Longines La Grande Classique White Dial Stainless Steel Ladies Watch L42094116

German/Swiss holiday.
G'day all,I will be in Germany/Switzerland for Christmas/New Year and would like to buy a watch from a local maker. If anyone knows (or if there is a place) of a town/village That have numerous maker it would be much appreciated.My budget is tight so I can't afford a high end watch like a Brietling (), I like the idea of buying the watch directly from the maker. I would be willing to spend up to €600-700.If what I am asking is unrealistic then I apologise for wasting everyone's time

Modified 'orange second' Seiko
I was loving this watch so much lately that I had to give it more love. It won my 5 quartz watch battle with a fantastic performance of 0+- sec in 20 days. That is impressive - even for a quartz watch.I bought this watch a few months ago because I loved its grandfather so much - a 1970 version that still 'runs like a watch!'I don't know why I wanted the gold so much. I think I was on a gold kick there for a bit. But with the fake gold bracelet it came with, it was too much.The other thing I didn't care for was that the secondhand was invisible.The first thing I did was replace the mineral glass with sapphire.And then today I did two things. I painted the secondhand orange. It's wild, it's different, and it may not have class, but I like it much better now and think it looks fine.Secondly, I bought a very heavy, quality made Seiko original SS bracelet. It is brushed SS with some gold accents. I think it looks sharp with the watch. I sort of like a watch to stand out a little fr

Cape Cod Polishing Cloths
Does anyone know where one can find Cape Cod Metal Polishing cloths? I've never seen them before in a supermarket. I would like to touch up a high polish part on one of my bracelets. Thanks for the help!

My new ¡°Who Dey¡± Omega
Since I¡¯m turning 40 in February I decided to treat myself with a second watch that I could rotate with my Explorer, something more casualI. I started looking for another Rolex, but none of them really scratched my itch, so I started looking at other brands / styles which lead me to Omega. So I looked up Authorized Dealer location on their website so I could go try some on since I was so unfamiliar with the line. The local AD was very professional & accommodating even though I had never stepped foot in their door before. They let me try on many different models that I liked, but this 43.5 Planet Ocean spoke to me, I loved it at first sight! I can completely understand how this color scheme might turn some away, however I love it! Needless to say by my user name I¡¯m a Cincinnati Bengals fan (I know, it¡¯s a curse) so the color scheme was perfect for what I was looking for. I have read a lot of opinions on how the watch was a little too large, but I have a 6 3/4¡± wrist and I really

Date wheel question
I was winding/setting a DJ yesterday from stopped and do I want I usually do and set the hands to 6. In this case I wound back, can’t remember why but I did. The date reversed. At the 6 I decided to set the date first. As I proceeded I felt the gear in what I assume was a clutch position, it wasn’t engaged, I felt resistance. I stopped and wound forward, knowing I was at the 6am and date did not change. I carried on with the hands and it proceeded to click solidly at the 12am date change but only after an additional 24 hr revolution. All is good now, date wheel was changing as it should too. Question is, what happened originally, was it because I wound back and the date mechanism wasn’t fully engaged by winding back to 6am? Just curious to learn for the future.
