SIHH: The Lange 1815 Moonphase Returns
2010 is Lange’s 165th anniversary, and to mark the occasion they are creating new versions of 3 well-known models in a new metal called honey gold, which is not only a unique color, but it is also nearly twice as hard as regular gold. Together, the new models are known as the F. A. Lange Homage Collection. Among the new releases is an 1815 Moonphase. The original 1815 Moonphase limited edition from 1999 was a hit with collectors, selling at auction for nearly triple the original selling price. This newest version will certainly carry on that tradition. Limited to 265 pieces and with a European MSRP of 18,500 euro, the new 1815 Moonphase case and balance cock are formed from Lange’s new and proprietary honey gold. Like the other pieces in the Homage to F.A. Lange Collection, the 1815 Moonphase also features three-quarter plate with hand-engraved traditional decoration. Of course the moon phase display is accurate to an amazing 1 day in 1058 yearsplete technical specification

Rolex Engraving on the Side and Bezel Plastic Protection
Hi guystwo questions for the Rolex Experts.1) Since when Rolex started doing the engraving on the side of the watches I just got a SD M series Serial M156XXX and it does not have that engraving on the side, so I was wondering if the engraving is just in the plastic or actually in the side of the case.2) The plastic protector for the bezel.. is it meant to be used while you wear the watch or just when you put it in the box. I know this question will depend on the person wearing it.. but I can barely notice the plastic protection, so I started to wonder if it was made to be used while you wear the watch to protect the bezel from any scratches. I actually don't use it with the protection in it.Thanks.MVF

Speedmaster Classic back from servicing-finally!
I brought my watch to my AD and it was sent to the New Jersey Service Center. It took five weeks to get a price for servicing and just one week short of four months (including the five weeks) to get the watch back. I was beginning to get concerned, although I read on one of the forums that the centers had an unusually large number of watches in for work. In any event, I¡¯ve got to say that the finished product is awesome. Despite being about twenty years old, the watch came back looking brand new. Everything is working perfectly. I couldn¡¯t be happier! For those who may be interested, the watch was in excellent cosmetic condition when sent in, so no major items needed repair or replacement. In fact, I understand that this was basically a disassembly and cleaning only. The cost was $614 which I thought was reasonable, especially considering the complications that are part of this watch. Here are a few photos:

Butchered Tudor
What do we think of the Bucherer Tudor LE Blue. I think it's one of the best looking watches around.
