Dude, even I'm priced out of the market now. Whether it's the cool JDM LE stuff or domestic Frogs for over $1K, I'm done.

Re: New IWC Spitfire Flyback Chronograph LE
Dunno why, but this one ain't quite working for me. Still, it's better to have choices than not, though with only 60 pieces in the wild, this is more of a footnote than anything else. As for Kern, to call him a divisive figure in the industry would be to grossly understate things. Still, for all his...

Re: Ceramic Bathyscaphe Review
If my ceramised titanium Bathy wasn't a goddamn unicorn, I'd trade it in for this one in a heartbeat. Yes, in person it's just that good.
In fact, I'm going to torture myself with one again tomorrow at their medical preview tomorrow.

Re: US Millionaire sues UK Rolex guy...
This might explain Dowling's sudden retirement from moderator on TZ's Rolex forum. It's hard to believe that he'd knowingly traffic in counterfeits (most likely we're talking about frankens, etc, as preciously noted), but hey, anything's possible.

Re: This Speedmaster CK2998 kind of cool
PS - As for the CK2998 itself, I've handled it several times in person, and was even offered one by the Fith Avenue Omega boutique, but it does absolutely nothing for me. Damn, Adam... You should have scooped it up anyway and paid it forward to keep it in the community. Made a few bucks in the proc...

Re: This Speedmaster CK2998 kind of cool
This is definitely poised to become another clusterfook like the Silver Snoopy, never mind that there are more than a thousand more of these being produced. As much as I love my Snoop Dogg, I absolutely hate the precedent that it set for future Speedy LEs (i.e. long waiting lists, speculators specul...

Re: New Timeless Bremont Limited Edition
How much does it really cost to modify for no date complication? $1k, $5k? Stowa modifies the ETA 2824 to remove the date complication from the movement in its $1K Flieger, but the crown position is still there. However, according to Al Archer (respected independent watchmaker): "To remove the addi...

Re: New Timeless Bremont Limited Edition
Since we're on the subject, it would be kind of cool if ETA made a decent no-date automatic again. They won't – no market demand – but then we don't exactly represent the market.

Re: New Timeless Bremont Limited Edition
Not sure why anyone would care one way or the other, but there you have it. I'd care because when I pay $5500 for a watch I expect one that feels properly engineered. And a watch with a useless third crown position and an audible but hidden date mechanism feels like a hack. It bugged me on a $1000 ...

Re: New Timeless Bremont Limited Edition
I'm 100% sure it just covers the date, since there's no way in hell that ETA's gonna make a no-date version of the 2836, nor would there be any economic incentive for Bremont to modify one for a limited edition comprised of 100 pieces. Not sure why anyone would care one way or the other, but there y...

Re: New Timeless Bremont Limited Edition
I like the watch but find the hour hand looks a little out of place, personally I'd prefer if it was fully lumed and outlined like the minute hand. I get that folks are leery of the hour hand, but given that this watch is based on the MBII and that's its trademark handset, it's hard to see how chan...

Love it. Love. It. Seriously, I wouldn't change a damn thing – the ecru lume fits the design brief perfectly (and glows like Chernobyl), the blued handset is gorgeous, the 12-hr bezel is a neat touch and the lack of a date is the cherry on the sundae. If I had the bones on hand, I'd gladly pay retai...
