2LMX Watch
Just announced is the new watch brand 2LMX with their first watchthe 2LMX. I think a model name will come later. The super cool mechanical timepiece is one of those things that helps me explain to people what I do when they ask "how is it that you write at least once a day on watches?" Because cool stuff like this keeps coming out. The watch is the brainchild of Arnaud Tellier. He is the former head of the Geneva Patek Philippe museum.Interesting that he and his pals went futuristic after he resided over classic and vintage pieces for so long. The 2LMX watch reminds me of the Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical watch (a lot). These watches share concepts including the overall design. They both have vertically mounted tourbillons, they both have split dials, and they both have highly exposed cases and movements. More than a little bit of credit goes to Jean-Francois Ruchonnet for this design.The 2LMX movement uses four drums (two of them have drums within the drums) to indicate time digi

AP Quality
So I just got an itch and ended up buying 3 watches all at once -- JLC 976, Polar Explorer II 42mm and AP 15400 white dial. Love the AP so much that I started focusing on the ROO as well even though initially they did not do much for me. Anyway, love the AP but the problem is that the quickset date never worked right out of the box (bought from AD). The other watches have been running perfect with no issues, with JLC being the most accurate by far.So the question is how has everyone else's experiences been -- was I just unlucky? How does a watch leave the factory without someone checking to see if all the functions work properly? Just disappointed as I now have to send my watch back and wait and wait for a watch I really wanted to start putting through the paces.Thoughts from the experts?

Has anyone seen the ladies (sic) Speedmaster . . .

Searching informations for a my project I found a complete article on Mercedes hour hand: Bobswatches blog: FEBRUARY 22, 2017 BY PAUL ALTIERIand Quora website: Why-do-Rolexes-have-the-Mercedes-symbol-on-themthat showes the back of the hand and a video on putting the tritium.(I can't add links for rules of this forum)and in other web sites I couldn't find more than this.At the end of the first writing PAUL ALTIERI says:....Rolex has not released any official information in regards to the shape of the hour hand and its history of origin, various theories will continue.... Is it true? I hope to find here more information on this legendthank you in advance for sharing your knowledge Andrea
