quirky AP movement
I own a lot of relatively less expensive watch brands... IWC, Panerai, Omega. I find that on my other watches when setting time, wherever I put the minute hand it stays there relative to the seconds hand once the crown is pushed in. However on my 44 RG Royal oak offshore (my first AP)... I have to set the minute hand about half a minute past the mark where I want it to end up (the manual even says to do this!)... seems crazy that for $45k watch there is so much play in the movement. I'm seriously looking at the 41 mm Royal Oak Chronograph also in RG as my next watch... do the other AP's also have this quirky movement?
INCOMING !!! - I hate you all !
Just got a 15400 and I liked it, it was nice, it was handsome, it was comfortable. It was a nice companion to its 44mm steel novelty cousin that was already a part of the small stable. But I really wanted something more 'daily' wear oriented, something that I can wear without too much concern for scratches and scuffs.I tried to ignore the numerous photos and advice that certain members around here were dispensing........and then I tried IT on.......and it SPOKE to me, and the deed was done. Out with the 15400 and in with .......well lets keep this a surprise until it arrives. But feel free to guess
Speedmaster 321, 861, 1861 and 1863
I have read several discussions about these movements, and I think I understand their relative merits.My question has to do with the years of transition from one movement to the other, and which movement(s) went to the moon.Additionally, I very much like the present day case design, which slightly buries the crown and protects it.Did this case design, with the buried crown, and the 321 movement ever go together?And, finally, if I could find a 321 watch, what price range might I expect, and, do present day watch makers have sufficient access to 321 parts to properly restore such a watch?Oh, wait.One more question.Does the aesthetic enhancement the 1863 movement receives, in order to make look nicer through the sapphire case back, in any way make this a better movement?OK.Enough questions, eh?Thanks.
Omega Seamaster 2225.80 next ?
I can't wait to buy my next Omega and looking seriously at the Seamaster 2225.80. Calgary Jewerelly might be getting an email soon. Does anybody own one of these and how do you like it ?
caring for titanium
To those who have (or had) Ti watches, how did you care for them? Did you allow them to patina or did you polish them? Any does or don'ts you can share?
