Urwerk Encourages Obsessive Accuracy Tinkering With EMC Watch Movement
Pretty soon, high-end Geneva-based watch maker Urwerk, will release a watch that includes their new EMC mechanical movement - a mechanism that will no doubt appear ironic and perhaps insane to those not acquainted with the passions that drive the mechanical watch industry. In short, the EMC blurs the lines between mechanical and quartz timing regulation in an amusingly obsessive way that points to the sheer limits of how much your average watch aficionado is willing to endure. Urwerk calls the EMC the first "mechanical smart watch movement," so let's find out what it is all about.A little background info first so that you'll understand all of this. Mechanical watches are "regulated" to be as accurate as possible. Depending on the movement, there are a few variables that involve playing with the hairspring in order to make the watch have the best "rate results." The hard part is regulating the watch so that it is satisfactorily accurate not just sitting down on a table, but sitting upsi

Panerai Left vs Right : 557 vs 372 !
Hello all,Here's a packshot review about 2 watches that are almost identical but symmetrical twins : * Panerai PAM00372 serial N1xxx/3500 with Ted Su ammo strap* Panerai PAM00557 serial Q0xxx/700 with Attirail ammo strapWhat is similar :- same P3000 manual winding caliber- same 3-6-9-12 sandwich dial- same plexi glass with additionnal spare glass- Same golden hands - Same crown.What differs : - Case is different, not just flipped back, with specific engravings>> PAM 372 >> OP 6835 at 6 o'clock >> PAM00372 at 12 o'clock>> PAM 557 >> OP 69876 at 6 o'clock >> PAM00557 at 12 o'clock- The winding crown protector is not the same, it is in fact totally symmetrical, and not just set up reversed.

after service, crown doesn't screw down flush
i just got my watch back from RSC and i see that the crown is no longer flush when screwed down. it was flush before.they did replace the crown and tube, along w/ doing a full factory service. i unscrewed the crown to set the time and screwed it back down, it did indeed stop short of flush.i'm asking if this is within tolerance or if i should have them fix it.sorry for the crappy photo, but i think it gets the point across.

Rolex hits a home run
Minimal changes. That which is new looks to sinificant past designs and models. Why break what has worked for the last near 70 years of sports oyster models?By offering tribute, they reinforce the past and catalyze interest in the already popular vintage models. Play tribute for a year or two..... reinvent from the past. Gain exclusivity.... we will keep buying, complaining about supply, and ultimately driving up costs....Genius. My hats off. Keep up the great work.
