WatchTime Hosts New York Collectors’ Dinner with MB&F’s Max B¨¹sser and London Jewelers
The “F” in MB&F stands for “friends” ¡ª and the iconoclastic, independent watch brand’s circle of friends expanded last night, as WatchTime, in partnership with London Jewelers and MB&F, hosted an exclusive private dinner with Max B¨¹sser (the “MB”), owner and creative director of MB&F. Twenty collectors were treated to a three-course dinner, along with cocktails and Champagne at the ever-elegant The Mark by Jean-Georges restaurant on Manhattan¡¯s Upper East Side. (MB&F’s “robo-clock,” Melchior ¡ª something of a mascot for the brand ¡ª was also in attendance.)The highlight of the evening was B¨¹sser¡¯s inspirational and candid presentation on his childhood and early interest in the watch industry. Among the topics he discussed were his early successes and failures, along with the sense of fear that he admits still feeling each time he creates a new watch. Collectors listened with rapt attention as B¨¹sser, an animated

Vintage Omegas on Ebay? Any personal experience
First post in Omega but many in the Invicta. Question is this, has anybody dealt with buying Vintage Seamasters (50's-60's) and restoring them? I am looking to "cough" step up "cough" from Invicta to Omega but do it affordably if you can say that. Looking at the Seamasters in black. If anybody has anyother sources of good info on vintage omegas that would be great.

Orbita --- DOA!!
Having more self-winding watches than wrists, I picked up a cheap, Chinese, Steinhausen single winder a couple of months ago. I always lusted after a Orbita, but couldn't afford one. Looked on several websites, but too expensive, HOWEVER, I didn't look on Orbita's site. Lo and behold, I found a Sparta 1 Tesla Cherry single for $125 (on their 'scratch and dent' sales) and ordered it. It arrived the day after Orbita went on vacation for two weeks.The winder was DOA when it arrived. I checked the transformer, with a VOM, and found it was producing 0 volts. AFTER Orbita staff came back from vacation, I called and talked with Cheryl and explained my woes to her. That was on Monday 7/13 and she sent out a replacement transformer and I received it today (7/18) and immediately checked it out -- no problem, putting out 24 volts.Plugged it into the winder and waited and waited etc. Tried the on-off position both ways (as there is no positive way to tell on or off). Waited 25 minutes each time -

My wife wants to know......
How many watches do I need?My father gave me my first Rolex (Gold DD36mm) when I graduated from college. He was a New Orleans homicide detective and my mother was a school teacher. I grew up the oldest of four children, so as you can imagine we didn't have much growing up. My parents always did without so that they could put us through private schools. Both of my parents were very big on education.I will never forget when my father pulled me to the side at my graduation party and handed me the box. When I opened it, I was totally blown away. He was very old school and believed every successful man should have a nice watch, pen and a handkerchief in his pocket at all times.I wore the DD for years as my every day watch, but saw the DJ36mm white dial with Roman numerals one day at the local AD. I loved the Roman numerals so I immediately purchased it. I began wearing it as my daily watch and would pull out the DD for special occasions. Being very happy with both watches, I never
