Zenith Class Dark Silver Chronograph 44mm

JS Watch Frisland Classic
The Frisland Classic is the latest new piece from Iceland-based JS Watch. What I think is generally amusing about the brand is that the traditional style of their watches casts a personality on the small company that doesn't precisely communicate who they are. Youthful, stylish, and full of a lot of character the people who run JS Watch produce these watches as hip traditional timepieces rather being stuffy and conservative themselves.Knowing that helps understand their collection as well as the them begin watches such as the Frisland Classic and the earlier Islandus 44mm that we did an watches-dealer review of here. With classic, handsome proportions the Frisland Classic is a bit smaller at 42mm wide in a highly polished steel case. At 12mm thick it isn't an ultra-thin watch but should rather wear "substantially" without feeling too thick. Love for this watch is going to be all about the dial. JS Watch adopted a lot of elements from tradition pocket watches in the design. In fact, it

Sending this to Secaucus...
After much mulling, some great recommendations. and checking postage/insurance/reliability issues with sending overseas etc., I've decided to send this old faithful Seamaster to Omega in NJ, USA for a refurbish....What should I expect..???Here some pics I took with harsh light to show the worst..

Hamilton & Bulova: Are these watches worth getting serviced?
IMG_0117.jpgIMG_0118.jpgIMG_0120.jpgIMG_0121.jpgAre these watches worth getting cleaned up and serviced? If not, I'd rather sell them and contribute towards the Rolex fund :)I'm trying to get these serviced only if it would increase their value considerably since I didn't put a lot into them. Like I mentioned, my ultimate goal is a Rolex. :)Also if anyone could recommend a dependable watchmaker near Hackensack, NJ that would be grand. Cheers!

Incoming AP RO 15300
Recently got the AP bug after spending time on the AP sub-forum here..Got the 15300 on order, 39mm black dial with bracelet, which i think pays tribute well to the original RO design by Gerald Genta. I am fascinated with both designs by him, the other being the Nautilus 5711/1a which i am hoping to get few years down the road and hopefully that being the last piece in the crazy watch chase.Currently having Pams, Rolexes, Omegas and assorted brands but this is the first AP. The hexagonal design of the bezel is the feature that sets it of for me. and i prefer the version of the RO to be closer to the original design so i am not so hot on the ROOs for now (hopefully for a long long while so i do not have to spend on expanding the AP collection). Also believe that sizes in respective brands should stay the way they were originally designed, i.e. Rolex sports 40mm, PAMs at 44/47mm, AP 37/39mm. Base design/dimensions are good and will stay true to the purist even as sizes grown and shrink,
