Invicta Pro Diver GMT Automatic Black Dial Two-tone Men's Watch 15417

My new baby - Speedmaster Day/Date "Mk40"!
This one just arrive about an hour ago! My all time favorite Omega - the Speedmaster Day/Date 3520.53.00 a.k.a. "Mk40".This is the original Michael Schumacher watch, and it features an Omega modified Valjoux 7751 automatic movement. I had one of these previously that I foolishly sold off. Lucky for me I was able to acquire this one which is actually in better shape than the first one I owned. It really is in amazing condition considering that it is at least 10 years old! All the functions work perfectly, and even the lume still kicks it like it was brand new!I simply love the gray dial combined with red, yellow, and white hand colors. This is the only watch I've ever kept on a winder just because it takes awhile to set if you let it stop running.. :) Of course I like the Speedmaster bracelet, but I think I'll be putting this on a genuine Omega double ridge strap like the one shown in the Omega advertisement below.

I seem to have a new support group at work
I was approached today by one of the researchers at the institute today about a watch he's interested in. This is aprobably the 3rd or 4th time this has happened at work since getting back into watches. I seem to be developing a following of WISsI tried saying WIS aloud a couple of times around co-workers but it doesn't seem to come off very well..So we call ourselves "Chronofiles" It sounds better when you say it. I'll still write WIS as it's easier. I'm not sure when our first meeting will be but I have a feeling it'll be this Friday

Incoming Speedy!
Just got my Speedy Pro! This watch is awesome!IMG_3191.JPG

Grey market watches automatic void warranty?
Just came across this article. It states ¡°when you buy a watch from an authorized dealer, you also get a little green card with your information and the Authorized Dealer¡¯s stamp. This warranty card is just not transferable anymore since the Rolex warranty policy update.As a consequence, when you buy a Rolex from the grey market, you do not have any more a warranty coming with your watch. Even if you have that Rolex warranty green card, even if this card wasn¡¯t filled out and that you can enter your name. But that¡¯s not it yet, if you buy a Rolex preowned, the warranty is void as well and even if it is still theoretically under warranty as you weren¡¯t the original owner in the first place.¡±It then goes on to say ¡°Rolex checks it this way : when you buy a Rolex watch at an AD, they photocopy the filled in green warranty card and send it to Rolex. Whenever a watch is sent under warranty, Rolex checks for that photocopy and it has to match your name. If they don¡¯t have your card in their
