With all that's been said there, but no prejudices on our mind, let's see how?this latest addition to the IWC Portofino line is new.Available in two?colorways ¨C in 18k white gold with a dark, metallic brown dial and in 18k red gold with a silver?plated dial ¨C the new IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher?Chronograph features IWC's in-house made?59360 caliber.

Yeah, so I did watch some of "Dancing with the Stars" tonight.. So did anyone catch what ol' Buzz was wearing on his wrist? I thought I saw a PO in one shot. Not sure what he wore during the dance. I'm thinking he's the only one wearing a watch during the event tonight.Just havin' some fun here.

Inside the Chinese Marina Militare Power Reserve Automatic
I've had this watch for quite a while and one thing that always bothered me was the fit of the screw in case back. It is very difficult to photograph, but it seemed slightly cross threaded.Today I decided it was time to put the Jaxa wrench to the test. The flat sided wrench inserts made short work of removing the back.What I found was a pleasant surprise. As I am sure everyone knows, the Marina Militare watches from China can be had on several websites for $50 to $60.

What's your most comfortable watch?
In the Omega forum, Wilfreb asked "how important is comfort to you" when it comes to selecting a watch. I think it needs a little more exposure so let's open up the question for all brands and to everyone. I have a couple watches I really like visually of this group for example: The diamond dial wg Longines (second from left at the bottom) jumped at me the day I bought it and still is striking to me, but the band is just a little too stiff. I'm hoping it wears in but it's been worn quite a few times already. The "C" cased gold-capped Omega Constellation (top) is another great find, but for some reason it makes my wrist sweat even in temperate weather. I really love the Elgin gold filled watch (far right), and it's perfect with a suit but once again the band is sometimes uncomfortable and I need to take it off once or twice during the day. The other two are about as perfect as I have - the Hamilton Storm King (second from the right) and the Omega Seamaster (bottom left) are so r
