Maurice Lacroix Pontos Automatic Chronograph

Introducing: The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph 45.5mm, Omega's First METAS Certified
The Planet Ocean Collection was first launched in 2005 and has become a mainstay, in the last 10 years, of Omega's sports watch collections. This year Omega has released a brand new Planet Ocean 45.5 mm Chronograph, with a new co-axial chronograph movement (METAS/Master Chronometer certified, a first for Omega chronographs) and in new materials. It's one of three Master Chronometer certified Seamasters in the new-for-2015 Seamaster Planet Ocean Master Chronometer Collection, along with the new Seamaster Planet Ocean 43.5 mm Auto, and the Seamaster Planet Ocean 43.5 mm GMT. As you may know, the current Planet Ocean Chronograph 45.5 mm features the co-axial caliber 9300 movement in titanium with blue dial and bezel. This year's Baselworld release features a new movement: the automatic co-axial chronometer caliber 9901/9900.

Mad Men, JLC, and Omega
1. Apparently the official watch of Mad Men is JLC.2. Wouldn't Omega have been a more historically accurate choice for the watches worn by upper middle class 40 somethings in 1960s NYC?3. Throughout the 60s, my father- an NYC municipal bond lawyer, and his brother- an NYC surgeon, who were the same approximate age as Draper (late 30s and early 40s) both wore Omegas, as did many of their friends.4. What are your thoughts?5. Thanks.

Replacing scratched cyrstal on 2255.80
How easy would it be to have this replaced, and how much would a new one cost? Thanks.

Rolex service through Torneau
I recently brought my Explorer II into Torneau to send it out for a full service with Rolex. I assumed and was told that the watch would be serviced by Rolex themselves, and that it would take about 8 weeks. To make a long story short, I got the watch back in about three weeks and was very unhappy to find out that Rolex did not do the service, it was done by Torneau, and that the watch looks horrible because they polished the bezel and made it look fake, because the bezel should look brushed!!!! Even the numbers on the bezel appear worn down from the extensive polishing!! I refused to pay for the service and demanded Torneau to send it to Rolex for re-servicing and to make it look like it is supposed to. I am now afraid of what was done to the inside of my watch and how they will fix it. I am assuming I will need a new bezel now. Does anyone have any thoughts on this, and should I contact Rolex directly to let them know this has happened? thanks Daniel

Going round in circles now

Tried on day/date + diver today never considered DD before but I must say I loved the balance of the dial. Anyway loved them both although both completely different watches. Thoughts welcome guys
