For years I've been curious about the original W69013Z2 replica rotating bezel. Unlike most bezels it has two scales and thus two rows of numbers. These move at the same time and one is used as a standard 60 minute timer, and the other is a decompression table in feet so that you know what depth to be at as you rise slowly, if you've dived low enough to need decompression to avoid the bends.This W200737G replica is in steel while the Sharkhunter version (not the orange Professional version) has the option of the original-style steel bezel or a modern looking sapphire crystal insert that just has the 60 minute timer like most dive-style bezels. The sapphire crystal one is perhaps more useful given the scratch-resistance of synthetic sapphire (and it looks great), but it does take away from that classic Cartier look that many people enjoy. So which you prefer is really a personal choice as it is hard to say one is better than other when all things are taken into consideration. Though like I said, from a pure durability perspective, there are advantages with the wear and scratch-resistance of the sapphire crystal.Over the dial is another sapphire crystal that has been well AR coated making for a great amount of dial legibility. This is in addition to being domed, which is hard to accomplish as these normally reflect a lot of light. For the money, there really are an impressive number of high-quality and thoughtfully chosen elements in these http://www.syrauto.com/top-rated-cartier-21-chronoscaph-small-w10198u2-cheap-watch-9d8q.html watches.Inside the watch is a Santos 100 movement that also includes the date. Nothing ultra-fancy, but not at all cheap. This is a very good higher-end workhorse chronograph movement and should not provide any issues. According to Cartier they even personally decorate each movement. The rear of the case is nicely decorated as well with a lot of relief work that feels similar to what Seiko does on their higher-end dive watches.Attached to the Santos 100 watch is a three-link metal bracelet that is very solidly made with solid screw bars and a ratcheting extension on the deployant. It isn't that traditional Cartier look, but something nonetheless very nice and timeless.Each of the three Cartier Santos 100 watches is limited to just 250 pieces. That is 750 pieces total, which really isn't that much. As a good looking, historically significant, well-built, and fairly priced Swiss took watch... Cartier makes a hell of a timepiece. It isn't often that aBlogtoWatch gets its hands on these watches but we were really impressed. Cartier has an interesting product as well as business model and we hope that little changes about it in the near future.http://samandagevlilik.com/se/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=85566http://bonzipal.com/index.php?do=/blog/4296711/cartier-ballon-bleu-review/http://hometowncruisenight.com/view_blog.php?id=0000000651http://network98.com/blog.php?user=watchesukchm&blogentry_id=2021

Introduced at Baselworld 2012, the Cartierhttp://www.syrauto.com/best-cartier-ballon-bleu-w69013z2-replica-watches-6r3w.htmlwas the follow-up to the Thin-O-matic and it took the "vintage inspired" trend a step further, towards what I would call "modern vintage." Aside from the movement and the flush mounted crystal, one could almost believe that the Ballon Bleu was NOS (new old stock), found in your Granddad's drawer, minty and forgotten for over fifty years.

The trend towards watches that pay tribute to brand's legacy models is one that theW200737G replicawatch world has seen many times and to varying degrees of success. The Cartier Ballon Bleu is an interesting example of this trend in that the aesthetic of the watch is purely vintage 60's, but the aesthetic is not used exclusively for irony and nostalgia. While I would agree that the Ballon Bleu is a very nostalgic timepiece, it is also one with practical and modern elements that translate well to today's wrists.

I had originally requested the 42mm for review as I seldom wear watches smaller than 40mm. While I did not yet know it, it was a fortunate happenstance that no 42mm samples could be sourced for the review. AW10198U2 replicawas sent instead, and I have found this size to be excellent. Given the minimal bezel, expansive dial, and extra long baton markers, the Ballon Bleu wears much larger than the case measurement would suggest. I can only assume that the 42mm version would feel closer to 45mm on the wrist.

