The Tourby Marine Enamel, Reviewed by The Watch Curmudgeon
I love watches! And I love to complain! Therefore, I love to complain about watches. Especially those in my collection. Now don't get me wrong: I'm crazy about most of my watches, but there's always a little something that annoys me. It could be a graphic element; the size of a case; dim lume; a date that doesn't snap over precisely at the stroke of midnight; or other little glitches too numerous to list. Perfection has always eluded me. Until now, that is.Case: Polished StainlessMovement: ETA Unitas 6498-1Dial: White EnamelLume: N/ALens: Domed SapphireStrap: AlligatorWater Res.: 50mDimensions: 42mmThickness: 10mmLug Width: 22mmCrown: 6 mm push-pullWarranty: 1 year-Price: $800 (apprx)April 24 was my birthday, and when I got together with my wife and kids for dinner, I expected to get a shirt, some colorful socks and maybe even the obligatory sweater. What I got instead almost gave me a coronary: a Tourby Marine, one of my most desired grails. When I opened that large, heavy, maple box

Breguet Overcoil
Is this spring configuration used in PP movements such as the 324? All I know is that the Giromax balance is a PP patented device and I'm assuming it's their own spring configuration too. Am I wrong?

AP Diver VS Omega PloProf...
So guys, help me out....I recently sold my AP 15300, felt I needed something more substantial and sporty on my wrist...I always really loved the Diver and it was a close call between it and the 15300 but a good deal on a 15300 came along and I went for it...But some things nagged me about the 15300, I regret that I did not get a blue dial (I had the black dial), and it felt a bit too fragile for my taste, so it basically became a dress piece and I can not justify to have that much money in a watch that do not get the wristtime it deserves...So, I have been on the hunt for a Diver for some weeks, almost bought one but the seller decided to keep it (understandable) and also waiting for another seller to contact me and if the price is right I most likely get it...But but but.....since I had some trouble getting one (pre-loved) I also started thinking of another big sporty Diver that I always loved but never owned, that is the Omega PloProf...The advantage of getting the PloProf is that it

China's impact on the luxury watch market
I am curious what the impact of the falling Chinese economy will have on the luxury watch market. It is clear that with the falling Yuan, foreign goods are going to get more expensive for them and probably throttle the demand for luxury goods. Are we entering a period where watch prices are going to get impacted? Will the luxury watch companies cut production or reduce prices further? From Bloomberg: The response to uncertainty in the Chinese economy is falling sales. Luxury automakers have been offering discounts of up to 30%, Bloomberg News found recently.

SS BLRO Fantasy!!!
I visited one of the ADs today which I frequent. This one I've known their sales guy for a few years and he's been pretty straight with me. He's been told he can't sell any of these watches. None, nada. They won't be being shipped. Same with the Brown and Black in TT. This is to Longs in the Boston area. He's had about 50 requests on the day of the announcements. He said they were also advised on the introduction of the SS SkyD that they'd be released in limited quantities and would be a very hot item.We discussed the current sales climate with Rolex and his response was that Rolex does as they please and since they aren't a for profit company they are really only currently interested in increasing the Rolex mystique.
