IWC Ingenieur Laureus

Omega Museum Launches New Website
In May, 2010, Omega reopened its museum in Biel, Switzerland following several months of renovations. The Museum, located just opposite Omega’s headquarters, originally opened in January of 1984, and it is the oldest museum dedicated to a single watch brand. Now, the museum has a new, dedicated website. Find a link inside. Speaking of the museum’s renovation period, Omega president Stephen Urquhart likened it to an anthropological dig. ¡°Not only did we renovate the whole Museum but we also restored many of the period features of this listed building. We discovered things hidden in the archives which we didn¡¯t even know we had and when the Museum reopened, some of these objects were presented to the public for the first time. Extending the opening hours to Saturday will allow even more people to enjoy what is on display.¡±The museum features items representing the brand¡¯s entire history, from the watchmaker¡¯s bench used by Louis Brandt when he began to make watches more than

Ingenieur Automatic Mission Earth - IW323601
Since the reintroduction of the IWC Ingenieur in 2005, I was never sure if I liked the new case or not. There were times the watch spoke to me, but it failed to grab me. Last year, IWC introduced the Big Ingenieur (~46 mm) with the 7-day movement. That watch did nothing for me and I wasn't sure the bigger case did justice to the shape. This year, IWC discontinued the 42 mm Ingenieur and introduced two new models. The 45.5 mm Big Ingenieur Chronograph and the 46 mm Automatic Mission Earth.Several weeks ago, I tried on the chronograph and really liked it. In-house movement with 68-hour power reserve which was first introduced in the Da Vinci Chronograph. Yesterday, I finally was able to try on the Automatic Mission Earth (caliber 80110) and was immediately taken by it. This watch has so much presence and value, it cannot be beat. The US retail prices are $7700 with a bracelet and $6900 with a rubber strap.

White marks, need your help asap
Hi guys,Its a new watch, i started to seeing like white marks on the case and around the sapphire glass. Please look at the pictures and let me know what is it ? I tried to wash it with water and use the Verat but it didnt help. Anyone can explain what is it and how can be removed ? thanks!!!

Is it safe?
Thought I'd test out the 5167 and see how it is with water, as there have been a few is it safe threads for Subs but not as many for Pateks It is called the aquanaut after all So what do you think, is it safe?

Incoming! New to Panerai!
I've been looking for a diver to complete my collection, and while the obvious choice was the Sub, I already had an Explorer and GMTII, I wanted to add a bit of variety. I looked into the Black Bay, Seamaster, Aquatimer and Luminor. After weeks of staring at photos online, trying out different watches and reading up on the history of each watch I finally made my choice. Anyway, here's my new (to me) PAM111.I've always been critical with big watches in the past, always brushing it off as a trend. After a bit of research, I realized Panerai isn't a brand following a trend, they are actually big watches. I actually tried a 47mm to stay true to the tool diving instruments I see in old photos, however it just didn't work with my wrist size!This is also my first watch with a clear case back which was the tie breaker between the PAM000 and the PAM111. Plus I needed the sweep seconds hand to keep myself from going crazy if the watch was running or not without putting the watch against my
