Concord C1 QuantumGravity Movement (And Whatever Upcoming Watch) Annoys Me
My problems with Concord all started with the "revitalization" of the brand a few years ago when the Concord C1 watch line was released. I wrote this article discussing how (and why) I didn't care for the design of the C1. The brand keeps coming out with new watches all based on the C1, some more hideous that others. Then came out the vertically aligned tourbillon watch, and most recently, the tourbillon version of the Concord C1 will be supplemented with this new movement, the C1 QuantumGravity - and I am thoroughly annoyed by it.It is funny, because other watches and watch companies do a lot of the same things that Concord is doing, but the marketing and attitude at Concord irks me the most. Namely, it is over-hyping and creating confusion around the new products that they release. Nothing about Concord's new watches impresses me. There is really nothing to impress anyone. They want you to think they have created the next great watch, but they haven't. They have just done the same th

Swatch Sistem51 Officially Available In The United States (At New York City & San Francisco Pop-Up Stores)
At Baselworld 2013 we gave you an exclusive hands-on look at the Swatch Sistem51, the 51-component mechanical watch completely assembled by machine. Since then, we have been asked regularly "when will I be able to buy one?" Well, today your wait is over (kind of). The Sistem51 is officially launching in the United States today with a pop-up shop at Swatch's Times Square store in New York City, with a second location appearing in San Francisco later this month. Here are all the details about how to get your hands on this $150 Swiss-made marvel. 2 OF 4 Before we get into where you can buy one, here's a quick refresher on the Sistem51. As the name suggests, it has only 51 components including the mechanical movement. Everything is held together by a single central screw and the entire package is put together by machine ¨C even the balance is regulated by machine. The movement is made of an anti-magnetic alloy called ARCAP, has 19 jewels, and boasts a 90 hour power reserve. Pl

Arrived: Hamilton Masterpiece
OK, so this is nowhere near as vintage as a lot of the pieces I see here at WTF. And it's a gold tone piece. But I really needed a dressy piece, wanted it to be a Hamilton, and found this: the Hamilton Masterpiece. As near as I can tell, this dates from sometime in the very early 1980s. It's quartz, it's got a base metal bezel and the case size is 34mm:eek:, a size I never thought I'd wear. But I'm really enjoying this piece because it is BNIB (NOS). That's the fun thing about collecting Hamiltons. You can find a wide variety of pieces from across the 20th century, some of which are new old stock. I'm having fun with this:)(The packaging is really cool, too!)

I need someone honest and good to refurb dad's Seiko Sportsmatic 7625-8233.
My dad recently passed away and he gave me his watch to remember him by. His father bought this watch, and two additional ones identical, for him and his two brothers. It was always cool as a young kid getting together and seeing my uncles with the same watch my father had.The problem is I like watches, I just don't work on them. It needs to be done right and I don't know anyone who could do it right. I've been burned by jewelry shops before so I'd prefer to pay someone rather than a shop. So, does anyone know anyone reputable and trustworthy either on this forum, or online, or in Albuquerque that could refurbish this watch, and do it right? I think the curved crystal will be hard to find and it might need a new movement. When I shake it around to wind it, nothing happens. Face and hands look great. Everything glows except the 8 position. Case is kind of scratched and all the numbers are very visible on the back. Crystal is totally readable but has incidental scratches. Any help would

What do you think about this strap on my Navi?
