Giveaway: Nixon Steelcat Watch
Nixon, the California-based watch brand, wants a lucky aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer winner to wear a Steelcat timepiece for the rest of the summer. The Steelcat is a large 48mm wide, steel cased watch available in three styles. Inside the watch is a Swiss quartz chronograph movement which also has the date. According to Nixon, the Steelcat is made for the "waterman's life." Funny since steel sinks and cats tend to dislike water. Though as a diver, it is water resistant to 300 meters so perhaps sinking is a good thing. It certainly has a fun surfing flair to it. Attached to the watch is a custom silicon strap. Price is $600 - $650 depending on the style. Winner gets their choice. Enter for a chance to win one below.To Enter You Must: 1. Comment on this post below (on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer, not Facebook or elsewhere you might see this article) before the giveaway is over with your valid e-mail address where required. In the body of your comment mention your favorite watch(es) to wear to

Ebel 1911 BTR Chronograph -- ref. 9137L73
People asked to see some of my Ebels, so here's one to start what will be a series of posts over the next few weeks.But first, a little history. Many know this story, but perhaps many more do not. Ebel is one of those strangely obscure brands; they are loved by many watch enthusiasts, but dismissed by others as being a fashion brand. I suspect the reasons behind the dismissal are two-fold: They are owned by the Movado Group, and they seem to have specialized in ladies watches, most of which have...quartz...movements.Let me say this about that. Yes, they sell quartz watches, and yes, they have during various periods (including now, unfortunately) specialized in ladies watches. But their ladies watches are really just plain spectacular. One reason I get away with having 1.) nice watches, and 2.) a happy marriage is that my wife's watch collection is easily as valuable as mine. But sparkly things float her boat, rather than the mechanical beating heart that floats mine. Her Ebel Brasilia

JLC: What's a jumping stop seconds?
Some of the really technical complications and functions are a bit difficult to get your head round, you need a degree in engineering just to work them out! Thought this was quite a good video showing the Jaeger-LeCoultre jumping stop seconds mechanism, not sure if we need to tell the time to 1/6 of a second though but each to their own...

Thanks John...
...and admins for your continued efforts to develop this discussion board. I know all of you have busy schedules (browsing the web for watch info does take up alot of time right?!:D:D:D:D) and all have put a lot of work in to make this transition happen. Without the sponsors of WTF this would most likely also not have happened so thanks to them as well.We are all very privileged to have such a information rich community that is so tightly concentrated, it makes it much more personal and pleasurable. Some of you are actually in the "biz" so to have you here (to me at least) is something very special. As some of you know probably I was pretty much kicked out of Timezone and found this place as refuge. After that happening, everything just took off. I am very grateful for all the knowledgeable members of this site that have helped me and others regarding numerous topics and that have made watch collecting all the more pleasurable. After all, what's so special about drinking a fine bottle

Newbie question for ROO
Does AP sell a RG bracelet for the RG 44mm ROO? I like the fact that for just by adding a bracelet, I could do curls in between patients.
