Hysek Earth Colosso Is A Weird Wonderful Watch Completely Out Of Place In Today's Market
I am afraid that the current state of the watch industry is not primed to appreciate watches like the Hysek Colosso. Today, fashion, looks, and style are very important. In essence, most of the emphasis is placed on offering watches to the super rich that look good. That is not always the case of course, and we still see interesting beasts like the Hysek Colosso.Seeing the Colosso reminds me of the DeWitt WX-1 Concept watch. Not because they look the same, but because they are bred from the same ilk. Two technically inclined science fiction watches meant for a very small number of enthusiasts. Each year you see a couple of watches like this which are debuted at Basel World, but this is certainly a very interesting model, from Hysek which is not typically a company to release such grand example of watch excess.The Colosso is really not a very pretty watch. While it does not have an offensive shape or anything like that, it looks like a planetary spaceship (literally to carry the planet)

Hamilton Parts request
Anyone know where I can get an NOS hairspring for a 987 movement? My watchmaker is repairing the movement on my Gladstoneand my avatar Cushion Formand below are his comments:Both of these were ready to ship for a while but sometimes act funny. These really old Hamilton's don't have much room for the hairspring to spin freely so they are very sensitive in different positions. I've been testing them in awkward positions and if they are not face up, face down and stem down they seem to gain or loose time and are easily affected by any movement and temperature changes. It would be nice if I had a batch of new old stock hairsprings for these but I don't

Did you know that COSC is only a ballpark figure?
I just returned from a short jaunt to the Edison Mall in Ft. Myers. While there, I visited Bailey Banks and Biddle to ask them about a watch I purchased a few months back that was running consistently at 7-8 seconds fast per day. My question to them was what it would take to have it regulated and how much (if it's not covered under warranty). Now, this is a $4,000 watch that is cosc certifed - so we're not talking about an inexpensive piece.The response I received was idiotic to be polite. I was told in no uncertain terms that COSC was only a "ballpark figue" and no jeweler would "stress out" over a few seconds. They would not regulate the watch and would only send it to the manufacture at my expense for a complete overhaul.Considering the rudeness of the employee and the curt manner of his response, Bailey Banks and Biddle has seen me cross their doorway for the last time. I can't believe the rude treatment and how easily they blew me off.Ok, I'm finished, I just wanted to rant

Advice please: "International Warranty"
I'm considering purchasing a BNIB Omega Speedmaster from a trusted seller with excellent feedback on TRF. He's offering an International Warranty. Obviously, this is not a US Warranty. Is this a problem at all?