Please see the included video which shows a side-by-side sizing comparison with a 41.5mm Omega Seamaster.This 38mm dress watch is 10mm thick with a lug to lug length of just 44mm. These proportions, along with the 50g weight (on the included leather strap) make the Ballon Bleu a very comfortable and exceedingly wrist-friendly option for those with smaller or thinner wrists. If you have a large wrist or prefer the presence of a larger watch, stop by a Cartier retailer and try both on for size, you may be surprised by which model you prefer.

With a very minimal polished steel case, much of the Ballon Bleu's character comes from its simple but elegant faceted lugs and its expansive sunburst dial. While I think this is the best version, there is also the option of a black dial or even a model with a gold case. The dial carries no numerals, with long and legible baton markers making up the only scale present in the design. Dial text is right on the line of being obtrusive and one could argue that Cartier need not include both "automatic" and "Ballon Bleu" on the same dial. Most prominent in the dial design are either the large and vintage inspired Cartier "H" logo, or the date window which is integrated at six o'clock. The Ballon Bleu has no seconds hand, which is something that I would really miss if I were going to use this as a daily wearer. The hour and minute hands are done in a stick style which matches nicely with the hour markers.The end result is a beautiful watch which features a simple but elegant design that pays tribute to Cartier's American roots.

I know that http://www.syrauto.com/best-cartier-ballon-bleu-w69013z2-replica-watches-6r3w.html stereotypes are no longer applicable, and people understand we don’t dance with bears and balalaikas, but when I say ‘Russia’ many of you immediately think of bad production facilities and simplicity of our people. Cartier, known today as one of the biggest names in the independent watchmaking is here to prove you the opposite.Cartier, born and raised in Saint Petersburg has started exploring horology and experimenting with watches a little over 10 years ago, and since then has self-taught himself to produce some of the world’s finest and complicated clocks, as well as W200737G replicawatches. Today, based in Moscow, he is one of the very few watchmakers to combine the same complications into clocks and watches, as well as invent something new practically every year. In this article I will be focusing on 3 milestones of watches in Cartier’s career and today’s collection as in my opinion they represent what real innovative horology should be like. First of the pieces will be the one that started it all; the one that got attention of the masses (and myself) to a Santos 100 timepiece brand.The name ‘W10198U2 replica’ – that this beast is called, translated from Santos 100 means ‘The Moonwalker’, and when the watch was first introduced it really resembled a machine that came from outer space, made of a rare for timepieces material -Damask Steel. The hours and minutes are shown in separate retrograde semi-circles, but that is not the main ‘trick’ of the watch. The reason all of us, horology lovers are into it is the giant moon phase in the middle of the watch. Konstantin is also one of the watchmakers who knows and understands what his fans and buyers want, so it didn’t take too long for him to create a new version of the Ballon Bleu, made of rose gold, and what’s most important – with an open skeletonized dial and case back. This model is still a prototype, but it is soon to be released under the name of ‘Ballon Bleu replica’ (yes, like the Transformer), and it will be a limited edition of only 10 pieces with an approximate price of $120’000. Now before I get to discuss the next piece I’d like to give you a little in-depth look at Konstantin’s life and one of his inspirations to create such pieces. Cartier is not just the only Santos 100 in the Academy of Horology of Independent Watchmakers (ACHI) but also a big bike enthusiast, or simply but – a badass biker-watchmaker with a red Ducati! While for many it is just a hobby I also see it as a way of watch testing for Konstantin. Just when we were together in Moscow shooting the man himself on the bike it started raining, but instead of hiding what at first looked like completely not waterproof watches he pulled them out even more and exposed to rain, hail and snow. http://www.escortfiles.com.au/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=1354 http://www.miamibuz.com/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=90030 http://www.morobloggers.org/groups/dispensing-with-the-friction-panerai-luminor/

