More from Watches & Wonders: New IWC Portofino Models Debut
IWC Schaffhausen introduced three new models in its Portofino collection at the recent Watches & Wonders salon in Hong Kong. They include the Hand-Wound Day & Date (Ref. IW516201 in stainless steel and IW516203 in rose gold), the Automatic Moon Phase 37 (Ref. IW459007) and two new Portofino Automatic 37 models (Ref. IW458111/12) with colored straps ¨C which is something of an emerging trend in luxury watches.Portofino is IWC¡¯s elegant, vintage-inspired collection, with large, round, polished cases and clean, pure dials. The new IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Day & Date contains the brand¡¯s in-house, manual-wound Caliber 59220, with day and date complications added. There is certainly plenty of room for the extra indications on the generous 45-mm dial without disturbing the sleek, uncluttered aesthetic. Functions include the day of the week on a subdial at 3 o¡¯clock, power-reserve indicator at 8 o¡¯clock, small seconds subdial at 6 o¡¯clock, and an extra-large date at 12 o¡¯clock, a f

Zodiac Sea Dragon Limited Edition Watch In Bright Retro Colors
Zodiac is a Swiss brand with considerable heritage being founded in 1882 as Ariste Calame and registered in 1908 as Zodiac. Today the brand is continued under ownership from the Fossil Group. Zodiac had been a well-established manufacturer with quite some following thanks to its coveted lines of watches such as the - sadly discontinued - Sea Wolf, first introduced in 1953. Fossil, being the fashion-watch manufacturer giant as it is (making watches for DKNY, Emporio Armani, Michael Kors and many others), gave Zodiac a go in the fashion-watch market.?Now, with their newest Limited Edition Sea Dragon collection, they are about to follow two of the latest trends of the industry: retro styling and vibrant colors.We have not heard from Zodiac for quite some time now, and it's true that there have been some ups and downs in their previous collections.?They have been doing some very modern and generously sized (50-52mm) timepieces lately, like those in the Special Ops or the Sea Dragon collect

Experimentations before I go off to see Watson
OK, Jeopardy is on and Watson the computer is challenging 2 humans but that is not the experiment I just did. First, I just removed a fixed end watchband trying to use the tools in that cheap kit mentioned in a previous thread. I could not fit the springbar tool into the slot so I had to grind down the outside which did not work as well as the screwdriver I had to grind down the sides. The other experiment was to address my "springing" springbars. Scott Allison of timesofplenty heard of my problem and sent me a pair of 25mm (uncompressed) so I tried themthey are a little too long. My 20mm band springbars are 22.2mm (uncompressed) so I am going to try a pair of 21mm springbars to see it they work. My logic is that if 20mm springbars are 22.2mm and I suspect the 25mm are for a 22mm band a 21mm band springbar should be around 23mm which might work.Scott was really nice to send me a set to try this experimentI appreciate his action and the idea that a member of the forum would do suc

Year of this Omega?
I'm trying to identify the year of some of my father's watches. This Constellation is gold without the original watch band. It may have been purchased in the 1950s or 1960s. Thanks, K

New 5960's
What do we think of the 2 new 5960's? I kinda like the bkue dial on strap, if I was looking for a cool chrono with AC I would definitely consider it. Anyone wanting to take the plunge on one?Just wonder how will prices hold as we know they haven't been great on the other 5960's, but for an interesting Patek with complications, at a reasonable price, it is quite in a hard range to beat IMG_0388.PNGIMG_0389.PNGIMG_0390.PNG
