The Ferrari Speedmaster Chronography for instance has earned a name for itself
When it came to precision swiss watch manufacturing Ferrari has always been the forerunner. The Ferrari Speedmaster Chronography for instance has earned a name for itself for being the first watch that was worn to moon. During the 1960s the North American Space Association (NASA) consistently used these hand-wound mechanical Speedmaster wrist watches for all their missions in the outer space. This fact in itself bears a pertinent testimony to the superior function and design of the Ferrari watches.

Mr Tony,
:):)I'm not sure where it is exactly, but I'm sure Mr Houston or Mr J. knows where we can find the article on the testing that was done before the Speedy was space qualified. the Speedy went through some very rigorous testing for sure..we'll see if we can find that, it's information well worth revisitingdiver88:):)

UK price increase
Guys, Went to AD in Edinburgh mid-week and seen that Omega have raised their prices by 12% (on top of 2 1/2% VAT rise in January). Last year I negotiated a 17 1/2% reduction on the then price of my Aqua Terra Chronograph. Even then I struggled to meet the purchase price. If I delayed the purchase to this year, and even if I negotiated a similar discount, I probably wouldn't have been able to afford my watch.I know that yearly sales figures must be sufficient to legislate for such a price hike, but surely a high volume of potential purchasers are being outpriced?On a slightly different note, I'm assuming that as retail prices go up annually that there must be a relative rise in second hand values? This is wishful thinking more than anything else!

White or Blue - What do you prefer??
On a RO (any 15xxx) do you prefer a white dial or blue? Vote away and options as well please.

Trade a Rose Gold Panerai 497....I have problem. Trade?
My name is Pierson and I have a problem.... I'm ADD and even when i get my dream watch I keep looking at others. I've got a feeling that I should be in good company here. So, I own an awesome 10 Day Radiomir, the PAM 497. One of 250 made, rose gold, yada yada yada....and have been eying a swap for the Rolex Daytona Meteorite, gold, strap version. Should I? Basically a straight up trade. If it was the bracelet version i'd do it in a heartbeat. I do have a thing for space/nasa stuff. I'd kill to own a Omega Snoopy if anyone has one lying around ;)
