibits.

Incoming Explorer and thoughts on my journey thus far
Forgive the long-winded post - I think I may have too much free time at my desk this morning...I've nearly reached the end of my self-imposed delay at long last. Later today, I'm headed to the AD to pick up the Explorer they put aside for me nearly three long months ago, and I really do feel like I did at 10 years old on Christmas Eve, before heading to my beloved Grandmother's house for the feast and celebrations and, of course, presents.When I went to the AD back in August to choose which model I wanted, I promised to myself that I would only pick it up as a reward for accomplishing a few important things, some of which needed a little more time, and now I'm finally there.Also, as I outlined in another post somewhere, when it comes to luxury or pleasure-based purchases, I've always really enjoyed the anticipation nearly as much as the possession, so it wasn't too hard for me to make the decision to wait a little. It'll make the experience later this afternoon that much sweeter, aft
