Thompson Tells Watch-World War Stories at WatchTime New York Event
Veteran watch journalist Joe Thompson, editor-in-chief of WatchTime, entertained attendees at the WatchTime New York show last weekend with stories about his 38 years covering the watch industry.In a presentation called ¡°On My Watch: Four Decades Covering the Watch World,¡± Thompson said that he was fortunate to get to cover three revolutions: the quartz-watch revolution of the 1970s, the fashion-watch revolution that started with the Swatch watch in the 1980s, and, most importantly, the mechanical-watch counter-revolution, or renaissance, in the 1990s.Thompson began his presentation by declaring, ¡°The mechanical watch is doomed!¡± After a pause, he went on: ¡°If you were a young watch reporter in the late 1970s, you didn¡¯t know much, but you did know one thing. You knew that the trusty tick-tock, which had had a good 400-year run, was doomed. You knew that because everybody in the industry told you so.¡± Thompson said that for someone like him, the WTNY show, so full of mechanical watches

Would you trade a LMPO Limited for Dark Side of the Moon?
A colleague of mine who recently acquired a Dark Side of the Moon isn't sure if he wants to keep it. He asked me if I would be interested in trading my LMPO limited straight up for his Dark Side... i think they are both unique pieces... would you make that trade?Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Ben Bridge is discontinuing Omega
I was at the Dallas Ben Bridge yesterday and I noticed that they were selling Omegas at 25% off. I asked them about it and I was told that the company will no longer sell Omega in their stores nationwide and they are selling off their stock. Unfortunately they won't go lower than 25% off.

6 digit Sub with a leather strap
Hello allI am happy to have joined this forum, as even though I have a lot to learn, I do feel like I've learned a lot on here Last week or so, I learned from a member on here, that the 6 digit Submariner case, has a groove cut into it, between the lugs, where the solid end links on the bracelet sit (or something like that). I understood from this member that this groove destroys leather straps.Is there a way to use a leather strap on a 6 digit Submariner, without having to use end links, or curved lug ends, or curved spring bars?Many thanks to all
