I¡¯m sure readers of this site will agree that one of the interesting, albeit more scarcely discussed elements?of?watch collecting is how desirable vintage watches - sometimes even important ones - are still being discovered now and then. These things don¡¯t happen all the time, obviously, but recently, an important discovery was made. A never seen before vintage Heuer Chronomatic was uncovered. And what¡¯s impressive about it is that it is believed to be one of Heuer¡¯s very first automatic chronographs and could very well be the oldest automatic Heuer chronograph watch in existence now. And this month, we retrace the story of how it was found.We also check out?one of my favorite watches from SIHH 2015, the new Montblanc Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum, and compare it to other worldtime watches that are on the market right now. Then, we?take?a closer look at one of my dream watches, the very rare and awesome Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grande Complication - only one of three in the

Took the Breitling Plunge
I have been contemplating buying my husband a Breitling for our 25th wedding anniversary. He already has a Rolex Submariner which is a gorgeous watch. He has always wanted a Navitimer, but I do not feel it is practical for him because of the 30 meter water resistance. He definitely needs more. He is tough on a watch and wouldn't think twice about washing his hands and not paying attention to the watch (or even washing dishes, that's why we lasted 25 years ).I took a chance and bought a Chronomat, black, steel/gold, black leather band.I have attached a picture from the website. I gave it to him and HE LOVES IT! He put his Rolex in the drawer and hasn't taken off his new Breitling. I am thrilled that he loves it. Worth every penny!

Water marks on ceramic planet ocean bezel! Need advice
Hi guys,I've owned my planet ocean for around 2-3 months now and have noticed some marks on the bezel. In my opinion it looks like some kind of grease had got on there and has been rubbed. No matter what I do it won't come off. I've tried washing up liquid and all kind of soaps.Any advice guys? I'm a little concerned !!In the pics it's around the 30 mark all at the bottom and up the side by 50.Cheers,OllyImageUploadedByTapatalk1441467624.563179.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1441467643.499338.jpg
