Introducing The Rotonde de Cartier Chronograph, 40mm And Just Right (Live Pics, Specs, Official Pricing)
This is the chronograph we have been waiting for from Cartier. The Rotonde de Cartier Chronograph is round, 40 mm in diameter, uses Cartier's great in-house caliber 1904-CH, and looks fantastic. 2 OF 4 When we reviewed the Calibre de Cartier Chronograph here, we agreed that though the merits of the excellent in-house chronograph movement were very real selling points, there was a lack of design cohesiveness throughout the piece ¨C?seen primarily on the dial. Here, the Rotonde de Cartier Chronograph provides us with a more balanced, traditional dial with the full Roman numeral treatment, silvered outer minute track, and Breguet hands. 3 OF 4 The 40 mm case is wonderfully balanced, and the rectangular pushers are incredibly subtle from the front of the case looking at the watch. Inside the Rotonde de Cartier Chronograph is the same great 1904-CH self-winding movement from the Calibre Chrono. Here though, it actually fills up more of the case than with the Calib

Rolex Datejust year??
Hello all,A friend of mine came to me trying to sell what I see as an ooold Datejust. It es a SS/gold model.. Model#1601, serial#2838825.. He is selling for $2500.. To me it sounds hi!

Also the inside of the bracelete clasp it reads "stainless steel, Rolex, 14K trim, USA"..Can someone tell me a bit of history on this modelTipe of gold used, crystal type, date of manufacture, etc???Ed

AP Movement issue
Today I have found out that my ROO grey theme has stopped running even though it has been on winder.I took it out and winded it 50 times. It started running and I played around with the chrono. It stopped around 10secs. I tried again and this time it stopped around 45secs. I tried the 3rd time and it stopped around 4mins.I just tried the 4th time and it is now 30mins and still running.Whenever it stopped, the second hand also stopped! Has anyone encountered this problem before? I am quite reluctant to send in for 3-4 weeks as this watch is only one month old..Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In house or not?
Is a watch having in house movement a plus, a must or you don't care?Some of the most seemed and valuable watches don't have in house movements, most highly collectable Pams don't and just have ETA, the AP Jumbo has a JLC base movement, the Patek 5970 and 5070 have Lemania base movements, it doesn't mean that in house the movement will be better, some great watches have non in house movements.So for me if a watch's movement is not in house it's absolutely not a deal breaker, but I do prefer one which does have it as for me an in-house movement means that the manufacture has reached a certain level in the horological art and is capable of making their own watches from A to Z without any outside help.I know that usually when people start to be interested in watches if they go for pieces 5K and up it's obligatory to have the in house movement, but more experienced watch lovers understand that it's just a part of the process and that even if the brands get movements from other companies th

Omega GMT package
I've had this Omega for a week and, the whole package is a pretty well put together.The white outer box is made from solid thick white cardboard, with a compartment for the warranty cards, instruction book (hardback) and of course the watch.The watch itself is housed in the inner box of soft red leather.The watch with positional adjustment overnight is about +1 second per day. Given that the watch was purchased used and had traveled internationally in the mail, then I dropped it onto a wooden floor, I think that is quite exceptional timekeeping (at least in the short period I've owned it).Now I'm waiting for the original COSC results/certificate which for the enthusiast and those technically minded is one hell of a bonus The sword hands and the nicely sized GMT hands really add to the pleasure of this watch, making it highly visible in any lighting conditions.The wave pattern on the dial is a very interesting effect, although it looks quite dominating in the photographs it is very sub
