A Week On The Wrist: The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe
This year is the 60th anniversary of Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms dive watch. To celebrate, Blancpain released the new Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe, a tribute to one of the best-known Fifty Fathoms from the late 1950s. The watch takes some design inspiration from the original while still being a thoroughly modern watch, and we had to take a closer look for ourselves. A week on the Cote d'Azure, where French Marine Nationale divers originally used the Fifty Fathoms, was the perfect excuse to spend some time with the new Bathyscaphe and here are my thoughts. 1 OF 47 The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe History of Fifty Fathoms The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms was the original modern dive watch. Yes, you read that correctly. While many people would instinctively give this title to the more well-known Rolex Submariner, the Fifty Fathoms actually debuted a number of innovations a year before the Submariner. While the first commerical Fifty Fathoms was released in 1

The Glash¨¹tte Original Senator Observer (Live Pics, Specs, Pricing)
Glashütte Original, like Zenith, may not win the praise of the most demanding collectors, but there is a quiet charm about them. Residing literally just next door to the other Glashütte-based high-end manufacture, GO goes about producing subtle and elegant wristwatches without much fuss or fanfare, but they are all excellently made, and all produced entirely in-house. Oh, and relative to their neighbors, they offer fantastic value. This new piece from GO is one of their strongest, most handsome offerings yet.? 1 OF 8 The clear winner of this year's introduction by Glashütte Original at Baselworld 2015 was the watch you see here – the Senator Observer, or GO's take on a deck watch. For the uninitiated, a deck watch was a hand-held pocket watch that navigators would use as backup to the ship's marine chronometer. Of course the chronometer was the standard by which all measurements were made, but a deck watch allowed all sailors to do their o

Louis Rossel Rolex ?
Good morning all. I am a member of the Equation of Time Forum. We collect Rado watches along with a great variety of other Swiss watches.Recently we have been doing a lot of research on a little known Swiss brand from the 70's called Louis Rossel. As part of our research we came across a 3525 Rolex with Louis Rossel on the dial. We were intrigued so did some more research but cannot find any other 3525's marked in this way. The 'louis Rossel' Rolex seems wrong to me but we are not au fait enough to say for certain. The sub-dials look flat instead of impressed, the numbers above 12 dont follow the same pattern as other 3525's however they do have same pattern as another Rolex Model. The patina looks wrong. The movement doesnt look quite the same as other 3525's.So it could be a Franken, or a complete fake or absolutely genuine.I wonder if you could clarify this for me? . Your words of wisdom would be very much appreciated.
