The Black Belt Watch, Only For People With Black Belts
This watch comes with a great back story. A tale of a man they called crazy. A tale of a man, who probably is crazy, but we can all love him for that. It all started with Romain Jerome and their previous 'lord & ruler,' Yvan Arpa. The watch community generally has the perception that Yvan Arpa is a bit of aneccentric. One who creates ideas that are pretty wild. Half the time the ideas work, the other times, they most surely don't. One example of a failed idea was an all rusted watch (on the outside) enclosed in a hermetically sealed glass case. The idea was that once the glass was broken, the watch inside was guaranteed to work. To make a long story short, once some wild and wealthy people bought and subsequently broke the glass, the watch did not work at all - having been totally rusted through.Other ideas do work, such as Yvan's Titanic DNA watch for Romain Jerome. The watches worked so well, that they not only saved the dying Romain Jerome brand a few years ago, but catapulted i

You can tell that it's overbuilt, beautifully machined and lacking in fussy nonsense. Sinn watches are unlike other watches out there, as is the brand. They do things their own way, focusing on technology and engineering that few brands could even dream of while managing to pull off clean, tasteful aesthetics and prices that are within reach. They're the enthusiasts’ tool watch, with models so diverse it's easy to own, or desire several. This is why, as you might have noticed, the team here at w&w are slightly obsessed with them, many of us owning a few.At Basel World 2014 Sinn released a watch that really caught my attention: the EZM 13. Part of their "Einsatzzeitmesser" or Mission Timer series, the EZM 13 took their EZM 3, a watch I am particularly fond of, and added in a chronograph. The resulting watch is a tool watch dream, with 500m WR, a

First Rolex - Date model champaign dial with white font - is that unusual?
Hello!I'm new to all of this. I got what I believe to be a reasonable deal on my first Rolex. It's a Date model from the early 80's. As I've looked around at pictures of other similar models after I've purchased it from a reputable jeweler, I've noticed I haven't seen any other champaign color dials with white print. Sorry about the photo quality. Should I be concerned?Thanks!
