Romain Jerome Space Invaders Watches
The best part of these timepieces is easily the box. I wasn't allowed to take pictures, but Romain Jerome showed me a sneak preview of the Space Invaders watches back in March. The idea is to recall some of the fun and playfulness, as well as the novelty of the late 1970s video game. The box is actually a light box and you place the watch inside of it. Actually the watch is already placed inside of it and there are no doors, just a peep hole. If you want to remove the watch - consider it a fun challenge (like the game). Inside the box is a black light, then when lit illuminates the lume on the dial of the Space Invader watches. It is cool and fun, and perhaps better with LSD.For me, the funnest part of the Space Invader watch story is process of Romain Jerome getting the licensing for the product from Taito in Japan. No one has ever made a high-end watch involving a video game before (I've joked about it, but this is the first legit one). By the way, I first talked about these watches

Running Funny
Okay, so my 1956 Seamaster is already doing funny things. When winding, it feels as though the mech is binding. The second hand now skips a couple of seconds every 12-15 seconds. Suggestions as to where to send it for service/repair and an original dial??

What should an 'overhaul' include?
My local watchmaker is pretty reasonably priced for overhauls,($165) but he takes ages (he had my last 3 watches for over 5 months!), and he doesn't appear to refinish the cases. I noticed one of my patients had a nice vintage gold Seamaster which looked brand-new, and he said that he just got it overhauled by another watchmaker. He then said something insulting about 'my' guy! In the meantime my wife's Mom gave me her deceased father's 60's era Seamaster and her deceased husband's 60's era Constellation. The granddad's Seamaster had been overhauled by my guy 10 years ago, but the Constellation probably 20 years ago. Anyway, I have taken them both to the 'new' guy for overhauls, since, being watches that my kids will inherit I want them to look brand-new again. The bad news - new guy is charging me $300 each, plus $200 each for new crowns, crystals, winding stems, and gaskets. Now, I understand additional charges for most of those items BUT shouldn't the $300 include at least t

Help with new new (to me) Longines
Just picked up a vintage Longines and I can't find much info about. Where does Longines locate the serial number? Any idea what the lever at the 6 o'clock position is used for? Any info about the watch would be helpful.ThanksBarryi170.photobucket/albums/u...ps226f96b3.jpg

D Blue could have been the original BLNR
I took a wrist shot of the BLNR next to the D Blue and noticed the inverse color positioning of the BLNR Bezel next to the dial color of the D Blue and immediately thought Rolex could have named the D Blue: BLNR under the right lighting conditions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
