Romain Jerome Titanic DNA Tourbillon Steampunk Ala Grande Limited Edition Watch
The newest Titanic DNA watch from Romain Jerome expressly indicates what it is, "Steampunk." Instead of just hinting at the idea and playing with the concept, this watch has "Steampunk" in the name, and fashions the watch as such. Granted, a lot of the steampunk appointments of the watch are for show only, it still looks pretty cool. The watch starts with an RJ 2 automatic tourbillon movement that has a very cool anchor shaped rotor. The movement is made by Concepto for Romain Jerome and is a new level of luxury being a tourbillon movement that is self-winding.The Tourbillon Steampunk Ala Grande is 50mm wide with a case that is made of steel (rusted, satin finished, and polished), titanium, and rubber. The case makes rich use of rivets, 80 of them that are hand applied all over the bezel (meant to look like old-timey boiler room equipment), as well as the iconic six sided screws in the case that are attached to the polished steel "claws." In addition to steel, the claws are available i

15300 Blue dial, no papers
Hi all,I am looking to sell or part ex a stainless AP Royal Oak 15300 blue dial, with the slight catch of having no papers.

The 57261/A with strap(+) Lower Cost compare to 5712R(+) Versatile, better for daily(+) Additional Strap (+) Love the AC complication, it's actually useful to me(+) Looks (-) SS only (-) Thicker case profile (-) Same complication as my existing PP 520andThe 5712R (+) It's Gold! (+) Slim case profile(+) Relatively less expensive compared to other Gold Nautilus(-) Asymmetric dial and hard to read dial design(-) No useful complication

Submersible tolerances
Does anyone know at what depth Rolex tests their movements to say that at 1000 feet or 4000 feet, the watch can reliably timekeep?I can’t imagine that at 4050 feet, a Sea Dweller stops functioning or at 1020 feet a Sub ceases to work. There has to be some percentage cushion built in. Also, does anyone know if Rolex actually submerges the movement or do they, using some equipment and technology, replicate the pressure and conditions experienced at that ocean depth ...These are more geek questions than anything and because someone I know recently asked “how can you be for sure that the watch will function nearly a mile undersea?”Thanks.
