Murphy (RGM): I am the man and watchmaker behind RGM Watch.ABTW: What was your first grail watch?RGM: It was a Patek 3970 back in the 1980s. I did get one used that needed work, I repaired it and sold it back in the early 90's.ABTW: Was there ever a time in your life when you could afford it?RGM: Yea, in the early 1990s.ABTW: What did you like so much about the watch?RGM: The complications and the classic look.ABTW: Did you ever get it?RGM: For a while, and then sold it.Editor's Note: Roland also referenced their older RGM 103R model, which he believes took the 3970 design and made it even grander.[Update: July 8, 2014 - While we value the quality of their product, in light of recent events, watches-dealer

DSOTM strap question
Has anyone ever tried to put the black strap from a DSOTM onto a standard speedmaster pro? I know that strap is 21mm and the standard moon watch has 20mm lugs, but was wondering if anyone ever tried it (when I had a FOIS I was able to use 20mm straps despite it having a 19mm lug width, but the DSOTM strap might be too thick to compress?)Anyway, any help would be appreciated

I bought this !!

I will never buy another watch without the bracelet slip n slide.
Super glide easy link lock stretch-orama.The few that I own without it, i've learned to manage. And was fine for years without it. But once you've gone down the super slide MSG-sodium adjuster road, theres no turning back....Maybe its a Florida thing, but the whole quick micro adjust, to me, is the greatest achievement in watches since the invention of the date wheel.Anyone else agree in principle without so many made up adjectives?

X-mas call...
Hi,I just have to tell it everyone that i just got a call from my AD that.....I can pick up my 116500LN I am so happy.....I am sorry but i��m running out of words.
