The Lew & Huey Riccardo Needs a Kickstart
We're always glad to see people trying to make new and affordable mechanical watches, and we're happy to help spread the word when they are using Kickstarter or other crowd-sourcing platforms to fund their project. This most recent project that was brought to my attention is of particular note, because the watch isn't just a mechanical, it's an automatic chronograph, which is especially difficult to make affordably. The problem, naturally, is a lack of movement options.This is the challenge that Lew & Huey watches set before themselves when trying to make their first watch, the Riccardo. Their solution, of course, is to use a Seagull ST1940 caliber automatic chronograph. Much like the ST1901, which you can find in the Seagull 1963 or the Techn�� Sparrowhawk, the ST1940 is a column-wheel chrono movement with blued screws and various other decoration, as well as 33 jewels. The ST1901 is a very cool movement and adding automatic winding to it just makes more practical, albeit at the ex
The Dynamic Omega
Unique... funky... and innovative; a classic or a footnote?After searching this forum for the better part of my lunch hour, I’m certain of at least one thing: hardly anybody talks about the Dynamic. In the 1970s it reigned as one of Omega's best-selling time pieces; an Omega flagship that captured the spirit of that decadent cocaine-using, disco-dancing, lapel-wearing decade. I can only imagine the ridicule one must have endured by wearing one of those conformist establishment watches (picture Rolex explorer) while dancing at Studio 54. You either wore a forward-looking watch like the Dynamic or you were a narc. But 40 years later, the Dynamic seems to be all but forgotten; tragic casualties of fashion like its much maligned bell-bottomed brethren. It's taken a back seat in the Omega mini-van, if not being kicked out of it altogether, for the likes of its historic sibling Moon Watch, the (now 007-endorsed) Seamaster, and the ever-elegant Constellation. Begging the question: Wh

Rolex-Marketing genius?
It is a while since I browsed the forum.I return and find the whirlwind once again around steel sports models.When I bought my first Rolex a 5513 (wish I still had it now) around twenty years ago,a Steel sub date had an 18 month waiting list and a steel Daytona 7 years!!Things did change over the years,You did see steel ceramic sub dates in dealer windows now and again and the steel Daytona list got down to a month at a dealer I use.We are now fortunately well out of a double dip recession and Rolex is again doing what I believe it does best,engineering it's own hype.It is my belief that Rolex is limiting supply on the steel sports models to create the position it was in twenty years ago.The general publics perception that what they are buying is illusive and they have to be on a waiting list only increases the value of the piece in their eyes.Low and behold the release of the new Daytona(fortunately for me,a watch I don't lust after).It would surprise me if the ceramic model hasn't be