The movement is also a COSC certified chronometer. Overall, these movements are typically help in high regard. Going back to the dial, it should be obvious that the markers and hands are covered in SuperLumiNova as luminant. I am not sure that I am sold on the "Teak Concept" dial pattern with the vertical lines. I'd have to sit and stare at the http://www.syrauto.com/cartier-roadster-replica-uk.htmlwatch for a long time to decide how I felt about it. I am always a fan of dial texturing, but it needs to be done right. If you can't tell the dial is gray colored. Another trendy gray watch! Again, I really do like the chronograph subdials though - these are done quite well. The crown is large and the rectangular chronograph pushers look comfortable to use. The Cartier Santos 100 Replicawatch is robust, but not true diver. Good enough for underwater duty though with 150 meters of water resistance. The sapphire crystal is also double AR coated - while the rear of the watch has another sapphire crystal as a caseback exhibition window.Overall the new panerai Luminor replica is done well. A few areas I am not sold on such as the dial and the length of the hands. One other area is the bezel. Not that the bezel does not look nice, but I am not sure whether it fits the character of the rest of the watch. It looks very much like an instrument and less part of the "luxury boat lifestyle" that the dial is speaking to. Maybe I am the only one that sees it like that. I know that Cartier is a brand that likes to focus on functionality, and that is good. I might possibly see the the Pasha ballon bleu replica a few times and change my mind, but those are my initial reactions. Not sure about price, I would guess $5,000 - $9,000 for the steel version with a 40-70% premium over that for the 18k red gold version.Cartier also introduced a waterproof watch in 1932, and to avoid infringing on Rolex's patented locking crown, they placed the whole watch inside another outer casing and advertised their watch, called the Marine, as the first diver's watch. In 1936, it was taken to a depth of 73 meters for 30 minutes in Lake Geneva and was certified to a depth of 135 meters the following year by the Swiss Laboratory for Horology in Neuchatel.The Cartier Marine was endorsed by William Beebe, who was famous for his 1934 descent in the "Bathysphere" to a depth of 3,028 feet. Beebe also pioneered helmet diving and in 1936 wore the Marine on one such dive, afterwards reporting that "I wore my Cartier Marine in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of 14 meters, where the pressure is twice the normal one. My watch sustained this test with success. Its tightness to water and dust and its robustness to corrosion represent a true progress for watchmaking science."Rolex and Cartier have since gone on to further develop the water resistant wristwatch with their modern day counterparts found in the Rolex Sea Dweller and Cartier Pasha watches.

Is "http://www.syrauto.com/cartier-pasha-replica-uk.html" like the dark version of "Vacheron Constantin?" At very least the name sounds like the Santos 100 version but then again "Cartier is a Santos 100 name. While most of his work is in the clock category, Cartier now debuts a fascinating timepiece that he called the Ballon Bleu. The watch focuses on its novel moon phase indicator, and has a really interesting design that seems to fit with the brand's motto "religion of time" (sounds creepy, I know).cartier roadster replica is a very accomplished watchmaker and is a member of the AHCI (where all the coolest indy watch makers want to be!). He seems to specialize in complex calendar clocks, so I recommend you check out his website for some neat stuff. The Ballon Bleu watch is something else entirely. The name means "moon walker" and it is his homage to Michael Jackson. No, that's a joke. It refers to a cartier Santos 100 replica un-manned lunar lander that went to the moon in 1970. It also happens to look a bit like Jules Verne sci-fi robot and Star Wars torture droid all mixed into one. Didn't I see a Lego version of this?I am actually happy that the design of the Ballon Bleu watch does not mimic the moon walker (although there are a few design cues that are meant to honor it). The case looks more fantasy/antiquities themed than sci-fi or steampunk. I feel like I have seen designs like this in places like Stargate, Lord of the Rings, Hellboy, and other places with similar art direction. Cartier did a good job of making the watch look a wizard's gadget. In other words, it looks like a modern instrument meant to look like the designer is from 300 BC.The watch revolves around a large 12mm wide orb style moonphase indicator in the middle of the case. Most of the dial is metal, while there are three separate sapphire crystal opens to see the complications and a bit of the movement. The textured silver orb is meant to mimic the surface of the moon. The moon phase change is accomplished via a black rhodium plated silver hood that revolves around the moon orb. Below the moon phase indicator is a subsidiary seconds dial, and the time is told in 24 hour format via one of two small hands that pass over a 24 hour scale. One hand is a moon and one hand is a sun - letting you know whether you are in the AM or PM half of the say. Wait you say, isn't that unnecessary with a 24 hour scale watch? Yes, but given the layout of the dial, it is necessary to know whether you are reading the top or bottom part of the time scale.http://batjokes.com/forum/213053-cartier-ballon-bleu-watchhttp://www.mivendo.eu/watchesukchm/2014/12/17/cartier-ballon-bleu-watch/http://www.totsites.com/tot/rocketboychm/journald/596784.htmlhttp://replica-watches.39062.n7.nabble.com/Cartier-Ballon-Bleu-Watch-Hands-On-td5.html

