NOMOS Arrival
Many of you know how much I like NOMOS and I picked one up today, the Club 38 Night Sky. They ordered it as I wanted the open case back. I think it looks nice even though it’s just a manual wind movement. A very thin and light watch. I think I’m really…

Watch toughener
Seems like a decent part of what makes a G-Shock among the tougher watches on the planet is the outer polymer shroud, which protects the actual case.
Continue readingSo… no-brainer, if we’re talking tough watches, to produce a mechanical watch with a similar protection system. There’s already the Mühle-Glashütte SAR models with the rubber bezel. It would not at all surprise me if someome popped up with some obscure brand/model who did something like a full-surround protective shroud – closest I can think…
Talk me out of a Hamilton Pilot Pioneer Auto H76205530
Been a lurker for a while, looking for a new daily. I normally rotate between my Seamasters and a few vintage Omegas. I am not rich enough to not be paranoid about damaging my expensive watches. Wife bought me a SwOmega Lava (I love orange) as a bea…

LL Bean Hamilton
While I collect and restore 19th Century pocket watches, I found an LL Bean Chronograph (Valjoux ETA 7750 movement) #9446 at a local estate sale (no strap, badly scratched crystal) and paid $10 for it ! Serviced and adjusted the movement, put in a new …

New Rolex Calibre 7135
While everyone is salivating (or not) over the new models that Rolex just released like the Land-Dweller, what caught my eye is the new Calibre 7135 movement that apparently runs at 5Hz. I do not recall Rolex ever releasing a Hi-Beat movement before or why they decided it necessary this time.
Continue readingAccording to what I’ve read Rolex applied for 16 patents and the movement is somewhat thinner than previous movements.
One of the main features is something Rolex is calling a Dynapulse…
