SIHH: The Lange 1815 Moonphase Returns
2010 is Lange’s 165th anniversary, and to mark the occasion they are creating new versions of 3 well-known models in a new metal called honey gold, which is not only a unique color, but it is also nearly twice as hard as regular gold. Together, the new models are known as the F. A. Lange Homage Collection. Among the new releases is an 1815 Moonphase. The original 1815 Moonphase limited edition from 1999 was a hit with collectors, selling at auction for nearly triple the original selling price. This newest version will certainly carry on that tradition. Limited to 265 pieces and with a European MSRP of 18,500 euro, the new 1815 Moonphase case and balance cock are formed from Lange’s new and proprietary honey gold. Like the other pieces in the Homage to F.A. Lange Collection, the 1815 Moonphase also features three-quarter plate with hand-engraved traditional decoration. Of course the moon phase display is accurate to an amazing 1 day in 1058 yearsplete technical specification

Gavox Squadron Review
The last Gavox watches we took a look at were a couple of really cool, kind of different, Marine style pieces. Powered by Miyota automatics with price tags under $500, they were very compelling. Following up these pieces, Gavox has gone a pretty different direction, from a fun and playful take on something classic, to a serious attempt at a military pilot's watch.What immediately sets the new Squadron watches apart from others in the stylistic vein, is that they were made at the request of the Belgian Air Force and designed to their specifications. A total of 65 watches were made an issued to Air Force pilots, 15? for 15th Wing in Melsbroek and? 50 for the 350th squadron at Florenne. These watches are distinguished by the special emblems on their dials. Checkout this great gallery of images of Belgian Air Force Pilots with their Gavox Squadrons.The civilian version of the watch lack an emblem and is an edition of 500. Design-wise, they clearly speak to a lineage of European military pi

introduction and a question
first off, i'm returning to the watch community after a 3+ year hiatus (had a major life event that sidetracked me from a lot of activities). Anyway, it didn't take 30 minutes of browsing on one of the sales boards to fully awaken the old addiction.One watch i always intended to pickup was a 42mm Planet Ocean and for some reason never got around to it. I've been noticing them on the sales boards, and a couple with notations they had come back from a warranty svc. I didn't think much about it till i was talking to someone this afternoon, a hobby watchmaker who seemed intelligent enough but he indicated the Cal 2500 co-axial movements have issues - is there any truth to this?I've had a few Omegas and love them, as well as the svc folks at Omega Switzerland.If this question opens old wounds or it's an issue that going to get folks blood pressure up, my apologies in advance - that's not my intent. Just want to know before i pull the trigger on one.BTW, reading the review on the new blue PO
