TAG Heuer Carrera

Initial Impressions: Uniform Wares 300
*Check out our full review of the Uniform Wares 300 here.?The Uniform Wares 300?Chronograph is the current top of the line model offered by the relatively young English brand, which they were kind enough to lend us for a review. I mentioned them not too long ago when they released their newest model, the 150, but this is the first chance I've had to really experience wearing one of their watches. The 300 comes in a simple, elegant and understated package that consists of an uncoated gray paper sleeve over a matte rubberized paper box (the paper itself has a sort of soft, rubbery coating). The watch sits in a contour cut dense foam that holds the watch securely and could definitely be used for travel. Understated is the key word here, as the packaging well describes the nature of the watch itself. Uniform Wares is not one for the flashy, maintaining a line of watches and a brand image that are defined by their restraint and devotion to a clean graphic design aesthetic.? The 300 is a stu

Rest of the family
Here are some quick shots of the "family" with a breif story behind each one, the Carrere is the one that started it all as I mentioned in a earlier post, I looked at it online for about a year while trying to convince my wife why it was acceptable to spend that kind of money on a watch. Until then I only had the Swiss Army (seen below) and Guess Microsteel (also below) which were both gifts, and both under $100 each. So now I have been dropping Sea Dweller hints for about a year so wish me luck. Then I bought the Aquaracer as a daily driver, probrally my favorite to wear, it gets the most wrist time.Then the Invicta, I like the look of the TT Sub so I couldn't resist trying out the style, I really do like this watch, can't decide on the "someday" between the TT Sub or the Dweller.Wenger Swiss Army, gift from my father about 6 Christmas' ago, quartz, runs like a top, very accurate, what else can you say, great watch, but now it feels vary small when I wear it.Guess Microsteel, quartz,

Arrggh ... friction pins
Finally received in the mail a new Staib mesh bracelet for my Nomos Tangente Sport. Tried to size the bracelet and arrgghh a friction pin at the links would not come out. Did a terrible job removing the links and then a pin would not go in all the way. I then noticed that the Nomos spring bars were too fat for the new mesh bracelet. I screamed so loud that I scared my wife, child and the dog. The dog jumped up on my wife's lap and cowered in fear. Off the watch and bracelet went to the jeweler's. Should get it back by Saturday and hope to have some pics then. Now I feel pretty embarrassed but I think that the message to me is: Bracelets have screwed links. Period. What do you guys think?

Does anyone know what the A in "81950 A" on my 80s Chronomat means?
I see lots of 81950 model 1980s Chronomats online but I am having trouble finding info on models that say 81950 A on the back. I cannot seem to find good info on the pre-1991 models. Any ideas what the A means?

Uh-oh....
OK- so here's the deal: I recently 'acquired' a minty-mint 2008 Speedmaster Pro 3570.50 from a buddy here on TRF (Thanks again, Bill!) as a kind of weekend/workhorse watch- aka something to wear that's maybe a little more 'casual' than my ss/plat Yacht-Master.So- I get the watch, head down to the Omega store on 5th Avenue in NYC and have a black rubber strap with white contrast stitching on a deployant buckle attached. ($405!!!)The customer service is fantastic there... no 'tude, and knowledgable, nice people! Glad to be part of the Omega forum now, too-So...to the uh-oh part. The Speedy is probably the most comfortable watch I own, and has been getting a lot more wrist time than the YM. I'd go so far as to say I actually enjoy wearing it MORE- for both looks and comfort.Just wanted to share this Saturday morning, and will post pics soon.... have a happy Holiday everyone!
