WATCH GIVEAWAY: Torgoen T81 Limited Edition Automatic
This month on watches-dealer, you have a chance to win a limited edition Torgoen T81 mechanical automatic pilot watch. The Torgoen T81 is named as such in honor of pilot Spencer Suderman who accomplished a record-setting 81 inverted flat spins from an altitude of 23,000 feet in his Pitts stunt plane. Because "81 Inverted Flat Spins" is actually written on the watch dial, the wearer should know what they are - and the answer is a particular aerobatic maneuver where the plane is spinning while falling upside down.The Torgoen T81 Limited Edition watch is 43mm wide in a black-colored steel case that is water resistant to 100 meters. The aviator-style dial is legible and clean, offering a timeless sporty look enhanced by accents of red color. The Torgoen T81 has a sapphire crystal and contains a Swiss automatic mechanical movement. Attached to the watch is a distressed Italian black leather strap with contrast stitching. Torgoen has limited the Torgoen T81 to just 200 pieces, with a retail

Red?
Did someone change the background of the Omega forum to Red? If so, can a user change it to something else (personalized settings)? The red is tough on the eyes, and reminds me to much of a stop light.

Happy Veterans Day 2014 to all our Vets, past & present
Happy Veterans Day 2014 to all our Vets, past & present!Being a Marine Corps Veteran myself, I am thankful for those that came and served before me & those that served after me, and my thanks & prayers go out to you all today 11/11/2014. Best regards, JimPS. I have been posting this message here and elsewhere for the past 8 years, and while a few others have from time to time on various forums, I waited to see if anyone else was going to give rightful tribute to the Veterans today & no one posted what should be a (given or natural thing) to do on this hallowed day, to give thanks & salutations to all of our Veterans. My hope & prayers are, that Patriotism and reverence be restored in the hearts & thoughts of all Americans.

The Polerouter story
After posting my vintages the other day, I thought I'd share what I learned about my Polerouter...from ninanet.netUG was know for the "microrotor," so the movement itself didn't take up much space. Here is a movement shot of the Polerouter along with some antimagnetic info and the Polerouter Story:Pic and story from polerouter To shortcut the flights from Europe to California (USA) by some thousand kilometers, the airline SAS (Scandinavian Airline System) opened new routes over the North Pole in the Ninteen-Fifties. All crews on these flights had to take part in a special training at the "SAS's Arctic Flight School". The swiss watch manufacturerer Universal Gen¨¨ve provided the crews with automatic precision wrist-watches that are resistent against the strong magnetic field of the polar region. They became the offical chronometers of SAS. On the 15th November 1954 at 19:18 local time the "Helge Viking" (OY-KMI) took off in Copenhagen for the first commercial flight over the North

Maison Patek Philippe Shanghai
Hey guys as I do during most business trips I seek out local Rolex/Patek ADs to have a look around and to kill time while away from home. Well my latest trip had me in China for 10 days and specifically in Shanghai this past weekend with a free Saturday afternoon...having recently picked up my 5167 I searched for any local Patek dealers to tour and research my next purchase. Oh boy did I get a surprise when the Maison Shanghai was within walking distance from my hotel. To be honest, I had no idea something like this even existed and it was over the top!!!.patek/en/communicatio...lippe-shanghaiI have to say the nice fellow (Sam) that showed me around and let me try on a few pieces was very accommodating and knowledgeable...I sadly ran out of questions and watches to try on in my price range after an hour and a half. No photos were permitted inside the two story building, but they did send me with a small parting gift (a packet of post cards) that has a few photos of the inside. It was s
