Technical Perspective: Ferrari Formula 1 Engineer Disassembles A Heuer Caliber 15 Automatic Chronogr
Automatic chronographs are wonderfully complicated movements, and the race to produce the first ended with the announcement of the Chronomatic in 1969. This movement was used by Hamilton, Heuer and Breitling (to name just a few) all the way into the 1980s. Recently we were pointed to a fascinating article on OnTheDash detailing the disassembly of a Chronomatic Caliber 15, complete with scans of the official service manual. Even more interesting is who wrote this article: Gianluca – an Italian Formula One engineer for Ferrari. Check out the article on OnTheDash. 1 OF 1 Heuer Monza chronograph, powered by the Chronomatic Caliber 15 movement. ADVERTISEMENT

Although I did not start the earlier thread--- There were a lot of requests for a new poll... which one do you prefer--- 5980 vs 5990? If you already own or are currently considering.. or if you had to pick which one? Has your mind changed over time? 5990 on the left and 5980 on the rightMe: Like both but own and still would select the 5990.

rookie needs guidance
Hello --This watch belonged to my great uncle and was recently given to me after the passing of my grandmother. I think it may be an old Calatrava, but I honestly have no idea. The hands are not moving and I'm scared to death to try and wind it out of fear that I'll do damage. I would like to get it fixed up and working but don't really know where to start. Any suggestions on:1. What it is?2. What it's worth?3. How to go about getting it working?Thanks so much!
Correct way to pull the rolex crown?
Hi everyone. Was wondering if there is a correct way to pull the crown to adjust the date/time. I have a new dj 116234 and maybe am too delicate/scared to pull the crown. I can't seem to pull it in the second position (date position) very easily. I get it in the 3/4 th attempt. So I am doing something wrong? Am I supposed to use force or should it be easy? Is the crown a bit stiff since its a new watch?I use my thumb and index finger against the case to pull. Is this correct?Please help me to do it the correct way.Thanks
