The Hublot Atelier: The Hublot for when your other Hublot is in the Shop.
One of the most traumatic and stressful events the owner of a nice watch can experience is the painful process of sending your precious watch off into the unchartered vagaries and perilous possibilities of a factory service. Hublot's trying to ease the pain a little.The lengthy and costly factory service is one of the joys of owning a mechanical watch, and people deal with it in various ways. Some weep every time they glance at their unadorned wrist, others use it as an opportunity to buy a replacement watch.?Servicing also seems to be the point that most strains the relationship between brand and loyal customer: the consumer's lack of control over the process, and over their own watch can lead to tension, and often angry posts on the internet, very easily.? 2 OF 2 Hublot, who, aside from doing 'fusion' very well, also do a very good job at building and maintaining communities, have recognised this. In a very clever move, they have announced an "Atelier Watch," the horolo

Tips for Collecting Vintage Hamiltons
I was asked to start a thread about collecting and caring for vintage Hamilton wristwatches. First, a bit about me and my collection - I¡¯ve been collecting them for about six years now and it runs the gamut from a 1926 Cushion Round Engraved (one of only twenty-eight manufactured in green gold fill and only the second one known to exist) to an early 1970¡¯s stainless steel blue dialed Swiss automatic Day ¡®n Date. The collection consists of wind-up movements, automatics, and electrics; gold filled, solid gold, and stainless steel; white, yellow, green, and coral colored cases. I have approximately 100 watches in wrist-worthy condition and about 2 dozen that need to be restored.The vast majority of my watches have come from eBay. I know many folks are down on the corporation, but trust me; there are some real finds there if you know your models. I¡¯m a lazy collector, so I will not take the time to go to estate sales, flea markets, live auctions and such, and I¡¯ve probably missed out

Needing help with my watch
I have a Miyota watch that has suddenly developed a problem with the minute hand. Sudden movements make the minute hand move on it's own as if it is loose. Is this something that can be fixed, or am I stuck with a bad watch now. I hope that I may be able to repair this problem since this watch has some sentimental value to me.

Looking to get a watch for my father...
His last watch was a Timex he bought from Walmart, which he wore for about a month then started to complain about it being painful on the wrist (indeed, there were small metal points on the inside bracelet). I don't have enough money to get him a really nice watch, but would like to get him something a little higher level than Walmart. You guys did a great job helping me choose a watch, and I thought I'd come ask again for my father ;).As of right now I was looking at this...https://orientwatchusa/watch.php?id=192I have a 50% off code, so halve the price on that. It just needs to be nice and simple (eyes aren't too good for small text). I was wondering if you guys would have any other potentials for around the $100 price point, or what you think of the link'd Orient watch.
