The Value Proposition: The Weiss Standard Issue Field Watch, A Fine Step Toward Truly American Watchmaking
The Weiss Watch Company has an ambitious goal: to design, manufacture, and assemble a mechanical watch not just within U.S. borders, but within the tighter parameters of Los Angeles County. Can an area known more for media moguls and perpetually flawless weather support a mechanical wristwatch supply chain? The answer is yes (with the exception of movement production – for now). The Weiss Standard Issue Field Watch is the first offering from this young start-up, and while it isn’t a full-on grand slam, there are a number of characteristics that make this a compelling option for anyone looking for a solid, casual-wear watch under $1,000. 2 OF 10 The company’s namesake founder Cameron Weiss knows a good bit about watchmaking. After becoming a WOSTEP Certified Watchmaker, he trained at both Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin, unarguably two of the most respected watch manufactures in the world.

Royal oak pricing?
Hello all,I'm sure we are all aware about PP Nautilus prices increasing significantly (both primary and secondary markets). This seems to have gotten more people interested in the Royal Oaks and Royal Oak Chronos. While the 15202 was always popular, the 41mm models are becoming more popular and harder to get than before as well. Do you guys think we are also going to see an increase in the MSRP for RO/ROC? With the 5 year roadmap to close all ADs + in-house movement for ROC at some point, do we see it pushing north of $30k to acquire in a couple years?Let the speculation commence!

Resetting date etc. on a grand complication
Having recently become the proud owner of a grand complication (5140G), I left it behind on a recent 7 day multi-stop trip, as I did not want it to be bashed around at multiple airport security checkpoints and also constantly to be worrying about its general welfare. I am sure that this excess of caution will pass with time and use ...As the run up to my departure proved more chaotic than I had hoped, I did not have time to figure out how to put the watch on its automatic winder for the first time. Hence the question: Does it make any difference if I just wind the watch forward a week, rather than re-setting it with the setting tool (with attendant risk of scratching whilst I am inexperienced in its use) ?As a matter of good practice, does it make any difference which way one advances the watch, if it were to be done on a regular basis ?
