Belocia
Hello Everyone,I have a Belocia watch winder. Not a famous brand. My wife gave it to me as a Christmas present. It is not a high end winder, but it has proven to effectively wind my Omega and my Rolex without any problem.The cost is below USD 200, and I hope it doesn't give me any trouble soon.It also has a 5 watch compartment for quartz watches. That part is quite cheap because the divisions between each compartment are removable It can rotate clockwise as well as counterclockwise. You can also set it to alternate between these type of rotations.It has 4 timer functions: a) auto rotate 33 seconds, rest 12 minutes; b)auto rotate 10 min, rest 90 min; c) Auto rotate 30 min, rest 3 hrs and d) auto rotate 1 hr, rest 3 hrs.It has been working continuously since Dec-25-2008. Best,

The world of watches or watch on the world
At the close of Baselworld one of my clients in the consulting part of my business has asked me to dive into today¡¯s state of the various groups active in the watch industry.Some of my insights and opinions might be of interest to a larger audience as well and my client has given me permission to share my findings with a larger audience, too. Albeit in a shortened version.General RemarkThe economic downturn has been particularly savage in the watch industry. For years prior to the crisis the output has declined and the concentration had been steadily progressing already. However, the recession has brought dire straits for some of the groups as the output in the watch industry has been falling by up to 40% over the course of 2009.As in any event there are winners and there are those doing less well. I am therefore inclined to start with those groups loosing out and having or being in the process of finding new ways.The Groups Stumbling (in alphabetical order)The Italian group Gruppo Bin

Strap for speedmaster
Hey all - i was thinking about putting a black strap on my omega day/date chronograph. Without a microadjustment, the bracelet is always too small or too big.Do any of you have any experience with this? Or can you point me in the right direction of some place that can accomodate my needs. I think I might want it to be all original omega (clasp too).Thanks!

Flip SubC Date for 50th Anniversary Sea-Dweller...would you?
Hi all, I have a SubC Date that was my first Rolex (and gifted to me), now sitting around unworn for quite a while. My other two watches are a Hulk and a Batman, which I rotate. I'm more and more considering selling the Sub and getting a 50th Anniversary Sea-Dweller, cause it is similar to the Sub, but yet very different. With these thoughts, and a price difference of $5k, give or take, would you do it?Thanks!
