Seiko 5 Black Dial Stainless Steel Mens Watch SNZJ07

Thoughts On The Confrerie Horlogere La Clef du Temps Tourbillon Watch
I have been pondering how I should think about this watch for a while. I want to like it, and a big part of me does. Another part of me questions the wisdom of the watch. Is it wearable? Does it makes sense? Would you be considered akin to an alien from outer space for wearing one? The watch is a new piece from the Confrerie Horlogere, a watch making arm of the popular watch movement maker BNB Concept (that is about the declare bankruptcy). The model is the La Clef du Temps Tourbillon, and there will only be 24 of them ever made. Apparently one for each timezone. One of these watches was auctioned off in the Only Watch 2009 watch auction in September for well over $200,000 which was close to its retail price. As a limited edition of just 24 pieces, the watch can justify itself. Still, I feel the need to evaluate it as though they were going to me 24,000 of them.One this that strikes me as beingwell curious to say that least, is that this isn't the only watch that has this movement.

GS 200m diver testing
I went to the Seiko store yesterday to get my 4th look and test it out a little. I did notice that the bezel is slightly out of alignment (1/4 mark) at some places, but inspection of other "top" brands such as Rolex, Breitling, Girard-Perregaux revealed that a 1/2 mark alignment is the norml. I did do another test which was very revealing as well as impressive. I timed, using the second hand, the exact time it took for the minute hand to go from being exactly on one minute mark to exactly on the next minute mark. Some thought will reveal that this measures a number of things including:1. Centering of dial.2. Uniformity of dial mark spacing.3. Centering of drive train.4. Uniformity of gear tooth shapes.5. Play in drive train.So it is a test which reveals the internals of the watch. All my other watches, including a brand new Zenith were about (+/-)2s error with some drift. The GS was basically (+/-) 0.5s, so perfect, human error in measurement being more significant. It is the only watc

DILEMMAS! ROO SS Panda vs Rolex Yachtmaster ll
Hi everyone, I have a few questions for you AP folks. I have been recently pursuing my first AP and am a little confused. I love the look of the ROO panda mainly for the white face. I would like the 44mm version but not sure about the reference number. What is the Novelty model? Is it a new variation of the 44mm? Secondly, I have been in hot pursuit of the YMll for some time, again because I would like to add something different with a white face and the AP just became another option. I love both but am stumped, I know the ROO panda 44 come with a rubber strap, can I get a SS bracelet, or can I order a leather strap? Should I just stick with another Rolex? If I can get some clarification of the ROO that I like, model etc so I can focus on it? Can I buy straps for it? Thanks everyone
