New RGM North Pointer Professional GMT 254 Watch
RGM makes watches in Lancaster County,? Pennsylvania, which is a hub of American watch making. In fact, the majority of hands-on watch making that occurs in America today is in, or near Pennsylvania. A fact that strikes me as curious given the remote nature of some of these towns, but makes sense if you compare it to fine German and Swiss watch making towns. You'd be surprised to know that most of the independent watch makers in Germany and Switzerland are based in old farmhouses or alike building in tiny rural areas. take the famous Glashutte region, which is basically a one street village. I don't know why this is, but it must mean that watch makers don't like to be bothered. Thus, you'll find a lot of homegrown American watch making in what is essentially Amish country. Go Figure.RGM is a special watch company in America because they produce one of the first American made watch movements to have been developed in a long time. This movement is not in all of their watches, as they mos

So my friend...
So I was at a housewarming yesterday and one of my good friends asked to try on my panda. Of course I let him, but what happened next shocked me and everyone around us. We were chatting with a bunch of friends and I hear a thud, I look over and saw my ap on the ground... Everyone became silent and my heart stopped for a few seconds while I was trying to take in what happened. My buddy's face was in shock. We picked it up and noticed the second hand had stopped moving, also the Chrono wasn't working as well. He immediately told me he'll pay for the servicing which I appreciated, but here's the kicker: it started working again 10 minutes later, chrono and all! Should I still send it in or just leave it be?

The right size
I'm doing a little debating between the 15300 and 15400, like I'm sure many have before me. I do not live in an area that has an AP dealer nearby so I'm flying a bit blind.There are several threads that already cover people's preference so I'm not looking to reboot that, but does anyone have advice for me with my inability to actually try one on?I guess I could always wait until I travel to a city with an AD but I even then I'm not guaranteed to run across either one of those models. Has anyone ever purchased one blindly and then flipped to the other because of size preference?

What is a good price for BNIB 5205R-010 from an AD?
As stated above, the best I have been able to find so far is $38,500, I think the list price is $49,000.Also, anyone know if it comes with a deployment clasp and if not, how much does it cost in RG?Thank you.
