Urwerk EMC Black Watch Presents The Dark Side Of Horological Tinkering
It was only a few months ago that we went hands-on with Urwerk's amazing EMC watch?and discovered its unique electro-mechanical venture into?horology. Now, the brand has announced a new PVD coated version of the Urwerk EMC, dressing up this beast of a watch in a stealthy, matte black color. Now, where the Urwerk EMC watch stood out was that it mixed mechanical timekeeping with a digital accuracy checking device that would allow the wearer of the watch to check?the accuracy of the watch at any given moment, without having to connect the timepiece to an external machine or any other apparatus. It was called the?"Electro Mechanic Control," and it certainly remains the key feature of the Urwerk EMC Black.That sounds complicated enough, and despite the hugely impressive achievements in miniaturization, the UR-EMC movement still requires substantial space. You see, while?the so-called?large watch trend of late?certainly brought along the �C oftentimes?rightful �C criticisms of watch enthusiast

Question about crown on Diver
So I noticed today that the rubber insert on the crown is a hexagon. If at the right angle, the top and bottom (if you look at the case from the side) of the hexagon can clear the crown protectors perfectly. If you turn the crown 45 degree more, then the pointy parts of the hexagon are kind of squeezed by the crown protector (even though I see that they added some clearance for this). Do you guys turn the crown until it is flat on both sides of the crown protector or let the pointy part of the rubber insert squeeze against the crown protector?

Holidays are Coming
Holidays are coming and wanted to be ready.Got these for our 2 boys (ages - 28 WG Daytona, 31 DSSD).28 lives in Europe, travels frequently, 31 in California.Both are on casual side, figured these would be appropriate, and have read how comfortable the Tropical strap is. Also under the radar. Considered 2 - 5167's, liked the date window, however I liked the feel of the 5164's more, and the second time zone for the traveler.I generally wear PP 5980/1A-001, PP 5270 Series 1, and occasionally a Rolex Double Red Sea-Dweller.Now I think I need a Tropical watch also??

Unpolished 5 digit references
How common are they out there. Seems most were purchased to be worn (vs collected) and likely would have seen at least one service by now (probably more).

Blnr or sd43?
Tough call
