HourTime Show Podcast Episode 4 - Tourbillons, Dos/Don��ts, Holiday Shopping + a Contest!
Episode 4 of the quickly growing HourTime watch chat podcast show is up. This time we talk about why all the fuss with tourbillon watches, dos and don'ts with watch wearing, and the beginning of our holiday watch buying tips.We start out with learning about what tourbillons are, what they do, why they exist, then why they were "forgotten" for years and years and their sudden comeback.

5711 problem
ok here's my story: i have a 5711 that was working fine until about 20 months after buying it i noticed it would lose a few minutes every day.so i brought it in and they did a full service. it worked fine for a few weeks and then it started stopping. even after fully winding, it would stop after a few hours.brought it in again and they did some 'repairs' of which i'm not sure what.now i find it will run for maybe 1 and half days after winding it fully and it will continue running if i wear it. however, once i put it in my winder it will just run as if i wound it fully and did not wear it. it does not seem sensitive to the winder's motion at all. i don't think it's an issue with the winder as all my other watches are fine and this watch was running fine for 18 months inside the winder too. can anyone help me trouble shoot?

Milestone: today 21 years ago....
21 years ago today, I got my first Rolex: a 1500 as a gift from my parents for my 21st birthday. As I turned 42 today, I just realized that a Rolex has now officially accompanied me half my life Every Rolex tells a story so here we go: my Rolex journey so far……The 1500 Date from 1971 which I got in 1997 is my first and still my favorite. Black matte dial, stainless steel, oyster bracelet and with 34mm well proportioned. In 2006 I got married and treated myself to a brand new Sub:After a looooong search, 2007 brought me my birth year 1601 of 1976 (with papers)In 2016 I turned 40 and it was time for some gold: again 1976 and with papers :A lot has happened in 21 years: started a wonderful family, enjoyed many nice holidays (Disneyworld rules!) and on every occasion a Rolex accompanied me on my wrist. Needless to say this makes me a very happy and fortunate person :-)Just wanted to share this milestone with you all!

Struggle for SS Rolex Sport is Real
Wempe and Rolex boutique in midtown Manhattan have zilch as of today. Compared to last year this time, it's amazing. Plenty of PM sports, DD and DJ galore tho.... tells you something about either demand or limiting supply to squeeze secondary.
