It¡¯s been a long time coming, but it is finally here. Well, almost - it will actually go on sale only next year. Just days ago, Apple finally lifted the veil off its new smart watch, which is simply called the Apple Watch. Now, and even before it was unveiled, many are calling it the game changer, believing that it will have a profound and massive impact on the wearable technology industry. They are probably right; the watch is well made, looks relatively stylish, and has some good functionality. But what does it mean for the rest of the watch industry? Well, our Editor-in-Chief and founder Ariel weighs in with his thoughts.Apart from the Apple Watch, we also check out another ¡°smart¡± watch, albeit a more traditional one, in the form of Casio¡¯s MRG-G1000. Find out why?it is called the ultimate G-Shock in our hands-on article. Other new watches we checked out recently include Zenith¡¯s very vintage-looking Pilot Montre d¡¯Aeronef Type 20 GMT 1903, Cartier¡¯s new Calibre Diver, and a person

A friend of mine has asked him to help him find a "real" watch at his wife's constant requests. He has settled on the GMT Master II. He found one on ebay, and I thought I would ask you guys to have a look at it to make sure he isn't get a bad deal. Thanks for any assistance or suggestions.Link to commercial ebay seller who is not a WTF Forum Sponsor Removed

Riddle me this WISman!!
We wear exotic dialed watches.We wear diamond studded watches.We wear watches that are outrageously large.We wear brightly colored watches.We wear all sorts of "Hey look at me!!" watches.We wear bracelets and rings to compiment our watches.It seems to me that a majority of WIS love the compliments on their watch of choice and the attention that their "adornments" receive .(though I rarely, if ever, get "watch compliments") So why do most attention loving WIS feel that wearing a watch on each wrist is so odd??I have seen multiple rings and other adornments.At the GTG I attended last year many wore 2 watches and it looked perfectly normal (through the eyes of a WIS)I'm not talking Nick Hayek stuffBut what's wrong with being dedicated to the passion that we all have?I feel that wearing a watch on each wrist is less obvious than wearing a 50+ mm watch on one wrist.Either way,people are going to notice.

Caseback question
So I recently put some money down on a 42mm 2500 Planet Ocean at my Local AD. I got a fantastic deal on it better than used prices are going for here so needless to say I'm pretty happy so far.Now for the question I see that the new 42mm Ceramic models have a clear caseback. Would I be able to have my AD actually order a clear Case Back from Omega and install it on the watch? I wasn't sure if case sized are anything were different from the 42mm 2500 to the 42mm 8500. Any tips would be great thanks
