Richard Mille RM 033 Watch With Arabic Numeral Dial
I recently wrote about the new for 2011 ultra thin RM 033 watch here. My hands-on review showed you the version of the RM 033 (RM033) with the Roman numeral dial. As promised, here is an exclusive look at the RM 033 with an Arabic numeral dial. The face is cleaned up and large Richard Mille style Arabic numerals are placed at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock placements. Personally, I think this is the best look for the RM 033. It will come in the same 45.7mm wide by 6.30mm thick case available in 18k red or white gold, as well as platinum. Inside the watch is a really great looking automatic movement with a micro rotor. According to Richard Mille this RM 033 with Arabic numeral dial will be available in November 2011. See the link to the previous article for more tech specs and pricing.

Waiter, There Is Some Shit In My Artya Watch!
Straight up petrified dinosaur shit in a watch. Either it is the poor man's fossil accessory, of the edgiest piece of the Jurassic available. You'd actually be surprised how many people collect the substance known as coprolite. You have probably already guessed what it is. In his ongoing quest to shock, awe, and inspire, Yvan Arpa gives you the Artya Coprolite. Artya is his own brand. He is the guy who pretty much made Romain Jerome what it is. His new mission is to continue "remaking" the watch - with an artistic flare unparalleled by other contemporaries.No doubt that preference for the Artya Coprolite is an acquired taste. Not only is the dial material something you need to think kicks ass, but you need to stomach 50mm of it including the case on your wrist. Arpa has a fascination with decay. As such, the steel or bronze case here is done in a fashion that resembles highly weathered metal. When I first looked at the piece it seemed to resemble a watch I had seen elsewhere. When I fi

Have you ever seen another AP in the wild?
Of all the brands I collect, I've never seen another AP IRL out in the wild. I'm not talking about GTGs or even fellow WIS - even then there aren't many. Sure you see Ambassadors and celebrities alike wearing APs but usually on TV or print. Rolexes seem as plentiful as the stars in the sky, Omegas abound like fish in the sea, Pateks pop up once in a blue moon, Breguet, JLC, IWC, Blancpain, GP, VC, etc... I've seen them all in the wild... all but another AP. Mind you, I love individuality but I'd have thought I'd have run into at least one up to this point? I must be hanging in the wrong circles.

Recent Purchase, Speedy Pro 3590.50
So I just picked up a 3590.50 from a trusted seller here on TRF and I am very happy with its condition, it really is like brand new and I cant find a scratch on it. My only concern is that the watch hasn't been serviced since it was made in 1992, although the movement looks brand new and I dont see any corrosion of any kind. And it currently is +10 a day. I wanted to see if you guys would recommend having it serviced, and if so should I have any of the parts replaced like crown, pushers, and hesalite crystal. I plan on keeping the dial and hands to keep its vintage feel, but want the movement in tip top shape. Or should I just keep wearing it and forget the service. Opinions would be greatly appreciated.

The right way to define GMT
I came across this video showing how he defines GMT watch. Do you all agree with him? Because according to his definition, some Omega GMT watches may not be regarded as GMT because they do not have jump hour function. Many of my GMT watches which used ETA 2893 movement that only can move the 24 hand also are also not regarded as GMT. What do you think?https://youtu.be/NNzKaCZfVh8
