Xezo Air Commando Hands On
In the world of watches, whether “luxury” or “affordable” there are a handful of names that come up again and again in each category (and across categories at times). Every now and then an unfamiliar name will surface and provide a new option for watch enthusiasts. Xezo however, is not a new name: they have been producing “sensibly priced, high-quality, handcrafted luxury items in limited quantities designed with exquisite beauty to express the creative side of your personality” since 2001. Since 2002 Xezo (pronounced Zee-zo) has been producing watches with some similar and appreciated traits: limited runs (usually 500 per piece), Swiss movements and reasonable prices.I came across the subject of this piece, the Xezo Air Commando, when looking for a new, affordable sports watch. I needed something that I could wear in the pool and a crystal that would stand up to my klutziness; I was after a Swiss movement and a rotating diver-style bezel and a price

Help recognising Omega Constellation c.1950/60s
watch2.jpgwatch1.jpgAttached are two pictures (highest quality I can get unfortunately) of a watch I recently came into the possession of.It was given as a wedding gift in 1960 and the strap has been replaced. The crown has a small omega symbol on it, and as far as I am aware it has not been replaced. I am struggling to identify it using the Omega archives. I believe it may have been part of the "International Collection" of the time. My other guess was that it may have been a very old marriage/franken. It is not in working order (my guess is that it has been over wound). I would like to get it fully restored and wanted to know whether it was worth sending to Omega for this. Thanks for your help.

Incoming Vintage Diver ($.25 to Scott - Royalty)
Actually, I think I owe him a bit more than that. After seeing his post on Galco, I was now familiar with the brand. I know that he sold his shortly after it's arrival, so I figured the one that showed on the 'bay was his. After the arrival, I am guessing that it was not.None the less - a cool vintage diver is now on my wrist. I apologize for the quick and dirty pics - I should have wiped it down a bit more to show how good of shape this watch is really in. It is stellar!Take care all!B

15400ST blue dial
Just wondering if any of you own a 15400ST blue dial and if it is rare or if there is a wait list for it. I understand that it is boutique only and the closest one to me is in NYC. Trying to decide between that or a 15202. I like the size of the 15450 but it only comes with a silver dial.
