Gucci Takes the Plunge Into High Horology with New Gucci Dive Watch
(As seen in the October issue of WatchTime.)At Baselworld, Gucci announced it will launch a new men¡¯s watch that stands apart from the brand¡¯s other watches. Due out next year, the Gucci Dive is an official divers¡¯ watch, certified to adhere to ISO standard 6425. But what is most significant about it is its movement.The movement in the Gucci Dive is not a standard ETA movement, like those used in Gucci¡¯s other mechanical watches, but a GP3300, a high-end automatic made by the Sowind Group. Two years ago, Sowind, parent of Girard-Perregaux, became Gucci¡¯s sister company when it was acquired by the luxury-goods conglomerate PPR (which in June was renamed ¡°Kering¡±). Michele Sofisti is the CEO of both Sowind and of Gucci¡¯s watch division.The 3300 movement is Girard-Perregaux¡¯s workhorse, used in such G-P watches as the Sea Hawk 1000M and Chrono Hawk 1000M (in which it is paired with a Dubois D¨¦praz chronograph module). The Gucci Dive will be much more expensive than other Gucci watches: th

In-Depth: Introducing The Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic 1958 (Live Photos, Full Specs, Official Pricing & Availability)
I get a lot of joy out of writing about new releases, but only those that I think are really well done. Frankly, it’s not often I can say that a brand new watch is offering you ( / me / us) a whole lot, but today, with this new Jaeger-LeCoultre, I can it say it and mean it. You’re looking at the new JLC Geophysic 1958 family. This 38.5mm watch will be available in stainless steel, rose gold, and platinum (all in limited numbers), features a heaping dose of vintage inspiration, and offers a lot of technology we want in a cutting edge piece of modern horology. Allow me to go into great detail on this one, because I think it’s worth it. The History of the (Original) JLC Geophysic 2 OF 42 Originally created back in 1958, the Geophysic celebrated two distinct events. The first was the 125th anniversary of the manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre and the second was the world’s first "International Geophysical Year." This was an effort put forth

Rolex sale!?!?!?!
Got a call from an AD last week. Seems their shop in DE is closing (in bankruptcy) so they are liquidating everything. They have a bunch of watches and the minmum discount is 20% (professionals) and goes up to 35% (DJs, DDs and such). Since I had my eye on a watch for two years now, I took the opportunity to snag a white Explorer II for a cool 30% off. It is new/old stock being a Z series without the newest features, but it was at a price I couldn't refuse. And with no sales tax in DE, I think I made a great purchase. Anyone near DE should take the opportunity to swing in and check out what's left since they plan on discounting even further as their closing date approaches. Now I only have one problem....and maybe you guys can help. I can't wear the watch until I tell my wife I bought yet another one. She said I could buy another, but she had that passive/aggressive tone that suggests "I dare you." And I'm dying to get the watch on. It's just torture. Any suggestions on how

Omega Seamaster 120m inquiry
I've just acquired Omega Seamaster 120m (2411.10.00) in excellent condition.Someone has told me that Seamaster 120m is a Ladie's watch. It seemed to be little large for ladies watch but little small for men's watch. Does anyone have info as to the gender of this watch?

Waterproof strap for radiomir?
I have started looking at the radiomir cased Panerais with the wire lugs and have a simple question. Are there waterproof straps available for them? I am not going to dive with it, but I do like to have a strap that can take anything. Leather is out of the question. Rubber would be fine, I use that on my 176. But some other material that you don't need to dry if it gets wet would also be fine, maybe nylon? I guess they all take 26mm straps? I googled it but it seems that I could only find straps for springbars, will they also be usable with the wire lugs? I assume you loosen the screws on the backside, slide the wires out, and then remove the wires somehow from the strap?
