Three Decades of Shocks: Casio Launches 30th Anniversary G-Shock Models
In 1983, Casio launched its first G-Shock watch, a product that reinvented the image of the digital wristwatch and, with its unprecedented shock-resistant case, revolutionized watch case design as well. This year, the Japanese brand kicks off a year-long celebration of its most iconic timepiece leading up to the G-Shock’s 30th anniversary in 2013. The first wave, introduced at Casio’s “Shock the World” event in New York last week, is a quintet of limited-edition models in some of the most popular G-Shock styles (“the best-selling styles over the past 30 years,” according to Casio America chairman and CEO Shigenori Itoh), all sporting distinctive red gloss or matte red finishes. Identifying each of these new watches as an anniversary piece is a special caseback with an engraved 30th anniversary logo designed by graffiti artist Eric Haze.The most noteworthy (and most expensive) piece in the anniversary collection is a version of the popular Frogman mod

Breitling Navitimer World - History, Tips, Advice
Hello,I'm new to this site, but I thought I would post a short note. Just got my first high-end watch; a Breitling Navitimer World. As a professional pilot, this is pretty much my dream watch (I also considered the Cosmonaut and the Omega Speedmaster moon watch. The IWC Big Pilot Watch is out of my price range).Any advice on care, maintenance, model specific tips or things to watch out for?Can anyone give me a brief history on this watch? Thanks in advance! Enjoy attached pics.

Almost a complete turnover of my collection!
I think I've gotten a feel now for what I really like in a watch, and it has surprised me.What gets the most wrist time now are a Debaufre Triton, a Seiko Premier Kinetic with separate power reserve indicator, a Seiko Kinetic GMT, and a Seiko Kinetic Arctura. I still have my 1995 Tissot quartz, late 80's Seiko SQ100 moon phase, my mood Mickey and my G-Shock. For dressier occasions I have a vintage Benrus being revitalized by a WTF member and I'm working on a vintage Bulova deal with another WTF member. The only thing I feel I'm missing is a chronograph (the G-Shock has a chrono function, I think, but I'd like a nicer, non beater one).The most interesting thing about these ramblings? Everything could change at any time!Any suggestions for an affordable non-diver chrono? How about the Sea Gulls? Affordable vintage? Maybe a quartz Hamilton Jazzmaster or a Seiko Kinetic?I guess it's obvious I've become very fond of Seiko Kinrtic...Any comments welcome and any recommendations appreciated!

Great job, Orient, on my watch repair
I put my Orient in the mail April 10th and got it back today, which I think is a decently fast turn around. (here's my original post: watchtalkforums.info/foru...htm#post595972)The problem was that when you turned the crown to wind it, nothing happened. When I originally bought it, I think I read movement description and thought the only way to wind it was though wrist movement, which made me like it a bit less....A few months later, I was reading the description of the watch at Orient, and it specifically said it could wound by hand. That's when I contacted Orient.Anyway, it came back in perfect shape. No scratches, abrasions, or any damage whatsoever, and of course, it now winds by hand!So, good job Orient on, a). fixing the problem, b). doing it quickly, and c). not damaging it with scratches.

New arrival of a old daytona 116520
I am fortunate to find a used 116520 fullset with a reasonable price. I am trying to find the early year of black 116520 due to the following: 1.thin hands,2.the sub-dial rings are actually thinner than the newer model as well to fit the thin hands like 16520,3.more like a grey color less reflective sub dial rings instead of the colorful one in later 116520,4.the silver hour markers are more flat and not as reflective as the newer models, 5.the words and minute markers are super bold and serif, this makes a big contrast to the black dial. Overall makes this early 2003 more old school.My rolex daytona 116520 by T C, 於 FlickrMy rolex daytona 116520 by T C, 於 FlickrHere is my collection so far ��My watch collection by T C, 於 FlickrThanks for the looking.
