RALF TECH WRX Manufacture Torpedo Watch Inspired By Submarine Interior
We don't talk about Ralf Tech watches that much, but if you are into a sort of modern Panerai-style dive watch, then you've probably heard about them. All of a sudden, Ralf Tech has released a totally weird creation that is not only totally out of character for them in terms of design, but also price. I don't know who the target demographic for this Ralf Tech WRX Manufacture Torpedo watch is, but the model-style dial based on a submarine torpedo bay door is pretty cool in a totally not functional way.If you are the type of person who likes small models and miniatures, then you'll appreciate the concept here. Tool watch guys looking for strictly functional items to tell them the time will not understand this type of piece at all. In its own way, this is the ultimate watch for certain types of nerds - and isn't that what boutique luxury watches are all about? Given the extremely limited set of watches Ralf Tech is going to make, I am sure they will find the fewer than a dozen required bu

Lug width of new edition POs?
Just curious, who can tell me the lug width for the 39.5mm and 43.5mm new edition Planet Oceans?I like the short middle end link concept and was curious if they would marry up to previous generation cases/bracelets.

If you have a PO (non-chrono) Big Size with a serial number between 817092XX and 817341XX. Please post here your s/n and if it has an anti-counterfeit stamp on the case cover.I am trying to get to the point in serial numbers where the PO (non-chrono) Big Size began having the stamp...thanks!817092XX stamp = NO817341XX stamp = YESThis may have no relevance for anything, as Omega may not systematically install the case backs in particular order with a given case (ie their case back stock may have backs with and without the stamp intermixed), but what the heck...we'll see what happens as replies come in.

RSC Hides Behind a Loophole
My wife's 9 month old DJ is losing 30 seconds a day. I took it to the NYC RSC and was delivered a complete shock. They told me the watch was damaged and couldn't be regulated. I would need to pay $400 for the service (discounted from $500+ because it is under warranty) plus another $130 for a new crown. This watch was NOT banged or dropped. My wife doesn't partake in activities or a lifestyle that would cause this. But RSC told me the evidence was there. One of the dots beneath the coronet on the crown was slightly flattened. Therefore, the crown was damaged and so was the timing mechanism. I can't tell you how upset I am. Has anyone had a similar experience with RSC? What did you do? Were you able to get Rolex to fix it without an astronomical cost.?Rolex touts themselves makers of these durable, tough-as-nails watches, yet this doesn't seem to be the case. It seems RSC was looking for a loophole and found one. Picture attached, although not the best quality. Plus, this flattened dot
