Red & Black German Racing Watch: Best Hued Temption Formula Rally Chronograph Available
I admit to loving this watch. It just exudes cool to me, but in a really understated way. This to me is a non-flamboyant, flamboyant watch. I've mentioned Temption Formula (and Classic) Rally watches before, but in my opinion this version is the nicest. Other models have yellow or blue trim coloring as opposed to the red in this watch. To me, the red contrasts the best with the black PVD case and dial, not to mention being the most powerful looking.Temption is a powerhouse little German watch maker that churns out a scant 700 watches a year on average.

Rolex Daytona - Correct Winder Direction for 4130 Movement
I realize that my Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116523 with in-house 4130 movement has an exceptional power reserve at 72 hours, and no date function; however, I still like to keep it on a watch winder when not being worn. The issue is this: I want to be certain that I am setting the wind-cycle to the correct direction (i.e. CCW, CW or bi-directional) for this particular movement. The Orbita Winder database indicates the required winding direction for the 4130 movement, as CW. Posts on various watch forums indicate that for the 4130 movement, winders can be set bi-directionally. In fact, some forum posts indicate that the Orbita database is plainly wrong in stating the required setting for the 4130 as CW. The conflicting information is confusing, and I suspect that it does indeed matter what direction is selected for the winding cycle for a particular movement. I would normally communicate on the subject directly with the movement source i.e. Rolex; however, there is no contact feature at R
