Tudor Fastrider Watch For Ducati Motorcycles
Tudor's place is found. It will make the cheeky sport watches - that will sell well - that Rolex will never make. If Rolex is the staunch, unwavering meritocracy of tried and true design, then Tudor will be the ever-so-slightly rebellious younger brother that likes to have just a bit more fun - within the confines of "good taste" that is.Tudor recently was announced as the "official timing partner' of Ducati Motorcycles. I don't know Ducati's official timing partner will do, but you can sure they will make watches (that is for sure). Sounds a lot like a fancy marketing name. To begin this relationship Tudor has released the Fastrider watch. It is a sporty racing watch with a slightly retro feel and a healthy amount of personality. It also won't be sold in the US (officially).One thing the Fastrider watch lacks (at least on the dial) is any mention of Ducati. This is actually a good idea, as co-branding on watch dials is usually in poor taste. Save that for the caseback (if at all). Wit

You Know, I Just Don't Care...
On December 1, I will have been a member here for two years.In those two years, I¡¯ve read countless posts regarding the accuracy of automatic and mechanical watches. I own both, so I¡¯ve read them with some interest.At the end of the day, though, it¡¯s not something I really care about. If I take a watch off my winder, and it¡¯s a few minutes slow or fast, I reset it. I honestly don¡¯t think about how the watch should be keeping better time. I just change the time and go about my day. During the day, they keep proper time. If someone asks me what time it is, and I look at my watch and say ¡°It¡¯s two o¡¯clock¡±, you can bet that it¡¯s two o¡¯clock.Is there something wrong with me? I mean, yeah, there are a myriad of things that are wrong with me, but is not really caring about the accuracy of my watches one of them?

Help! My brand new luminox watch glows very dimly
Just bought a luminox model 3053 from an authorized dealer today. I been hearing about its night glow intensity therefore made the purchase. When I tried it on at night with all lights off, I was shocked to see that it glows very dimly. Even more dimly than my tag heuer and Oris watches. Is there anything wrong with my luminox watch? Please help.

Common, or issue?
I just received my Hamilton Jazzmaster Day/Date, and wound it about 20 turns and it didn't start. The rotor moves a bit when winding, so it's apparently doing something. I gave it the smallest shake and it started running.Thoughts? I would have expected it to start running from the manual winding, but if it's been sitting unused for a while would this be normal?
