Omegas new model numbers "long PICs"
Omega has since about 1990 used what they now call a 'short PIC' of 8 characters. There are several locations where they are explained. Try here home.xnet/~cmaddox/omega/...omega_pic.htmlfor one on Chuck Maddox's amazing site. The short explanation is UVWW.XY.ZZ: U collection, 2 for Seamaster, 3 for Speedmaster, etc. V case metal and strap/bracelet code W product variations X dial color Y hour markers Z strap color and variation - Now there are 'long PICs' which are 14 characters AAA.BB.CC.DD.EE.FFF collection||case/strap||size||movement/complictions||dial||counterAAA - the same three digit collection code as used presently. Huh? I didn't know of three digit collection codes, did you?

Victorinox Classic Infantry Vintage Mechanical
Already posted this in the General forum.I really like the looks of this watch. The dial is all business, and the current time is what it is all about. The dial has an etched pattern where the raised Arabic numerals are placed, and inside that, the hunter green face is treated to a sunray finish. I especially am fond of the treatment of the second hands at the 6 o'clock position, which is highlighted by an encompassing raised metal circle, and thick ring of off white paint.The case and bezel are brushed, except for a polished 2mm ring.The caseback is all exhibition and it is almost as beautiful as looking at the dial. Even though the movement isn't finished, its mechanics seem like a work of art to me.The watch itself is 44mm, with a sapphire crystal treated with anti-reflective film. The movement is an ETA Unitas 6498.1, with 17 jewels and it runs at 18,000 VPH.Finally, the hands, numerals, and hour markers are treated with copious amounts of lume. Picked it at 6am this morning

Seamaster Chrono question
Hello all,I have to ask about the Seamaster Professional Chrono and the difference I have seen in the same blue model. Some, or I should say most, have the hour markings that are flat with lume on each and the other version I have spotted has the raised hour markers with lume. Since I am considering this to be my next purchase I want to be extra careful and not buy a bad one. Any help in advice to not buy fake would be very appreciated.Thanks all.

Wow not many watches make an AP look small.
I¡¯ve been wanting a Panerai for the last few months so my dealer got this in for me to try. At 47mm it¡¯s a very big watch but sadly I think it¡¯s just too big, my AP feels small in comparison. Anyway the fun in choosing a new watch is always narrowing down the search to the perfect watch and finding the one.I¡¯d welcome any advice from the experts!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
