New York Times On: Watch Advertising, Obsessive Watch Geeks
It is charming when you have someone who doesn't know a lot about watches do an article on the watch industry. That isn't to say that the journalist erred in their reporting, but rather that there is a degree of naivete to the tone regarding the topic of discussion, which is watch advertising. A lot of people correctly point out that there is a lot of consistency among watch advertising. You see the hands in the same orientation most of the time, and the date often has an "8" in it, or is at 31. The orientation of the hands is usually at about 10:10. There is nothing at all significant about this time, it is all aesthetics any symmetry. Two hands pointing up in a more or less symmetrical position just seems to look better.The article points out how watch ads of old basically had the hands in the opposite position pointing down.

Authenticating an Omega SM 300m Pro
Is it possible to get the red credit card style cards re-issued by Omega. Reason I ask, I purchased an Omega SM and after owning a SM Casino Royale I¡¯m fully confident that is a Seamaster. When I purchased the watch, the seller provided the instruction book, box (both the red box and the white) and one card. However the card is blank, my Casino Royale had three cards(serial number, warranty number, chronometer cert). It feels and looks correct, I took it two jewelers and they said it¡¯s legit. I just want to be able to have the documents it should have. The watch serial number is 8078XXXX, from my search this is 2004 watch. Does anyone if this is even possible. Do I send it to a service center for service and would they re-issue the cards, at least the watch serial number and chronomtere card, since I assume they test it and it¡¯s a SM chronometere watch?

26320 or 15202
I know one is a chronograph, however they are near each other in price. I want a RO as my next piece but I don't want to settle for the 15400. Anyone's opinion and why would be appreciated.

2 questions about Breitling
I have searched extensively and cannot find the answers to these questions...1. Does the current Airwolf have the jet engine dial or does it have the B1 style, vertical grooves running through the 3 and the 9? The web site shows the vertical grooves, but all the other pics i can find it has a 'suburst' style dial. If anyone has pics that would be great, because I am quite interested in this model.2. Does Breitling make the tourbillion movement in their Bentley tourbillion watch? Or is it outsourced? If so, who makes it?Thanks!
