Man, I mean man! Breitling does some killer watches and then they go and throw out some Green! I mean green is the man’s color. Ya, have to be original in the game. You can’t go don the color of your Arch enemy, that is just plain crazy! Thank goodness for the redeemer below the green nightmare! Come on, Breitling step it up! CTWG.
Seems to be a bunch of fake GMT Master II floating about the cabin as of late! Careful out there Rolex Lover, the need for the discontinued timepiece may get you in trouble. Check the bracelet for these junk slots and yes that is a fake in the picture. Check all components, bezel insert, Bezel movement, Winding mechanism, etc. These appear real in the hand and in the heft, but ohhhhh no they are fakes. You can always take the back off, if you trust a watchmaker, still most A.D.’s will not do this or do it for free. Hey, I bought this on the internet from “trustedrealwatches.com” can you authenticate? AHHH, no thanks. BE wise, know your seller! CTWG
Well, some people have tried to make a white watch that POPS! Most have failed and others fall flat with the attempt. Our goods friends at Oris, known primarily for Gents and tool style watches, hit the mark with this over-sized ladies piece! This timepiece will proudly push the white for spring and get the respect of the watch culture, all with one swing of the wrist. Depth is the key! The dial drops a bit with the white to make it right! Enjoy ladies! CTWG
Well, I’m not Brando, but he is sporting the GMT in this shot and what other way could I ever get mentioned with Brando. So, they picked the GMT for the Movie, but did he really care what time it was? I think not, your an errand boy for watchmakers! CTWG
Second in Motion.
Alright, everybody take apart your Chronograph and look with me. Have your ever wondered what mystical happenings occur when a Chronograph timer times out a minute. Peep the minute recorder in action and wonder no more. WARNING: This Video is for true watch geeks and the like, video is blown up very large for your pleasure. Now, when you see that little Chrono move one minute you will know what happenings are going on below. Pay special attention to the right side of the screen to see the transition. Click second in motion and enjoy! CTWG
Well, there is a brand called Mido and it is part of Swatch Group. It makes some cool watches! You probably have not witnessed them in your local A.D. for other Swatch Group products, but they do show up here and there. Putting a brand on the American map is not easy, and Mido has not made the huge plunge to take America by storm. Still, they offer some nice product. With very few points of sale, seeing these in the flesh may be hard, I believe about 40 doors in the USA! Not much for a Swatch Group brand, but I anticipate more. CTWG

Had the pleasure of meeting the guys that run the site and blog Watchonista in Basel this year! Interesting perspective on the watch industry and how it ticks. Nice to see the Swiss, blogging the Swiss watch industry. Who better to keep tabs on the game, and how it’s run. CTWG
Sure, you can hit a shot or two outside the Rolex Hall in Basel, but the real stuff is done by the pros. Here are the new introductions from the big guys. Check the Daytona the sleeper beauty of the show. The gold fleck dial on the ladies new models is outstanding also. If you really enjoy complications and didn’t have the scratch for the Yachtmaster II, your dreams have come true. ENJOY. CTWG
Yachtmaster II in Steel And Gold! Affordable complications!
This Dial is the star of the ladies line!
This will be a new classic for the line!
My personal favorite for the Rolex introductions, outstanding dial and feel.
Hey, I just got back! Here is the star of the Basel show as usual and should be a staple in the Rolex line for years to come. The larger Orange hand Explorer II is a hit needless to say, but people really did dig it. Other shots and Rolex newbies to come!! CTWG
