Exclusive Hands-On Look At The Swatch Sistem51, A Revolutionary Mechanical Watch (Exclusive Live Pic
One of the most exciting releases at Basel World 2013 came from Swatch, which isn't exactly the most talked about brand here at HODINKEE. The Sistem51 is the world's first mechanical movement with entirely automated assembly. It has only 51 components, all of which are anchored to a central screw, a 90 hour power reserve, and, oh yeah, it's 100% Swiss made. While there was one Sistem51 prominently displayed in a glass case at the center of Swatch's Basel exhibition, here we have an exclusive hands-on look at this revolutionary watch.?? Seriously guys, this could be a game-changer. 2 OF 25 Sistem51 Dial Detail Back in 1983, Swatch launched with the mission of making Swiss watches mass produce-able and available to everyone in the wake of the quartz crisis. By reducing the number of components in a quartz movement from the typical 91 to a much more?manageable?51, Swatch was able to fully automate production. This, combined with the brand's commitment to popular culture

15400 vs Day-Date [Picture]
My 15400 is a gigant compared to my Day-Date Is bigger better? I love both. And for people who say the Royal Oak in steel is a scratch magnet, try wearing gold daily...

AP Carbon Diver - even better than I hoped!
Just purchased one from Takuya on this forum. Watch came in perfect condition as stated. It is truly beautiful. I had never seen one in person. Friend has the 44 carbon and I've seen a bumble bee so I had an idea but I think this is my favorite. I was debating between the ceramic and carbon but I'm very active and wanted something light as possible. Love the all ceramic in the pic but also love the contrast of the ceramic bezel on the forged carbon. It's stunning! Had a 44mm ROO stainless, sold it. As you can see I missed not having a ROO so here it is ;).rolexforums/showthrea...62#post5809962

My Milgauss broke, would it in covered under warranty?
Hello TRFers,Today when I got my Milgauss 116400GV out of the watch box, pull the crown out to wind the watch, I notice that there was a problem. The watch was not winding, it did not go to the first position when the watch is unscrewed instead it goes straight to the second position of hacking. I have 2 questions for you guys.1) Will this be covered under the Rolex warranty?2) How do you send a watch to Rolex? Can you do so by going to a AD?Any help would be appreciated
