Formex A780 Watches For 2010
For 2010 Formex offers two versions of its new A780 watch collection. All are 45mm wide in interesting cases and come in a three-hand automatic version, as well as a quartz chronograph model. I have been a fan of Formex watches for a while - enjoying their "pure" feeling race inspired watches that have some fun tech. Specifically, Formex watches have patented shock absorbing systems that places the case on springs (so to say), this is meant to protect the movement during periods when the watch is experiencing harsh vibrations - such as during a track race, or anything else where shock and vibration is an issue. The case here is really interesting - as it is a complete mixture of square case and round case. See what I mean? The chronograph pushers (on that version) are meant to look like brake pedals - and the look is pulled off rather well. The final versions of the watches might look a bit different. For instance, the screws around the case on the PVD black cases might not be in black

RE: brand new sea dweller w/ crown problem
Thank you all for your replies to my problemI talked to MARAL in customer service at the Beverly Hills rolex service center, she is a really really nice lady! she assured me that the watchmakers there would take very good care of the watch and that not to worry about a thing because the techs will check it all out and make sure its good to go before they send it back to Rolex store in south coast plaza. the staff at the rolex store was very very nice as well, but it just sucked that i couldnt just get a new one even though it left the store for less than 24hrs. oh well i guess thats just life. Thanks again everyone!!! Tecky

Is Oris worth the money?
Oris has a reputation for quality and competitive pricing. But I've noticed the model line is getting somewhat expensive.So the questions:1) Are they worth the cash?2) Is it essentially a "cult" watch?3) What do you think of the new Selita movement?I've only had one Oris, a Big Crown series pointer date, that was nice but not exceptional. I see them from time to time at Costco and in ADs. I can't make up my mind about the brand.Help!

A Few Photos (as promised)...
As introduction, I'm uploading photos of some of my watches. The first has a Seamaster cal. 591 with a great textured dial, then an f300 Connie that I keep in working condition, a LeCoultre Futurematic, and a Bulova 23j. The second is an assortment that are probably recognizable, except for the 80's [Ixi:z] (Ricoh) that I bought new and always loved for the design. The Tag Formula 1 I bought new as well and recently had Tag restore it. The luminous dial ages pretty fast. I just got an All Guard that I posted to the Longines Forum. I'm starting to like the Longines watches from the 40's - 60's more. Basically I go for nice designs that also have good movements, and I love vintage on a budget! I have a few morea Hamilton Chadwick with the 770 movement, a square Longines 8LN, and an early Mido bumper. David
