Technical Perspective: Stopping The Whirlwind: Four Tourbillons With Stop Seconds, And Why That Matt
One of the single most important features of watches intended to keep very accurate time is the presence of a stop seconds function. The single most important purpose of the tourbillon – as Breguet originally conceived it, certainly – is to make a watch more accurate. You would think therefore, in a rational universe, that you would see the tourbillon and a stop seconds function paired frequently, if not invariably . . . but you'd be wrong.First of all, let's talk tourbillon. The basic idea behind the tourbillon is pretty simple: it's a solution to a really old problem in watchmaking, which is that a watch will run very slightly faster, or slower, depending on what position it's in. This is mostly due to how gravity pulls on the balance and balance spring in different positions. For example, think of the balance, which has at its center the balance staff (a very, very thin steel pivot). The tips of the balance staff sit inside the holes of two jewels, and wh

Mystery Illinois... just for fun
I bought this watch on the swap the other day. It came with a nice 207 movement and was listed as an Illinois Hudson, offered by a known seller who is normally quite knowledgeable on Illinois. I was able to figure out pretty quickly what it ACTUALLY isand isn't, and I bid accordingly. Evidently most other bidders did not as I got it for less than $130 a STEAL IMHO. GREG is not allowed to guessas I shared the info with him (and also our watch guy) last week after I won, but hopefully others might have some ideas? (IF you know FOR SURE (TOM, BRYAN, MARK, WILL)please refrain a bit to see how close people get. LOL) I will post a more conclusive photo tomorrow.Regards,Rick

question about my seiko
I have to constantly keep setting the date on my seiko, yes I know it's not a automatic that has run out. I'll set the date, and then it seems to be flipping to the next at 12:00 noon instead of 12:00 am, any suggestions?

Audemars Piguet Panda question
Hey guys - So about to pull the trig on this model - have a couple of questions...1. Is the bracelet of the ROO as comfortable as the RO? (I have a 15400) - I heard that the clasp on the H serial ROO isn't as comfortable?2. How does it wear on the wrist (for extended periods of time - on a bracelet) does it feel like a heavy watch or wear well?3. Any pics of an H serial or pics in general would be very much appreciated. Thanks everyone

Panerai upselling
Seems like Panerai is upselling their watches or at least the 424. The night view image on their website shows the train track surrounding the numbers lighting up in dark which is not the case. Not sure why they would do such a thing. Is it just to make it look cooler?azaku97
