Watch Insider Reviews the Longines Heritage Diver
In this article from my blog, Watch-Insider, I take a look at the Longines Heritage Diver watches, released last summer, which are re-issued versions of Longines watches for divers produced in the 1970s. Like the original models, these new Longines dive watches have a case diameter of 43 mm and some of the same distinctive dial details.Longines was always a supplier of reliable wristwatches for adventures in the sky, on earth and under water. In the 1950s, Longines supplied measuring instruments for the bathyscaphe Trieste, which set a diving record in 1953. In addition to technical equipment, Longines also produced robust and reliable watches intended for use by keen amateur divers to explore the underwater world. Two such models, dating from the 1970s, have been taken as inspiration for the Longines Heritage Diver.Available in two versions, one a three-hand and the other a chronograph, these new models boast a black, satin-finish dial that elegantly combines red highlights with detai

Rough value of this 2001 Omega Shumacher Speedmaster?
A friend is trying to sell me his 2001 Speedmaster, Michael Schumacher edition. He's asking $1800 for it. Is this a good price? Personally, I'm not a fan of the yellow face, but I'd buy it if it's a good price and might increase in value. Great condition, all original papers, packaging. I'll be happy to post more information if you need. Thanks!Speedmaster.jpg

INCOMING!!! Ladies Citizen Eco-Drive for my wife
She first saw this in an ad on TV during the US Open earlier this month. She liked it enough to draw my attention to it (always dicey as I tend to "get invovled" where watches are concerned;) ).During our recent trip to the Seiko store where I purchased my Orange Monster, she noticed another Seiko ladies model she liked. So that may be incoming when I get back from Munich (away next week for meetings and Oktoberfest).Today, while gathering info for my book, I bought her the Citizen she wanted. :)Fact - the book is titled Turning Clicks into Conversions (McGraw-Hill, March 2010), and one section was to be on e-tailer check out systems. I bought some watch repair tools through Amazon and this watch through Blue Dial (no offence to the folks advertised here, but NONE of them had the pink faced model she wanted shown on thier websites, so...). The idea was to capture what a good check out system looks like - what th eprocess was like. Both examples were super smooth and made me feel g

How many watches are REALLY in your collection?
OK everyone,We've done the 'how many do you have poll', but how about 'how many do you have that you really wear'? Forget the plastic Batman watch you have in the box that hasn't seen light of day in 15 years Or the watch that broke 10 years ago & you keep swearing you're gonna fix it next weekend.How many watches do you have in your collection that you really wear on any frequency (at least once a year).So let's hear it.. If you only have 1 or 2, why? What's it about that model (or 2) that really satisfies your watch fix? If you have bunches why's that? What is it that makes you unable to commit to watch-monogamy?Let's hear your thoughts!!
