Hublot Big Bang King Palladium Men's Watch 322.LX.100.RX

I went to an Omega AD to look at the PO XL and I was very surprised to see the
stutter the sweep had exhibited. Given the retail price of this watch should it not have a smoother sweep hand?

Reflections on Omega
From readings in my travels on the ¡° information super highway ¡± I gather that the 55X and 56X movements were the best Omega had produced and back then Omegas were every bit as good and probably better than their Rolex counterparts. Certainly both companies produced watches of an equal quality and both were equally well respected.Trouble beckoned with the arrival of quartz technology which wreaked havoc among producers in the Swiss industry. In an effort to stem the tide of sales and combat the new technology, Omega went to lengths in creating perhaps what were outlandish designs and indeed too many of them, with the majority using quartz and tuning fork movements. In addition they ceased producing their quality in house movements with the effect of devaluing public perception of the brand.Like BlancpaiN, Rolex maintained production of their mechanical movements and kudos to them for that. When indeed interest was revived in mechanical movements, apart from a few products like the Spe

1965 Hamilton Edwin Time Capsule
I thought I'd post this watch for the 60's fans! I first noticed it in Tom's new 60's calendars and when one popped up on the swamp, I had to have it! This model first appeared in the 1965 catalog and continued until the 68/69 catalog. It is unique in that, with the Whitney, it is the last "new" design to be included in the Medallion line and receive the 770 movement.The listing said that it was new old stock After it arrived, it is clear that the watch was owned by somebody for a while, but that he took good care of it and kept everything. The crystal has obviously been replaced (with a sloppy glue job, no less) and the bracelet is a period Speidel replacement. Still, it is a pretty nice looking watch though I may send it to the watch doctor to clean up the crystal. A very cool thing is that most of paperwork and boxes came with the watch so it it like a 1965 time capsule including two boxes, the "Certificate of Quality", the display card, and the original extra crystal. I've in

Ventura no!
I will admit that I am kind of slow about saying anything negative about a watch design because you have to worry about being called a "basher"!I have to admit however I feel more comfortable here in doing so as I feel most of you are open to thoughts and feelings that go against the grain.Am I alone in this? While I have great admiration for several Hamilton models, this line, the ventura's does nothing for me. In fact I just do not like it at all!So what do you say, yes, or no?

New GMT MASTER II looks great??
I have seen the new GMT Master II launched this week and have already asked my AD to put my name forward for one if they get any in this year.I think it looks great in SS and the jubilee bracelet compliments it in my opinion. I think it is also very reasonably priced and should hold its value.I like to get the opinion of the forum and whether its worth the investment of purchasing it?
