CX Swiss Military 20,000 Feet Diver: Deepest Diving Mechanical Watch Ever
People have funny dreams. Some people have dreams of making watches with incredible water resistance. This Swiss Military 20,000 Feet Diver watch was a dream to do just that; create a mechanical watch that can survive just that, 20,000 feet under water. Not just any mechanical watch, but a chronograph, which is harder to keep as water resistant. The watch was made, it survived the pressure chamber, and it got awarded the word record. The 20,000 Feet Diver defeated the record Rolex set in 2008 with the new DeepSea Sea-Dweller watch by about 50%. It is rather cool that you can buy a Guinness world record holding watch.The story started in 2005 with Swiss Military's 12,000 Feet CX Diver, which was the deepest diving watch of its time. The 12,000 Feet watch was an automatic, but not a chronograph. Though impressive and record breaking, it just wasn't enough! "We Must Go Deeper!" Swiss Military Watches by Charmex had the drive and skills to make it happen, so development began on something

2008 nears it's end, state of the collection post
Hi there,Unless I win the lottery, there will be no more watches added to my collection this year so here is the state of my collection:All of them:Breitling:IWC:I love them all and wear them all too. Some get more wrist time than others though. The one I wear the least is the Breitling B-1 with UTC. The one I wear the most is more difficult, at the moment it's the IWC Big Pilot but that's because I just got it. The Ingenieur is the one I would keep if I could only keep one.Kind regards,CinqPS: I left out the Raketa, I bought this to see if I could get used to a 24-hour dial and I did so I got the Breitling Cosmonaute

Shipping an AP to the US
I'm sorry if this is common knowledge but after searching for a while I haven't found an answer. Can I have an AP shipped to the US? There are some brands including Rolex that will not allow watches to be shipped to the US and will either be returned to the sender or seized by customs.Does this happen with APs?Thanks

new PP AD first in nine year in the USA
So, Hodinkee is reporting here:.hodinkee/blog/patek-p...ver-nine-yearsIMHO, it is sad (maybe a failure, really) that this brand, with its many wonderful pieces, cannot increase production while maintaining quality, expand its network and its presence in the world.I really don't believe in what many here (there, and everywhere...) will say in its defense: it is exclusive, rare, blah, blah, blah...So, now that I stated my piece, what you fellows think?

UK Rolex Insurance
Hi,I have recently purchased a Rolex GMT II BLNR and wanted to get it insured. Most insurance companies will only insure watches up to a value of ¡ê5000. Does anyone know of any specialist watch insurance companies that can be recommended?ThanksMark