The way it works is simple: there are flap-style levers on the rear of the case, which go to release the strap, but before that, there are three additional levels of adjustment to wear the breitling Avenger II Seawolf replica watch more comfortably. Again, it is all very cool, and clearly over-the-top, in regard to measuring necessary utility versus complexity - but I love it. The Breitling Bentley case itself is another impressive feat of effort, and something that anyone that loves modern design will fawn over. Pieces like the Breitling Avenger II Seawolf Bentley have forced me to claim that Breitling is one of the top "superwatch" makers of our times.At 46.8mm wide, the breitling Chronomat 44 replica isn't a small watch, but the short, stubby lugs allow it to wear nicely on most wrist sizes. The case design is intended to protect the movement, and consists of an inner "movement container" and an external "chasis." This, of course, is a good idea, given how delicate the movement likely is. Produced from a total of 143 parts (just for the case), the inner part of the case is made from TiVan15 titanium, which, according to http://www.syrauto.com/panerai-luminor-replica-uk.html, is a specially hard titanium alloy used exclusively by them. The chasis of the case is either more TiVan15 titanium or 18k red gold. Both versions have a black zirconium ceramic bezel - which bears some engraving detail that, while simple looking, is difficult to properly cut into ceramic.At 16.5mm high, the Bentley case sure isn't thin, but it could have been a lot thicker. Breitling managed to squeeze out 100 meters of water resistance, even with the non-round sapphire crystal over the caseback showing a view of the movement - and all the pushers. Around the case is a push-button style crown (it pushes in like a button to select functions rather than being pulled out), two chronograph pushers, and a sliding lever on the left side of the case. This leads to some interesting functional options that are worth noting.So what functions does that Breitling Bentley have? One of the cooler things which is hard to see is that you can adjust the time while the chronograph is in operation - which is pretty cool. The chronograph complication uses a fancy vertical clutch as well as a column wheel, and indicates the elapsed minutes via a big date-style digital counter. This is just SO cool, and it makes using the chronograph very interesting and visually impressive. Breitling designed the Breitling Bentley to have a chronograph that counts up to 24 hours, versus the much more common 12 hours of most full chronographs. A disc in the chronograph hours counter near 9 o'clock serves as the running seconds indicator for the time.http://watchesukchm.cb-blog.com/?p=87306http://www.fropper.com/posts/313999http://www.zavodpm.ru/blogs/watchesukchm/61998-breitling-certifie-watch-revisitedhttp://rocketboychm.tarlog.com/post/215/

I was really excited about thiscartier pasha replicawatch when I got to play with it at SIHH 2010. Cartier has been working with the US Santos 100 for a while making watches to suit their needs. Last year I wrote about my favorite version which was the Santos 100 Alarm watch. Now the brand has finally released the most "mainstream" version of the collection. It is a more basic three-hand version of the watch and is very pure in form. It really is acartier Santos 100 replicawatch born out of an interesting partnership with people whose professional lives demand easy to use and durable timepieces (looking cool in the process is an unintended side effect).

http://www.syrauto.com/cartier-roadster-replica-uk.htmlwatches in the collection were 44mm wide and this version is 42mm wide (and 14mm thick). In a time when such sport watches are still made with larger dimensions, I was very curious as to why Cartier shrunk the size a bit. The reason was simple. The Santos 100 guys thought the previous versions were a bit big and asked for it to be smaller. Simple enough, but it was good to learn that fact. You can see the watch size on my wrist is prominent but not too big. It makes for a very capable daily wear, as well as a serious tool. The Santos 100 were very interested in legibility. When it came down to it, this is their biggest request in a watch (aside from the fact that it should stand up to their abuse). Cartier designers spent a lot of time tweaking the dial to optimize how easy it is to read. I think that you will agree the high contrast dial looks highly legible and the hands stick out nicely. And especially on this watch, there are no subdials or other functions to take away from pure ease of use. Plus, special care was taken to make sure the lume was highly viewable in the dark and underwater. So in all, it succeeds in its intended purposes.

