Concord C1 MecaTech Chronograph
The Concord C1 MecaTech chronograph presents a study in multi-level dial complexity. Every square millimeter offers a line, a texture, a non-traditional display, or a new elevation. The two-tone black PVD and rose gold case measuring 44mm x 16.7mm creates the impression of bank-vault security. A matte-black grid in the center of the dial provides the base for the arrow pointers that rest above the turning disks of the 30 minute and 12 hour counters. The COSC-certified ETA Valgranges chronograph movement is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback. The movement features a black rotor and C?tes de Gen��ve decoration. The 25 jewel movement beats at 28,800 vph with a power reserve of 48 hours. The case is water resistant to 200 metersplete technical specifications appear below the images, which may be enlarged with a click. Technical FeaturesMovementCosc certified mechanical automatic movement, Valgranges48-hour power reserve28’800 vibrations per hour25 JewelsFunctionsHours, m

AP ROO 44mm RG
My dear TRF friends and all watch enthusiasts, today I received a watch I never thought I will own one. I am not a big fan of gold watches but after trying RG ROO on my last visit to AP boutique, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I think its one of the best sport watches out there. When it was time to buy, It came down to Trulli, SS or RG and I picked RG one. Enjoy the picture I think my collection is getting to be too big but I love every piece I have and can't let go any of them..

Can you imagine how fun it would be to work at a Rolex factory?
If you were a machinist, you would be standing in front of a CNC mill hour after hour and day after day making the exact same thing... let's say Submariner cases. You would only be doing your portion of the process. Then the item would go to someone else for the next step.If you were making dials, you would be doing the same thing day after day. The dial making process and the dial painting process and the dial printing process are likely done by different people. Can you imagine the pressure of dial printing? How about the pressure put on the QC team? Tolerances are extremely tight and unforgiving. Precision is required. It is probably not wise to show up for work at a Rolex factory hung over from a night at the disco. That would probably be frowned upon.The same monotony goes for bracelet production, crown production, stem production, bezel production, and the production of watch movement components.Standing or sitting all day plating parts or polishing cases would not be th

Solution to Flipping
I've been badly wanting to get an Explorer back in the collection to go with my black Explorer 2 (42 mil) and white Milgauss, but kind of sick of flipping. The solution....a trip to Michigan for Christmas and a one year trade with my twin brother. He took my white Milgauss in temporary trade for his Explorer. He's thrilled because his only Rolex ever was the Explorer. He loves it, but was excited to try another. Then I get an Explorer without losing any money! Bonus....both watches are perfectly sized.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
