  1. I love Tourneau, esp. since they almost all they do is watches.

    Near me, Tourneau is great, I was even able to haggle down the price of my new SMP and they sent me a $250 gift certificate to boot (for the next time I spend over 1000)

    One of the coolest places I've seen PP's is at Harrods when I was in London studying abroad. That place has an amazing high end watch selection.

  2. Many of us instinctively choose the "Swiss ETA" movement when purchasing reps. How/why has ETA come to be known for its history and quality? Take a look at this essay from : http://watchescorner.blogspot.com/2007/08/...5-years-of.html

    From Ebauches SA to ETA SA: 75 years of Swiss movements

    ETA, which is nowadays part of Swatch Group, is the largest Swiss manufacturer of movements, including the expensive mechanical movements appreciated by the amateurs of high horology. Behind these three rough letters, more romantic denominations like Valjoux, Unitas, and Peseux denote some hidden treasures, one would like to discover.

    ETA was not established in one day. The birth of such an industrial concentration actually even required the energetic intervention of the Swiss Confederation itself. Curiously this enthralling history is difficult to reconstitute. Only many partial documents exist (see bibliography), but there is not a single comprehensive account relating its history since the creation of Ebauches S.A. in 1926 until today

  3. WEDNESDAY

    Starting off the New Year with two straps I NEVER thought I'd combine or have. My Andrew PAM 177h on a Kaktus Havanna Drifter strap. A GORGEOUS brown. :wub:

    Oh, and that's my Rotring Skynn fountain pen. Comfy and avant-garde.

    South Florida is in the 50Fs/10Cs and it'll be in the 30Fs/0Cs tomorrow. Brrrr!! But look at that sun and sky! :tu:

    THURSDAY

    Here's the "TeeJay" shot: the TWP PAM 210 on the Caoutchouc Rubber Diver strap. Looks like a Moon Landing. ;)

    No complaints about the weather young lady, check out temperatures in Fairfield, CT! It was like 10 degrees F here today :( !!

  4. The date window is too small, and the He valve is too low. As far as I am aware, this is one of the best replicas availabe of this watch though. Try some our collectors, they may have something.

    Thanks so much!

    Unfortunately, my eye made a decision before my brain could process it and next thing I knew I had plunked down money for a Gen! Pics soon!
