Hands-On: With the A. Lange & S?hne Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le M¨¦rite" (VIDEO)
One of the coolest tourbillons we saw at SIHH in January was A. Lange & Sohne's Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le Merite."? This is the watch, designed after a 19th century pocketwatch (pictured below), that has a dial that is only fully visible during half of the day.? The point of the disappearing dial? Simple, really. The folks at ALS just want the wearer of this Pour le Merite to be able to view the fantastic tourbillon that he or she is paying for.The Richard Lange Tourbillon is a regulator, with the minutes being displayed on the top dial while hours on bottom right, seconds via the tourbillon at bottom left. During the hours of 12-6, half of the hour dial is missing to display the full tourbillon.? Once the watch hits 6, the dial pops back into place and a full circle is displayed again.? As this is a "poure le merite" watch, it is driven by a fus¨¦e and chain transmission to ensure regular power delivery while the watch is being wound and as it works through its power reserve.On

Resistance was futile....new one :)
I tried to resist....really, I did....for about 10 minutes. Then I emailed the seller and got the deal under way. This has been on my radar for a while, but always way too pricey for me. The price was very fair, overnight delivery at no charge, trustworthy seller, only a year old and in mint condition (not a scratch). So here's my first post of quick shots:Glashutte Original Sport Evolution Panorama DateSeller's pic of backAnd seller's pic of claspThe "boss" checking it out

Quartz vs. Automatic Omegas?
Hey there,I know this is a Rolex forum, but I happen to own more Omegas (2000's+) than Rolexes/Tudors at the moment... 5 Quartz, 1 Auto. What's with all the hate (or dislike, I should say) on quartz Omegas? I actually find them more convenient because you don't have to put them in a watch winder or wear them everyday.Speaking of which, how well do Quartz Omegas hold their value against Autos? I'm in the market for a new modern Seamaster but can't decide if the extra $$$ is worth it...Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to add an officer's caseback to the Patek 5127g?
Hi everyoneI have an odd question.As many of you know, Patek released an amazingly cool 5227 this year at the Basel featuring the sublime officer's caseback which covers the back of the 5227.Earlier this year I was gifted a 5127 to commemorate a special occasion but looking at the officer's caseback, it would be perfect for light engraving inside.Do you guys think it will be possible to add it to my watch?
