IWC Three-Hand Ingenieur Sport Watches For 2013
Perhaps IWC's new 40mm wide Ingenieur dress watch was the most talked about new Ingenieur piece for 2013, but for those who like larger sport watches, these more simple-dialed Ingenieur pieces will fit the bill. Whether it is a phase or just because I like loud watches, I fully appreciate smaller dress watches, but simply have so little time in my life to wear them. When choosing a watch to wear on a daily basis, I tend to opt for three-hand sport watches that are at least 42-44mm wide. Knowing that about myself makes me pay close attention to those new watches that would probably see a lot of time on my wrist. At SIHH 2013, IWC debuted two such models, the Ingenieur Automatic AMG Black Series Ceramic and the Ingeniuer Automatic Carbon Performance.Both of these watches have a lot in common. Most important to IWC is probably that they are each produced as part of the brand's relationship with the Mercedes AMG Pertronas race team that competes in Formula 1 races. IWC more or less transfo

For those 5070 lovers ...
Not my watch, I don't think they are available already. But as a first post I think this is the best I can do !I confess, I'm baised when talking about this most beautifull watch PP EVER made :) :) :)

Chevalier!
Here is a Very Special Treat for the New Year...An Odd watch, that is SO Stunning in Real life,it is hard to describe.This is The Illinois "Chevalier"With Black Enamel and PORCELAIN Dial.(1928)(FF) The Chevalier-type watch was made by many manufacturers...Waltham and Elgin issued watches in similar cases as did several Swiss companies.Here is an old "Waltham" ad from Nov. 1928The Watch came in Blue and Black Bezels.The rarity of this particular watch is it's DIAL.There are only 4 known Porcelain Illinois dials. (FF)(This may be the 5th)Dimentions:37X31mmThe slight hairline crack is a welcomed sight (believe it or not) showing that it is in fact, porcelain.When I asked my good buddy about this watch, the first thing he said was"I hope the dial has some hairlines on it!"It Does!This watch case was very susceptible to "Pitting"this one is very clean.FF Notes:Price when new: $25Price today: $350 to $750 (fair to excellent condition)Add $500 for Porcelain DialBlue rarer than Black2/6 Black6

Hey guys. Help needed on my first Omega purchase - a Speedmaster
Hey guys, hope you are all doing well.I have to start by saying that I am relatively new in the watch world.I have currently a Rolex SS Sub, and a Patek Aquanaut.Both watches that I enjoy and wear a lot.After much consideration, and lurking around, I want to add more complications to my collection over the years, and I would love to start with a Chrono.At first I was thinking of a Daytona. In all honesty, I didn't fall in love with it as much as others have, it just didn't sing to me as much.Then I cam across the speed master. I absolutely love the history of that piece. Omega brings more diversity to my collection which I also like.I just see so many different versions, and am a little lost on which ones are the more admired ones.How does one pick from so many different versions.Are the numbered edition special?I have recently seen one on a leather strap.Appreciate your help and thank you!

Issue with my 5167 should I care to take it to Patek?
As some of you know I bought a lovely 5167 and I love the watch.. All my other watches are locked away indefinatly.. Yesterday on the 23'rd my day was not completly in the datebox. 2/3 of it was on 23 and 1/3 still on 22. Today on the 24th it is fine again.. I am not a stickler that is going to go crazy or lose sleep over it but I also do not want it to turn into a larger problem when the watch in out of warrenty. The watch is not even 6 months old yet but I am the 2nd owner but that should not be a issue for the warrenty correct? I also do not want to be without the watch for weeks or months so what would you do? Did anyone ever notice this on there 5167?
