Weird Watch Art By Dominic Wilcox
From time-to-time we come across art inspired by, or placed directly inside of, a watch or clock. An watches-dealer reader was nice enough to share with us the work of UK-born and -based Dominic Wilcox, who, among other things, has made wrist and pocket watch dials a palette for artistic expression.Wilcox calls these creations "Watch Sculptures" and they start with vintage wrist and pocket watches that he has acquired. The first step is removing the crystal and replacing them with a tall dome to make room for the small sculptures and figurines that he creates. Wilcox claims to be inspired by both real and imagined situations, and uses the motion of the watch hands as part of the art. The figurines are literally placed on the watch hands.Speaking strictly from a technical standpoint we would not recommend that anyone do this with a watch they wanted to keep good time. While the hands may move with the additional weight, there is no chance that the extra pressure on the movement would al

the new Graham watch comes packaged in a 47mm case
A typical high-powered racing instrument, the new Graham watch comes packaged in a 47mm case. It is rendered in black PVD-treated steel. The case is encircled by a steel bezel with a "Clous de Paris" pattern and a tachymeter scale.The case reveals black PVD-treated steel right hand control pushers with "Clous de Paris" high grip decoration. The front side of the model is shielded by a domed sapphire crystal with internal and external glare-proofed coating. The timepiece also features a smoked see-through sapphire crystal case-back engraved with a limited edition serial number. The case is built to be 100-meter water-resistant.

Is it possible to put a SMP on a PO rubber?
Is it? That would be great if it did.

The illness continues.... Which Patek??
Greetings guys,,Well firstly I have to say few years ago I thought I would never stray to this side of the fence into Patek territory thinking I would be happy with my collection of gorgeous Rolex's (WG SkyD, WG Sub, Vintage 16750 GMT(1980) and RED Sub (1969)) and Omega Speedy Pro and Seamaster... For months now ive started to look deeper and deeper into Patek's to the point now I am stepping up my search for my 1st Patek piece..Price decrease or increase has nothing to do with it just that I feel its time to step into the World of Patek.Now what I want and what I can afford without the wife asking for a divorce is another story..Here are a few pics of the Patek's I am looking at in my realistic price range. What id like to hear from you the experts is which one would you go and why?? I know at the end of the day its my decision on what sings to me but want to hear from the experienced collectors here.. Also any other Patek in that price range you feel might be good as my 1st Patek..Th

Losing 5 seconds a day
Hello there. I recently joined the Rolex club. A few months back I purchased a DJ41 from David SW for my 40th. I love the watch and was very pleased with the purchasing process.3 months later, and I'm noticing that my watch is losing 5 seconds a day. It's not a big deal by any means, but I know that Rolex is certified to +2/-2 seconds.The watch is under warranty, and the card has my name on it. I was wondering if you think it's worth bringing to the RSC? Again, I don't feel like the time loss is a big deal, but the watch was a major purchase, and I want it to perform at its best.Just wondering what the RolexForum community thinks. Thanks!
