Possible Sea-Dweller Problem????
Hey all...quick question. A few days ago I went to wear the Sea-Dweller. I hadn't worn it in a few days so I wound it up, and went to set the time and the date. I set the date just fine, but when I pulled the crown out all the way to set the time, the hands wouldn't move. :eek: Uh-Oh. I was freaked out. I didn't try to force the issue, being afraid of breaking something, and knowing, obviously, that the hands should move EFFORTLESSLY when you turn the crown. I played with it; put the crown in and wound it a little more, put it all the way back in and took it out...finally the hands moved. My Sea-Dweller is running fine now, but I'm wondering if something is still wrong? Any thoughts? Has this happened to any of you? Incedentally...it's also about 5 seconds fast per day...is it worth sending it in for an adjustment??- Dan -

Service Question on IWC Mark XVI Spitfire
Hello all,I had a question for the community out there about an IWC repair at Tourneau My lovely wife got me an IWC Mark XVI Spitfire for our wedding back in '09. It has been a gem and I've worn it almost every day (but with care) over the past 1.5 years. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that the raised "2" on the face had come unfastened (2 pins holding it in place) and was bouncing around underneath the crystal. ...Not pleased.My wife took the watch back to the AD where she bought it (Tourneau) and they sent it out. The watch is still under warranty from both IWC and Tourneau. The Tourneau Service rep came back and told her that the crown was bent, and that the crown misalignment caused something internally to knock the number out of its place.Oh yeah, and they said the crown wasn't covered by the warranties. They said the repair would cost $375 (I guess he did mention to my wife that he could knock it down to $275 or so). Again, NOT PLEASED.Something smells fishy, but I am n

Zenith
The zenith is an imaginary point directly "above" a particular location, on the imaginary celestial sphere. "Above" means in the vertical direction opposite to the apparent gravitational force at that location. The opposite direction, i.e. the direction in which gravity pulls, is toward the nadir.thirtyfivemil...2/12/20/zenith/

Tried on the Dark Side of the moon!!
Sorry, no pics...but it is on display at the Boutique in NYC - My impressions....From initial view behind the glass...it's fairly unassuming - almost plastic looking...After putting it on and watching the light catch it...it's quite amazing...Shiny as hell, and the brushed/polished combination is really striking.The Cordura was more comfortable than you'd think, and actually looked pretty good...the Dial was stunning...pure liquid metal type sheen (in fact it is ZrO2)But, it was very light - a minus for me, a plus for others...Overall,,,it is a killer piece...The price hadn't bothered me, but when you look around the boutique a little more...the Speedmaster professional moonwatchWith Aventurine dial blows it away!! (for 500$ less) - and a more beautiful lemania movement on display, and moonphase...Also, the redgold deville chrono blue dial was just so amazing, that no other watch came close...I admire the Darkside, and think it is a great timepiece...but I have to bow out from the wait
