Jacob & Co. Epic II Limited Edition Automatic Chronograph Watch E1R

New from RGM Watch Company: Pro Aviator and ¡°Baseball in Enamel¡±
This month RGM Watch Co. is launching two very different watches: the Pro Aviator pilots¡¯ watch, and a limited edition Baseball watch with a grand feu enamel dial, inspired by a rare, vintage Waltham pocket watch. Grand feu means “great fire” in French, and it took RGM founder Roland Murphy three years to locate an artisan to bring his dream to life.The RGM Pennsylvania Series 801 ¡°Baseball in Enamel¡± timepiece is inspired by a rare 1892 American Waltham Watch Co. pocket watch with a special baseball-themed enamel dial. RGM Watch Company founder Roland Murphy discovered the Waltham while touring the National Watch and Clock Museum a few years ago, and he became intrigued by the idea of combining American watchmaking history with America¡¯s pastime, baseball.RGM’s enamel dial pays homage to the original Waltham, shown below.Murphy¡¯s primary challenge was to locate an artist to create the intricate grand feu dial. There are only a handful of master enamellers in the worl

Out of Left Field - my new Oris
I've just got back from a holiday on the Gold Coast of Australia with the family (thread in Community Forum to follow soon), and while there I managed to sneak in a couple of visits to watch dealers nearby (hey, I'm pretty 'starved' for variety where I live).I visited The Hourglass (a familiar name to those who live in S.E. Asia, I think), and tried on a Longines Hydroconquest (beautiful design, but too small for me), a Rolex SeaDweller (not the DSSD, the 'old' model) - also too small. Very disappointing as this had been my 'grail' watch for quite some time. And tried on a GMT master II - perfect, but much more than I can afford for a watch (but lovely to try on, just for a short time ).Anyway, I noticed the Oris display stand, and having already scored a catalogue back here in NZ a couple of months ago, I noticed they had the blue dial Titan 300 (7533)....size - perfectstyle - perfectprice - MUCH cheaper than back home, so....I am now the proud owner of a new Oris 300m diver .The brac

Omega SM300
Has anyone acquired an original one off eBay? I've read where the fakes are so realistic, they even have original omega parts. Any words of wisdom or past stories (good or bad) are greatly appreciated.

New incoming - their tactic worked!
Earlier this week my local AD hooked me up with a hulk when I went in to look at a DD40, this 'favour' meant I had no option but to go ahead with the DD40 purchase - I am a gentleman after all In all seriousness though, I am very pleased with this new purchase, Rolex's yellow gold is such a wonderful colour and the president bracelet combined with the fluted bezel is an absolutely winning combination. I had thought about a different dial but in the end it had to be the classic & iconic champagne with sticks The AD was kind enough to include a battery operated watch winder (much needed for my safe!) and a lovely Rolex overnight bag - plus I earned enough Avios for a weekend city break so will be able to use the bag soon. So a very satisfactory transaction and it's great to have a 'good' AD in my local city.Some pics of the arrival, meeting its new stablemate, and a couple of wrist shots in the sun.Cheers everyone RJ
