A while ago I got my cousins inherited 1959 model OP serviced at a local shop. It got a new mainspring and I think the crown and tube were replaced along with crystal and gaskets. No issues and because it had not been serviced in 30 years it was less t…

My original ‘Oyster’ bracelet has no scratches or damage, but I am now going to be wearing it everyday and am worried about posible scratches in the OEM bracelet, so I am thinking about buying a Chinese Jubilee clone bracelet to install on the watch for a period of time (don’t want to get a rubber watch band)

This has been happening for many decades already, so they have been lying to the world for many years.
Finally, this also explains why even the best…
Black Bay 58 Burgundy 5-link fits the OG 58s
Confirmation straight from a boutique employee with a picture below. Said it’s a good fit as expected. Gotta love how Tudor immediately came out and said it wouldn’t fit. Not available for order yet, but said to be $975 (yikes).

And then it happened. I had to made a decision to trim my watch collection. I parted ways with my JLC Reverso, a loyal wrist partner for more than 10 years and a recent Omega Speedy.
