Get A Timberland Terrano Watch With Any $200 Or More Purchase At Ashford.com
Ashfordwatches-dealer was one of the first online watch retailers back in the mid 1990s, 199 7 to be exact. I recall sometime back then first learning about Ashfordwatches-dealer which had a strong impact on my love for watches. For the first time, you could digitally browse a catalog of watches, many of which most people had never even seen before. Ashford was a pioneer in high quality images, so watches could be viewed with remarkable clarity (for the time of course). Back then, such images took incredibly long to download with the available dial-up modems. I distinctly recall waiting long minutes for images of watches I so wanted to own appear on my screen.With the past behind us, Ashfordwatches-dealer is still around, and offers more watch brands than ever before. Ashfordwatches-dealer is also an authorized dealer of most watch brands it carries which ensures valid warranties and purchasing security. Price wise, Ashfordwatches-dealer remains competitive with similar outfits and pri

The Hamilton 992, 992E, and 992B Vintage Pocketwatches
In a prior thread on the Hamilton 992B that I started, there was some discussion about the Hamilton 992 and the Hamilton 992B differences. In my collection, I have 9 Hamilton 992 watches (including the "E" version) and 14 Hamilton 992B watches. I thought that it may interest some to see photos and read some information on the differences of these watches.I have researched the information in this post, and while I make no claims as to being an authority on the historical facts, I am merely a collector of many years who loves beautiful vintage pocketwatches. But, I am doing my best to be as accurate in what I post as I can be. Should anything that I say be incorrect or misunderstood, please kindly question or correct me.When speaking of the 992, 992E, and 992B, it is very easy for many folks to be confused with the model numbers, since all three contain the 992 number. But, as pointed out in the prior thread by another WTF member, there are distinct differences, and the 992, and 992E are

Non ETA Swiss Movements
Sellita has been producing ETA 2824 clones for about a year now.Folks in the Invicta Forum have reported winding stem problems since the movement was introduced.But other brands including Breitling and Oris use the same movement. Any word on if similar experiences are being reported with other companies?And, finally, there are several other mass market automatic Swiss movements currently on the market. Do you own one? And what's your experience. (I'm not talking about in-house manufacturered movements or corporate tweaked ETAs.)?

Speedy Pro Question
Hi Folks, proud owner of a 20th Anniversary Apollo 11 Speedy. 861 Movement.My question is, how many times should I be winding it to get it fully wound? It quit working so sent it off to Omega for service, my dealer said to wind it 40 times and it would be fully wound. I did this and the watch only ran a short time. Sent it back to Omega, they put it in quality control. The watch came back again....they said nothing was wrong with it. This time I can wind it with 200 turns of the crown and the watch will not run 24 hours before quitting.In addition, I can wind this watch 200 turns of the crown and there is no stop , as in the crown indicating the watch is fully wound. Before the watch was ever serviced I did get a stop on the crown.I did call Omega yesterday, they said something was not right and to send it back, yes. Again. What if anything am I doing wrong? Please help. Regards Al

Wear and Flip question for 5711
So as some of you may have read in my recent thread titled Bit of luck I recently (by some minor miracle) happened upon a brand new, unclaimed 5711 which had arrived at the AD that same morning. I've made the down-payment, and will be paying the remainder in full Friday morning. Before I do, I'd like to get a real, honest sense of what I am getting into in terms of investment. I plan to wear the watch and enjoy it for a very long time to come, of course--but because it's such a chunk-o-cash for me, I'd like to know what you guys think is in store for such a watch in terms of gaining or losing value over time, flip-ablity, etc. I'm used to vintage watches (Rolex in particular), and I know new watches are typically like cars, in that they lose a lot of value after you wear one off the lot. BUT, I also know as a Patek Philippe, and as a SS Nautilus, this watch is anything but typical. Thoughts and comments greatly appreciated!!
