Xeric Halograph Watches A Kickstarter Success, With Affordable Prices & Unusual Designs
Between the various crowd-funding platforms that are available, there has been an explosion of new watch brands (and watches) entering the market. Some of these are derivative and really do not offer anything new or unusual. Past that, many are first-time efforts from some folks you have never heard of, so it is definitely not zero risk for backers. With the Xeric Halograph, we have a rather unique look coming to us from a familiar name in the watch industry.First off, who is that familiar name? Unless you have kept a close eye on Kickstarter projects, Xeric is likely not familiar to you. Well, have you heard of Watchismo? They are one of the more prominent websites that offer watches that are a bit unusual. As it turns out, they decided to put their efforts to creating some unique watches of their own. The Xeric Halograph is not their first foray into this creative side either, as they earlier had a successful funding campaign for their Xeric Xeriscope.You could easily view the Xeric

The Value Proposition: The Longines Column-Wheel, Single-Push-Piece Chronograph Reference L2.800.4.5
There aren’t too many more inherently refined animals in the horological bestiary than monopusher, two-register, column-wheel chronographs. They have a certain archaic fascination – I suppose you could say that about just about any mechanical watch, as far as that goes, but the single-button chronograph is the earliest type of chronograph watch mechanism, and the column wheel the earliest known type of control system for switching on and off, and for reset. 1 OF 6 Vintage monopusher chronographs from major names like Patek Philippe can go for – well, see for yourself; and while there has been a bit of an increase in the number of monopusher chronographs at the less costly end of the spectrum in recent years (not that less than $5 million is setting the bar very high for “less costly”) like this very nice one from IWC that launched this year, they still have a bit of an aura of exclusivity, which, naturally, things like this monopusher rattrap

Are Kinetic Divers Reliable?
I was given a kinetic watch about 10 years ago and it only lasted about 6 months. I never liked the watch and after contacting multiple online "kinetic repair specialists" - i decided to not fix it. I am not new to Seiko - having a 007 Diver that I purchased in January of 1989. I recently had it overhauled because i love that particular watch (it was with me in Desert Storm and during hundreds of combat missions) - but the guy could not seem to get the case demagnatized, so it still runs a little fast ( about 5 minutes a day). So i am looking at jumping into a Seiko diver collection - and i want to start with a 007 replacement, i also want to pick up an OM, and a SPORK.But i was wondering - the Kinetic Diver is nice looking too, yet i rarely read anything about them - are they still unreliable???

Citizen Titanium and the new OM...
Had a couple minutes this afternoon, so I snapped a few pics...

My Custom Breitling Bentley. What Do You Think?
hey guys,I just wanted to pop in and share some photo's with you guys and see what everyone thinks?I had this 5.2 carat bezel made for my breitling bentley 6.75the thing that is so cool about this bezel is I had it made to function and look like the factory bezel. This bezel still spins the inner bezel.. it fully functions and has the same notches on the out side like the original.. As most aftermarket bezels are presure fitted. this one is attached to the watch by 4 screws just like the original bezel.The only question I had for you guys if anyone know this i hope? This bezel was die struck not cast.. which is a better way to make bezels is by die struck so i'm told.My question is, I was told due to stainless steel being to hard to work with to make a bezel that functions like this one, they made it out of plad and mixed alloys like polladium silver nickel and a little stainless steel. I have never heard of anything like that before. I guess they just needed a softer metal to work wit
