New Steampunk Watch Direction: Asymmetry, Big Gears: New Items From Olga Clock Works
It's been a while since I covered new work from one of my favorite watch and clock artists; Olga Narozhna (click to visit her site). I wrote an at length article about her here. Among her many fine efforts, she offers really interesting steampunk watch creations, that if you are lucky, she sells on eBay. For the initiated, steampunk is a design style that melds industrial revolution era technology aesthetic, Victorian era design cues, and a hefty dose of Jules Verne science fiction wonder.Two new wearable pieces of functional art on available from Olga, and really show a new level of refinement in her style. I can attest that the craftsmanship of her work is very good. She makes very solid and well put together pieces. These are no flimsy show pieces, but completely functional and rugged.Olga is a collector and scours the world for bits and pieces to add on her art. From sifting through yard sales, purchasing bulk parts online, to dissembling aging machines, she finds little treasures

Back from APSC New-York
Hi everyoneJust wanted to share my experience with APSC New-York. 15300 was sent in for the B1 test and additional 1 year warranty. Lucky to find a letter explaining that they replaced the crystal as it didn't met their inspection. I noticed before sending it some micro chips on the side between 6 an 7 position but was only visible through a loupe. It was on the angle of the crystal and far from something to be worried about. Now After loupe inspection, it is 100% perfect Happy to report it was back in 5 weeks. More than I expected to say the least.Came back all wrapped with plastics on the case as if it was new. All in all, a perfect experience.Cheers.

New Rolex Owner - Watch Winder Question
I just got my first two Rolex in the last 5 months. I am about to pick up the SD43. My wife bought me a nice 4 watch winder that can be set anywhere from 650-1450 with a clockwise, counter clockwise, or combo rotation...What should I know about storing my Rolexes in a watch winder? I would say I will be rotating which one I wear every 3-5 days...Can I leave them on 650 combo rotation without worrying about damaging the movement?