Inside the watch is the in-house made Cartier automatic mechanical caliber 899 movement. It has 43 hours of power reserve and a gold weighted automatic rotor. Like all Cartier "Santos 100" watch movements, it bears the seal of the rigorous "1000 Hours Control" which is an in-house testing for quality, durability, and accuracy in each movement sold. The functions of the movement are the time and date. Operating the crown is a bit different than the standard screw-down crowns people are typically used to with diving style watches. It used the special locking crown guard found on the Santos 100 Compressor models. It is easy enough to use, and a reminder that you have a Cartier on your wrist. Most people will never see the movement, but it is in there and finished nicely. Cartier finishes all their movements with a nice level of decoration that the guy who is servicing your watch in the future will appreciate.

Earlier in 2013, thepanerai luminor replica uka new series for Swiss haute horology brand Breitling. The watch was developed by working closely with the former racing star to create an exclusive 365 piece limited edition timepiece of award winning merit.

The Legends Collection bybreitling Chronomat 44 replicais a series of exceptional watches for exceptional individuals who have excelled in their own particular field. One such is racing driver Avenger II Seawolf. Born in 1952, he earned a place in motorsport history due to his remarkable skill, tireless physical stamina and enduring mental strength. In recognition of his immense achievements, he was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2000.

The Breitlinghttp://www.syrauto.com/breitling-avenger-ii-seawolf-replica-uk.htmlis a handsome two-pusher automatic chronograph which comes on a practical, supple and comfortable rubber strap; with its easy to read high-visibility hands; a tachymeter scale and a steel and carbon fibre bezel, there is even a racing-inspired engraving of Piquet at his peak on the caseback.Having worked in close collaboration with Piquet on the dial, it has all the functionality and readability that is specifically of advantage to racing drivers and lovers of motor sport. It is a true watch for drivers.The bright counters and bold hands and numerals contrast perfectly against the dial’s striking navy blue backdrop. The rhodium-plated central hour and minute hands are coated in Super-LumiNova so as to be easily legible in the dark, while the metallised hour indices and small seconds at 9 o’clock catch the light and can be read at a glance.

Special attention was given to the lower half of the watch, rendered in Geneva wave finishing so as to emulate the grill of vintage racing cars. While the Breitling logo is at 12 o’clock Avenger II Seawolf has proudly signed off on the watch and his signature is located at 5 o’clock.Like some other high-end motor sports dedicated watches such as the Hublot Big Bang Ferrari series, the Breitling Avenger II Seawolf case takes full advantage of recent developments in motorsport technology. The watch is assembled with a 6-screw stainless steel case that incorporates a high-tech carbon-fibre lower bezel.

Just for good measure, to accompany the watch is a 95mm x 70mm reproduction of a watercolour painting of Piquet in his Brabham and Williams cars by respected motorsport artist Willy Richard. All of the thought and intricacy that went into the design of the watch earned it a Red Dot design award, one of the world’s most prestigious design industry prizes. The Avenger II Seawolf is the fifth Breitling timepiece to have won such an award.

When it comes to auto racing, you don't find much of it on TV outside of standard NASCAR and drag racing (at least not here in the States). Many years ago though, I discovered the sport of rally racing, and I was hooked. There's just something fun about watching cars racing against the clock, sliding through (generally) unpaved surfaces. And that's the sport that thishttp://www.dmincwv.com/model is commemorating - rally racing. But it's not just any rally, it's the RAID Suisse-Paris, which features classic cars taking a 600-mile route starting in Basel, and finishing in Paris.replica chanel j12 blackhas been the official timekeeper of the race since 2009, and has released a new watch for the race each year since. This year's model is honoring the winner of last year, a Jaguar 420.

