Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Squelette Watch
As a brand, Tissot really seems to be on quite a tear as of late. They have had quite a few notable new releases over the last few months, and now we are getting word of a sort of second wave. Most of them seem like reasonable additions to the lineup, but there is one in particular that caught our attention: the Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Squelette.As you can quite readily tell from the photos here, this is a skeleton watch (and that's what squelette translates to from French ¨C skeleton). I've been spending more time looking at and thinking about skeleton watches in the last year or so, and I have come to the conclusion that they are particularly hard to do. There are some brands that have it absolutely nailed down on the higher end of the luxury spectrum; when you start coming down closer to the realm of the "affordable" watches, things become hit-and-miss.The single biggest problem that faces a skeleton watch is readability. Since there is no dial, a lot of attention is given to the

Connie
Hi all,I haven't posted here for ages, so it's nice that I do so with good news. I have been hunting for a solid gold Connie for a long time. I like Connies because they often don't have Tritium paint which I don't like when it turns brown. Some do, but not my taste. I also wanted a 56x series movement.I found one and got it today. It has black onyx type marking and is fantastic condition. I'll put a pic up over the w/e. I've been looking for nearly 2 years, so chuffed to bits.It is weird being in possession now. I normally wear POs, ATs or Speedies, so to wear a 35mm watch again is absolutely weird.I opened the back and it has just been serviced, so all it shining bright.It is also weird not having a quickset date. I had to wind on 26 days - phew!The only very very small downer is the crown has a large ding on the flat side, where the Omega symbol is.

Benrus Dial-O-Rama Crown
HiI have a Benrus Dial-O-Rama that needs a Benrus crown. I am not sure what type of crown was original. Attached is a picture of the type of watch I have. I belive the crown in the picture has Benrus on it. If anyone has a crown and stem they can sell or just a crown please let me know. the movement is a FG 25 and it is a split stem.ThanksTonybenrusdialoramajumphour1.jpg

Time and Time
I took a little trip today to the village of Williamsville, NY, a very nice suburb of Buffalo where resides Time and Time, upstate NY's ONLY Hamilton AD owned by David and Tina. David was in today and we had a great chat. I even invited him to visit the forum and join us in conversation.The shop is a relatively small operation with several lines of watches and clocks and soon to expand into more jewelry sales. David is a self-trained watchmaker and I gathered that repairs are the bulk of his business. He had about a dozen or 15 new Hamilton's on display including a nice selections of women's Hammies.He showed me the LE rose gold pocket watch with the Unitas movement. I also held the Khaki Frogman with black rubber strap. Nice size and a very nice look. The majority of stock was in Khaki Navy and Khaki Air and in person, they all looked great. I told him that the JazzMaster was a fave here and he agreed that it is a very nice watch although the Maestro was not a big seller becau

Has Rolex ever introduced a part 'post production' which improves a watch?
Would Rolex ever consider producing a set of hands for the Daytona which are easier to read (ie. easier to read than fat hands), that could be fitted by an A.D.?
