Review: Tsovet SVT-FW44
?I?have been wearing the?Tsovet SVT-FW44 for about three months, and there’s a lot I like about this watch. ?Its simple, clean design, bright blue hands, and?distinct?case help it stand out while maintaining classic styling. ?Lets first dig into the features of the watch and a bit about the company that makes it.Case: 316l Matte Stainless SteelMovement: Ronda 513 Swiss Quartz MovementSub/Dial/S: Silver Bdl/W Black MarkersLens: Hardened Mineral CrystalCase Back: 316l Matte Stainless SteelStrap: Italian Calf LeatherBuckle: 316l Matte Stainless SteelWater Res. : 10atm (100m/300f)Dimensions: 44mm x 12.65mmWarranty: 2 YearsThe SVT-FW44’s design is inspired by the WW1 infantryman’s field watch. ?It features a simple face, with no hour markers, but instead displays minute markers where the hour markers typically appear. ?The hands are a metallic royal blue?with?luminescent?filling, and?are offset against the clean white of the face. ?

Royal Oak case back numbers
I just received yesterday Royal Oak (15400) with a black dial, purchased from an Audemars Piguet AD. On the case back there is only one number, the case number, starting with letter J. I thought that Royal Oaks have another number (watch number) engraved on the case back. The warranty certificate also has only case number and a movement number. Both numbers correspond to the numbers on the watch. Does anyone know if they sometimes don't put the second number (No xxxx) or if they stopped doing it with the latest J series. Thank you.

Is it safe to hack the P5000 movement?
I have a brand new PAM610 and PAM563. Essentially the same movement with a seconds hand showing on the 563. On the 610 it is irrelevant, but on the 563 I was wondering if it was safe to hack the second hand to sync it with a known time (as you would a Speedmaster with gentle reverse traction of the crown). I haven’t played with it yet, but wanted to see what the consensus was. It is also my understanding that these movements are not COSC certified. My 610 certainly gains time over the 8 day reserve. I haven’t checked the 563 yet. I don’t expect Rolex accuracy as they are hand wound. Just curious to hear others’ experience.
