Concord Watches Ride The Hype Machine
Something positive first. I give credit to Concord, or whoever Concord is hiring for being creative. Though I question the effectiveness of it all. I have to first pull myself aside and consider my own position in the watch world. Someone in the know, someone who sees most of what comes out. So consider this a biased opinion by someone who might know what they are talking about. A bit of history - Concord is owned by the Movado group, and couple of years ago it was likely decided that because the brand was not pulling its weight, they would attempt to revitalize the brand into a different kind of manly high end watch. For this they repositioned the brand as a niche product maker and hired a new president in 2006, Vincent Perriard. Since then Concord has released one watch, the C1 - In a bunch of different flavors.I've never been quiet about the fact that I don't like the design of the Concord C1. I've also been pretty straight forward on how I feel about their new QuantumGravity watch

Computer generated GMT II
I had a lot of fun building my watch in 3D. The clasp is yet to be done....

Why so little traffic about Winders
I've noticed very little activity for the winder forum lately. Is everyone just bored with their winders, or not using them much, or just satisfied with what they have? I find winders darn right interesting and enjoy watching them work. I have three single winders (Orbita, Wolf, and Steinhausen) and may purchase a Orbita Voyager as a fourth. My Orbita Sparta Telsa winder (with its rocking motion) is cool, but doesn't fully wind my watches that need only clockwise movement (Tags). It does great for my Baume & Mercier Hampton.How can we generate more interest here?Bruce

Kinetic or Eco Drive ?
Which one would you choose ? And why ? I only have 1 kinetic and 4 Eco Drives. The kinetic failed me and I installed a capacitor and now it runs like a champ. My Eco Drives have never given me any problems. I am looking to buy a new addition, That is why I am asking.

Rolex Explorer 39mm or subc Nd
Got the Okay from the wife to get a new Rolex...next year. Should I go with the Explorer 39mm or subc Nd. I like how the Explorer flys under the radar. I¡¯m afraid I would crack the bezel on the sub. I have a breitling with a bezel full of scratches and gouges and afraid the ceramic would crack.
