Panerai Luminor Marina SE China - Pam00367 M

Jaeger-LeCoultre is in collaboration with the US Navy Seals
And the latest limited edition parts Jaeger-LeCoultre in collaboration with the US Navy Seals, are certainly not for the average man. Aptly named as Master Compressor watches, these watches are inspired by the gear used by the elite and clandestine unit of the U.S. armed forces.

Hands-On: With The Tissot Seastar 1000 Automatic Professional Chronograph Valjoux
Tissot has always made some nice looking watches.? The problem is, the majority of them are quartz-based, and no matter how good looking a watch is, we (collective "we," nay, royal "we") just can't take a watch seriously if it's got a battery (unless, of course, it looks like this, this, or this).?So when Tissot showed us their new Seastar 1000 Automatic Chronograph, we said, "Ok, this will do."? Granted, it's enormous (49mm) but some people are into that.? The Seastar 1000 is a certified diver, and it uses a Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph.? It is rated 30 bars, or 990 feet and will be limited to 1000 pieces at a price of $2250. But that isn't the full story. 1 OF 2 Sure, it's large and a little "TSOVET" ish, but the construction details on this piece are worth noting.? It uses screw down pushers, and the bezel's minute markers are raised, not just simply painted on like one might expect to see with a watch like this.? We're not saying this is anything novel, but it d

One more really rare 14K GRUEN CUSHION CASE
This one is really nice........14K Green Gold. Very early model pre 1920 I believe. All original!!! 15J cal. 91 movement. Looks great and runs great as well. Case is a very early model. Stem and crown are part of the case much like early Walthams. In near mint condition!!! I have another cushion in 18KWG with a Cal 610 17J movement. I will post photos of it shortly.

Another Diver rubber strap question
Hello,I just bought a ROO Panda. I have the Hornback on it right now but I want to add a Diver rubberstrap to use in the summer. I have a few questions:What size do I need for the Diver strap. On the Hornbackstrap with folding clasp, I use the third hole from the end.What is the size of the diverstrap at the buckle end (24mm??), is it possible to put it on by myself or do I need a AD, and finally what is the price for Diver rubberstrap and buckle.Thanks//Fred

A fantastic find!
I've alway loved watches. My father had a nice watch collection and he got my brothers and I to appreciate the value of fine watches. And to this day it is a hobby that I enjoy. A lot. So it was only natural that I wanted to transmit this experience to my son, so I got him into learning and appreciating fine watchmaking.He got a Seiko diver at 11 (a $200 watch at 11 is a huge deal...), and when he turned 15 I gave him my Marathon diver, which he loves. A couple of years ago while on a cruise in the caribbean, we stopped at lots of duty free shops, to look at watches. When I asked him what would he like for his 18th birthday, he said, to my surprise, that he would like a Speedmaster. He not only liked the looks, but the history behind it, and the fact that it was not an automatic.It seemed like he had learned a thing or two... Since that day I have been trying to find a special speedmaster. Something that would show that I did something more than write a check. So I
