James Bond Wears Omega Watch In 007: Blood Stone Video Game
While this is not exactly a surprise, it is pretty neat. James Bond has been wearing an Omega watch for a long time (since maybe 1995). The brand was able to usurp Rolex - as was the watch chosen by Ian Flemming originally. In the upcoming James Bond 007: Blood Stone video game, the digitized version of the Daniel Craig will wear a prominent Omega Seamaster Professional Ref. 22005000 watch. It is part of the Planet Ocean collection and has a retail price of $3,950. I believe that this is the same watch he wore in one of the recent movies. Perhaps Quantum of Solace.The watch is a good look for Band (and anyone really), and is thankfully not one of the branded limited edition models made for the fact that 007 wears an Omega. The Seamsater Pro is a 45.5mm wide model and funny enough looks smaller on the digital character's wrist than it should given the size of the case. Unless I missed something and Daniel Craig has massive wrists. So imagine you have never seen the watch, play the game,

Hands-On: The Girard-Perregaux Minute Repeater Tourbillon With Gold Bridges
After Girard-Perregaux took home the Aiguille d’Or at the 2013 GPHG with its Constant Force Escapement piece, it claimed a staggering level of haute horology. That’s why a tourbillon minute repeater turned inside out for your viewing pleasure is really no surprise from the manufacture. We were big fans of the enamel dial 1966 Minute Repeater a couple of years ago, and, if aiming to surpass that was the goal, bringing the back to the front and adding a tourbillon is certainly a way to do it. 1 OF 5 The Tourbillon Minute Repeater is rather stunning to behold. The open-worked concept displays the striking mechanism’s components up front. There is no wrist or skin or case confining the chimes, only a layer of sapphire crystal.The 18k gold case itself is shaped, front and back, as an acoustic amplifier. Notice that the hammers are mounted on jewels to reduce friction, a means to increase both the speed of the strikes as well as the force of their impact. The

I just realized something odd about my Seikos.....
I have "only" four Seikos in my current collection and all of them are titanium! This wasn't a conscious plan, it just worked out that way.I guess I just like Seiko titanium! Let me see yours!

Novice Automatic Question...
I've been a big automatic fan and I've bought some very modest ones where I could. One thing I noticed is that the escapement wheel moves faster if I shake the watch harder. Does this affect how it keeps time? If I am running, and my arms are moving, is the accuracy of the time keeping affected over the 35 minutes that I am running at a faster, sustained speed?I noticed this with a skeletal wind-up too.Thanks for the education.

10 inch wrist, can't find a watch
Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and looking for some help, I have searched the internet for several days now looking for a every day watch in the $50-150 range that will fit my 10 inch wrist, all I have been able to find are more versions of the same cheap $40 watch I got from my local big & tall chain store. I had bought a nice watch with a 51mm face but could not find a watchband long enough to make the watch work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