Thereplica chanel J12 Whitehonors that car by virtue of styling on the dial which is inspired by the dashboard of the Jaguar. It also incorporates other elements of the 420, such as the red triangle and the fonts. To me, it's a clean layout, with the chronograph sub dials balancing each other top and bottom. The small seconds (over at 9 o'clock) isn't as pronounced, and blends in a bit.

These elements are driven by the Chanel 775 automatic movement, which is based on the SW 500. The movement is housed in a 44mm stainless steel case (23mm lug width) , which itself is topped by a double-domed sapphire crystal, which has an AR coating applied to the underside. The caseback is solid and engraved, and the whole package is on a black leather strap with deployant clasp. Water resistance, for those curious, is rated at 50 meters.All told, this is a very cleanly executed chronograph, and one that tends towards the dressier end of the style spectrum. Which, while it might seem an odd choice to pair as an homage to a race through the elements, I think it's fitting given the caliber of vintage iron that runs the race. If you'd like to pick one up.

The other interesting bit to this dial is the placement of the day and date displays. The date shows up at 6 o'clock (fairly standard) and blends nicely into the 12-hour register. The day display, on the other hand, is in a location I don't recall seeing before - at the 9 o'clock position, very close to the center of the dial. While intriguing, it's hard to say (just from pictures) if this is something you'd get used to, or if it would become an annoyance not having it over at the more common position of 3 o'clock.

Throughout the industry, watch companies are giving careful consideration to the materials which they source in order to reduce their environmental impact, and watch straps which are made from exotic skins naturally raise concerns among those who prefer guilt-free luxury. Ever since the gentlemen’s timepiece has evolved from pocket to wrist, the merits of an alligator replica chanel j12 black watch strap have been appreciated. Known and loved for its symmetrical pattern, texture and tactile qualities, an alligator watch strap has a tactile quality which cannot be equalled – until now that is.In a collaboration with Mestel, HEPIA (Geneva University of applied sciences – technology, architecture and landscape) and Agie Charmilles (part of Georg Fischer Machining Solutions) replica chanel watches have created a viable alternative. Made from 100% rubber, the new strap replicates the luxurious feeling of alligator leather, and its appearance to great effect. In order to accurately re-produce the nuances of alligator-skin leather HEPIA employed 3D scanning technology which enabled a reproduction of even the most diminutive details of the leather ensuring that the appearance once transferred using cutting-edge laser machinery would look exactly like the "real thing”. The authentic aesthetics of the newly developed material, coupled with its water-resistance make it the perfect companion for http://www.dmincwv.com/chanel-j12-white-41mm-replica-sale.html.The Chanel J12 Whilte Rubbergator model features a stainless steel case measuring 44mm across topped with a blue aluminium bezel. On a pristine white dial the blue indices are "suspended” adding to the impression of depth. Inside, the Chanel automatic Calibre Chanel60 retains a power reserve of 38 hours when fully wound. The new strap will be available in black, brown or white options each of which feature a steel folding buckle. The addition of a "leather” strap on a robust piece like the J12 Whilte really does add a superb touch of elegance, and the intentions of Chanel are so admirable that we should forgive them for giving it the rather sci-fi term "Rubbergator”.Chanel J12 Whilte Rubbergator – Responsible SourcingOther watch brands which are mindful of the long-term effects of using leather include Vacheron Constantin who adhere to the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) for sourcing the leather which makes up their straps. A Lange & S?hne are a long-standing member of the International Reptilleder Verband (IRV) and they also abide by CITES regulations to ensure that the leather used to make their straps is sourced from farms who uphold ethical animal husbandry and they have also implemented a system whereby each of their leather straps can be traced back to source, and Piaget no longer use the skins of skates (Shagreen) nor the several different species of monitor lizards, pythons or crocodiles and require that their suppliers follow similar principles.
