Patek Philippe Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph 5990/1A Watch In Steel
Steel lovers can rejoice as 2014 is about high-complication steel models from Patek such as this new Nautilus ref. 5990/1A. When it comes to Patek Philippe, the Nautilus design is one that needs no introduction. ?While I wouldn't consider myself an expert on the brand, I am fairly certain that their latest definitely has some new tricks up its sleeve.With the name "Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph" (ref. 5990/1A), I think the astute observer will recognize what sort of complications we're dealing with. ?I want to focus on the "travel time" portion of the name first, as it's one of the more innovative approaches I've seen as of late.To track the two different time zones, Patek has actually gone with two hour hands. ?The skeletonized one is for tracking your home time zone, while the solid one tracks the local hour. ?This accomplishes two things quite handily.First, when you're still at home, the solid hour hand covers the hollowed-out one, and no one's the wiser. ?When you're traveling,

Arnold & Son TB88 "Inside Out" Watch
Now, here is an interesting new watch that I wasn't expecting from UK based Arnold & Son. The concept is that the movement is "inside out," well sort of. Basically what you see on the dial is typically what you would see on the rear of the watch. Arnold & Son isn't the first to offer a watch that applies this concept, but their new TB88 does that and has a few more tricks up its (exposed) sleeve."TB88" sounds like some super mutated version of tuberculosis. I don't want to contract TB88! There should have been a better name. TB actually stands for "True Beat," which is Arnold and Son's way of saying dead-beat seconds. This complication has been given a lot of names over the years. It refers to a seconds hand that ticks, but is part of a mechanical, not a quartz watch. Ticking seconds hands have been around for a long time, but since quartz watches came around people began to associate them with cheap timepieces. So any mechanical watch that wanted to use a ticking seconds hand

Looking for a users manual for 26320
Hey all, I am trying to track down a users manual. For a ss 26320. I don't believe AP will sell replacements. Can anyone confirm this and does anyone have any other ideas how I could procure such an item?

Got my 50's bumper back from service =)
So I have had this Omega 52' Seamaster Bumper Caliber ever since i was a young lad (My grandfathers). To my knowledge it was not serviced for at least 30 years?? maybe ever if that's possible? It still worked (somewhat) but would stop periodically, lose massive amounts of time daily and did not make a nice sound when winding. Anyway I felt for the little guy and decided to throw him a life raft and give him a chance for many more years. Just got it back, most likely spent more on the service/restoration than the watch is worth but what the heck. Sometimes its nice to see an old friend rather than a new one. Tell me what you think, first is the before shot. beforephoto (3).jpgAfter:photo (1).jpgphoto (2).jpgphoto (4).jpg
