Storm Mekon Watch
I was waiting for someone to do this. It was only a matter of time before the watch world was able to release a budget version of the Corum Bridge watch. Storm UK was the one that did it. Of course this is not a replica or the same watch, but the concept is the same. A mechanical watch with a thin bridge-style movement in an otherwise empty and see-through dial. It certainly looks cool on the wrist.Let's be honest, you can't precisely compare a Corum with this Storm Mekon. While they exist in the same thematic family, this Storm will never replace a Corum in terms of pure horology. Where the Mekon does win is digest-ability. For just a few hundred bucks you can have the look and feel of something that would otherwise cost many thousands. Most people can handle that.I don't necessarily get the name "Mekon." Is it pronounced "mech-on," or perhaps "meek-on." I want to say the latter because of the word "Yukon." Whatever, the pieces speak for themselves. Storm rustled up a mechanical movem

Stay true to AP or diversify the collection?
AP will always be my first preference as I love the brand and their astonishing design aesthetics and beautiful finishing and build quality. I'm looking for another piece considering the AP ceramic anthracite dial but I stumbled across this Rolex rose gold day date 40 and their new anniversary green dial. I love the 44mm RG which has been my favourite piece since 2012 when it came out and acquired it instantly. On weekends and special occasions my rose gold 42 mm on strap gets wrist time. I would definitely prefer the AP ceramic to complete the AP trio but will it be all too Same same or Rolex green dial would be a good option to consider. The only reason I ask this question here as all the members here have amazing collections and watch experiences and they can guide and let us know if an acquisition later will not be regretted and if a person will find a certain disconnect with the watch even through initially they were all for it and took considerable time deciding. I bought the Mil

Constellation quartz question
Does anyone know if a day/date movement will fit in a date only case? Looks identical from outside.

EXPLAINED-Rolex wants to keep quality standard high & costs low
I think we have been cynical of Rolex. The high demand of specific SS sports models is the reason for the markets low supplyThis is why:Keep quality high: They will spend the same amt of time manufacturing a watch. They cannot tell their employees to work faster to increase supply. They want to keep giving their customers flawless models....and I wouldn't expect anything besides flawless from Rolex.Keep costs low: Rolex will not hire extra employees and train them because is huge money. AND for a possible temporary boom in specific SS models, they will not hire extra people. They would need lease a bigger office space for the watch makers AND buy more machines that are automated.....this is some serious $$$WE are the reason for the short supply in the market of SS models.Lastly---If Rolex were to increase production, demand would HAVE to be across ALL models...not just the SS sports ones.Dont blame Rolex.....they are not cutting production or under supplying the market......its simply
