WATCH GIVEAWAY: Claude Bernard Chronograph Automatic
This month on watches-dealer, you have a chance to win a Claude Bernard Chronograph Automatic timepiece, which is an elegant and attractive bi-compax chronograph. Who wears a chronograph dress watch? The concept is a relatively modern phenomenon which developed as historic sport watches simply became dressier over time. Originally, all chronograph watches were tools meant for timing events and activities, but later became lifestyle objects. Today, there are sporty chronograph watches and even sportier ones. The Chronograph Automatic by Swiss Claude Bernard has an understated elegance but also a clean modern design.At 42mm wide, the steel case is PVD coated with a rose gold tone or offered in polished steel and contains a mechanical Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic movement with a chronograph module. A unique design feature is the date window which is located under the 12 o'clock hour indicator. The rear of the watch has a sapphire crystal display back. Claude Bernard offers the Chronograp

Aged Automata & Other Clockwork Creations In Swiss Watch Museums
Mechanical magic is a thing of wonder and myth. For centuries, artisans skilled with tools and gears have been engineering the impossible. Today, the hidden underbellies of machinery both large and small are mostly kept from plain sight in a society where mechanical things are no longer as interesting to most people. Today's most advanced machines operate on levels we cannot even view with our own eyes. Our phones and computers operate with almost no moving parts. The movement is based on microscopic energy moving around in cheaply made circuit boards. The modern era has removed the child-like enjoyment many of us receive from viewing how things work.In Switzerland things are a bit different. At least in the watchmaking regions of the country. There, an adherence to traditional mechanical watchmaking is both tradition and business. Keeping alive the savoir of machines helps the locals remember the history behind today's modern mechanical creations, and inspires those of us who are tick

I joined the GMTIIc club!
Since setting eyes on the new SS GMTII, I knew it would be the first watch I've bought in several yrs. I have been calling AD's all over the country during my frequent business travels.I finally got lucky this past week in upstate NY of all places. I battled a pretty hairy snowstorm...but wild horses couldn't hold me back after a phone call confirmed that a local AD had both the SS and TT GMTIIc in stock.The salesman was even nice enough to provide a healthy discount and I walked out the door with my 9 yr old Omega Seamaster in the Rolex box and a fine new GMT II on my wrist.Ecstatic is an understatement. Surprisingly, it's been running dead on since I took ownership on Tuesday the 26th. Who knows if it'll stay that way but it's nice to see the consistency nonetheless.The clasp upgrade on this newest generation GMT is a welcome addition.The ceramic bezel sure is pleasing to the eye.

Service / warranty card question
Ok, so I dropped off my P series 111 this evening at a local AD, after noticing condensation / fog under the crystal after swimming on vacation several days ago. The AD was skeptical that my name didn't match the cards name. She is sending it in, and gave me no trouble, but admitted she was concerned that might be an issue for me. So, this shouldn't be an issue from what I understand from reading past posts of this nature here. But has it been for anybody?Thanks
