Absolutely last IWC purchase in 2007, I think
Yesterday while at my AD I spied this 1950's cal 89 sitting among a crowd of pre-owned wristwatches. It was almost lost in the crowd. After a night of tossing and turning, I went back and took a look at the movement and other details. The only things it looks like it needs to get it back to more of its original condition is to replace the crown (does not look like some of the original crowns in the archives) and the strap and buckle are not IWC issued at all. I will be in CH in February for my annual ski holiday and will stop off in Schaffhausen to leave it for a complete check up and overhaul. It is running very nicely right now, however.This year has been a remarkable for me. I acquired an Ingenieur, the new Laureus, the new Saint Exupery and lastly the RG Portuguese Perpetual Calendar. The cal 89 will join these new ones plus my 5001. I will get some photos of the movement tomorrow when I go back to the AD to have the case opened for the photo op. Happy holidays to all,Bill

How does Nixon watches stand?
Hello, greetings from Norway! This is my first post, so be kind. For the last year people around me has started buying what the call ''Insane expensive watches'' and everytime i ask them what kind of brand they have, they say: Isn't that obvisious? Nixon of course! I always try to convince them that they should go to the Swiss route, but it's all about Nixon. This is people in the 15-18 years old range, i'm 17.To my question: How is Nixon in quality, price and valuable to other mid-range brands like Certina, Longines, Tissot etc? In the 500-1000 $ range.Me myself has a Tissot Chronographs G10 with GITD on the counters, and i'm very happy with it. It's good looking and isn't too large. And also, can i get your thoughts on my watch? The G10. Thanks,Mathias

Project Watch Club - The Hamilton Brent (repost from GDF)
Again, a repost concerning my Hamilton Brent-B from the General Discussion Forum. Thought there may be interest here for obvious reasons... Enjoy!BYou may have seen my recent post about a watch I refinished for my boss (Hamilton Paige). As mentioned in that post, it was a lot of fun to see a neglected and non-working watch turn into something special. Also noted in that post was another project watch completed at the same time - a Hamilton Brent-B (1952).It is no secret, I am a Hamilton guy. I like the modern Hamiltons and have my share. My interest in the vintage Hamiltons is growing. I am trying to pace myself and find a particular interest, not just "old Hamilton" watches. Truth be told - this watch was not even on the radar for me. But honestly, wouldn't you buy your namesake watch as a WIS? I remember thinking, "Really? There is a watched called 'Brent'?""It was one of those things that a routine search pulled up - and I hadn't seen one before. It was obvious that this
