C3H5N3O9 Experiment Watches By MB&F & Urwerk
While it isn't always the case that competing watch brands are friendly with one another, it most certainly is the case with high-end independent brands MB&F and Urwerk. The two brands share a deep respect for one another, as well as friendship, despite the fact that their products are thematically similar, priced in the same ballpark, and are aimed at more or less the same type of consumer. Still, the close relationship between the two is a testament to the deeper meaning of "Swiss Made:" which is actually a sharing of resources, talents, and ideas between people in Switzerland to promote "Swiss Made" as a whole. Enter the explosive new marque C3H5N3o9, otherwise known as the chemical make up of nitroglycerin.Sitting with Max Busser of MB&F a few weeks ago here in Los Angeles, he shared with me a few scant details about a new experimental project he (and the technical mind behind MB&F Serge Kirknoff) was working on with Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei of Urwerk.

Sd43 vs sub expert opinions needed post Basel
I was really hoping for a new sub with new movement at Basel. But realistically even if they introduce it next year they will likely phase it in or start with pm. Now considering sd43. A few questions for the experts on this forum:1. Is the dial matte or high gloss like the sub?2. Is the bracelet wider so same as the new dssd introduced this year?3. Is the dial the same size as the sub so the added 3mm is in the case not the dial?4. Does it wear more like the sub or dssd? I had a dssd and the thickness began to get to me as just being too big. 5. Any other pros cons you would like to point out?Thanks

Caseback Engraving
Just wondering if anyone out there knows how much does engraving on the caseback can decrease the value of a rolex during resale? I was told by a rolex resaler that if they can buff it out it may decrease value by $100. Of course when I asked about what if they can't buff it out they can't give me a straight answer. Anyone have a ballpark idea? Can they just change the caseback? Thanks in advance!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
