    Thieves are almost always targeting watches with the greatest mass market appeal (like Rolex) versus some more obscure high horology brands unknown to the average non watch enthusiast. Still so many style elements are shared between many luxury brands, some watches may be mistaken by a thief...

    PSA: be mindful of your surroundings out in public and don't flash your nicer watches out and about, nowhere is completely safe apparently. https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/man-taking-photos-of-his-mclaren-pistol-whipped-and-robbed-of-rolex-watch-in-malibu/2879631/#l2hs0bg07vc93tsippp

    Stopped by a local Omega Boutique hoping to check out the new Speedmaster 57,and by luck they had a piece in stock. It was already spoken for but they let me check it out. I think I'm sold on one now, I put my name in for another 57 in green ??

    The new Caliber 9906 used in the 2022 Speedmaster 57 is a manual wind, not the same automatic movement that's found in the other models you mention above. That may be some source of confusion. Here's a stock image of the case back in case you're skeptical:

    Replaced the leather strap on my SBGM241 with a compatible factory GS bracelet I sourced from Asia. Overall pleased with the look, think I'll keep it this way for a while, but if I get bored I'll throw the leather back on.

    By some minor miracle my special order GS arrived TWO DAYS after I put down my deposit which meant it was already on the way to my local boutique and I was just lucky enough to claim it. The SLGH009 limited edition Hi Beat 550 pieces worldwide to celebrate the 55th anniversary of their...

    On a related topic, so (maybe) stupidly, I saw this latest in the recent run of Grand Seiko limited edition release announcements and TBH, they've been doing too many of these lately mostly being LE dial recolors, etc...

    1. Find a watch with a mechanical movement if you want a skeletonized watch, either an automatic self-winder, or a manual wind movement 2. Skeletonized watches tend to be pricier than their not see-through counterparts 3. Use a watch buying website like Chrono24 to get an idea of what...

    Family friend of mine recently picked up the GS SBGE271, aka the 'Fall' watch from the new 4 seasons collection of GMTs. I got to try it on and its definitely a beautiful piece in person.

    Porsche Design outsources the watch making to existing Swiss watchmakers. In the past they contracted IWC which is a pretty renowned brand but currently contracts the work to a lesser known company named Eterna.
