Bremont ALT1-WT World Time Watch
For all intents and purpose this new Bremont ALT1-WT is the commercial version of the exclusive Bremont C-17 Globemaster watch that I discussed here. While the C-17 (C17) Globemaster was not to be available for public purchase, the ALT1-WT will be. The watch takes the brand's signature aviator style and adds a world time bezel and GMT indicator into the mix of complications. It makes for a very good travel watch and I am glad that Bremont decided to offer a version of the Globemaster for "everyone else."The ALT1-WT will be positioned as one of Bremont's new for 2012 watch models. But there will be other models as well. The differences between this model and the Globemaster are minor - being mostly the caseback and dial changes as far as I can tell. Bremont makes it clear that this watch is an adoption of the C-17 Globemaster. The case done with specially hardened steel and is 43mm wide. The most recognizable element is the rotating city ring that is to be used in conjunction with the 2

Found: A Patek Philippe Split-Seconds Chronograph Signed By Tiffany & Co. In Completely Original Condition
Every watch guy's dream is to go up into his grandparents' attic, open up a dust covered shoe box, and discover an unmolested horological masterpiece. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. And that is exactly what happened here with what could easily be described as a mega watch - a Patek Philippe Reference 1436 Split-Seconds Chronograph Retailed By Tiffany & Co. in NYC dating to 1960. And, what makes this particular piece so special is that it is literally untouched and unmodified in any way. It comes with the original crystal, strap, and buckle, and the thing hadn't even been serviced!Made in 1960 and sold by Tiffany's NYC in 1961, it doesn't get much cooler than a vintage Patek split-seconds chronograph. There is something so masculine about the split complication, and to see it on such a refined piece like a 1960s Patek is just a wonderful juxtaposition. The estimate on this piece is $200,000-$300,000, which to us, considering the condition, se

Looking for White Dial Seamaster
Hi, I'm new here but I am on some other watch forums and very active on some boating forums. I have a nice collection that I thinned out a little this summer but still have a few Rolex, Panerai, Tag, and Breitlings left. I live in the Tampa FL area.My 1st nice watch was a Omega Seamaster 300m Professional Chronograph with a white dial my wife bought me in the summer of 1998. That watch and I went through a lot. For some stupid reason I sold it 3 years ago. Out of all the watches I have sold over the years I wish I had this one back!I have never seen another one until recently on an other forum. I've tried to contact the owner because it has been sold a few times. Maybe it was mine , not sure though. I'd like to find another so I am posting here to see if anyone knows of this watch.Thanks, Mike

PVC/DLC coating recommendations?
I have a friend who's looking to have a 116710 done in all matte black. Watch head and bracelet. I'm out of the loop on having watches coated, and done a few google searches and haven't come up with anything solid. Any recommendations and or pictures of finished products? I'd like to find a company with a long history and strong reputation, not a fly by night new start, as I think I'm gonna have this done for him for his birthday. With time as a consideration, what's the average turn around time on something like this? Thanks William.
