Sneak Peak At Upcoming LUM-TEC 1000m PVD Diver Watch
Many say that it cannot be done - a 1000 meter water resistant diver's watch with an internal rotating bezel. Why? Well, it has to do with the crown that rotates the internal bezel. Unlike the crown for setting the time than can be tightly screwed into ensure high water resistance, the crown for adjusting the internal bezel needs to be functional, even deep under water. Part of this dilemma is purely academic, because people can't even dive that deep and live. So you could theoretically have a crown for the internal bezel that does ensure water resistance to say 300 meters, and then would need to be screwed down beyond that. LUM-TEC isn't interested in such trivialities. It wants to make a 1000m diver watch with an internal rotating bezel. I can't wait to see how they attack the challenge.Maybe LUM-TEC will use a sophisticated technique like the one that Breitling used for pushers. Read here to see how Breitling used magnets create 'no contact' pushers for its Avenger Seawolf Chronogra

The Stripper and the Patek
The Stripper and the Patek Mar 22, 2005 - 12:50 PM (This is a reposting of an article on another watch forum).PLEASE NOTE - I am a Patek owner and my wallet has on average about $15 (if I am lucky) in it! Last week I was entertaining some Japanese business guys and they wanted to see a strip club. So we go to a strip club in sleepy little Nashville but I forgot that I had my 5970 on my wrist. We find a spot and settle in, sip a drink and a beautiful girl sits down. After a few minutes of small talk she says That's a Patek isn't it?. Feeling stupid and more than a little worried I say Nope, just a cheap copy. Looking at my wrist in almost total darkness from 3 feet away she says Yeah, it's too big to be that calendar stop watch they make... what's that one called again?. I'm thinking 'how the hell does this chick know about a 3970?'. Why the interest in watches baby?, says an uncomfortable HRC. I can sort men by their watches and shoes says the expert. Rolex guys are all flash, avera

Rolex Service for 75190 ?
Assuming this watch is too old for Rolex to service- It's a Tudor 75190 made in 1992-93. Does anyone know for sure? I don't care if they replace some parts like bezel and crystal because they are badly needed anyway.
