Introducing: Roger Dubuis Announces The Hommage Mill��sime Pocket Watches, A Series Of One Of A Kind Timepieces
Roger Dubuis has just shared with us the beginning of a most interesting project and one that will undoubtedly attract a good deal of attention, as well as, perhaps, a bit of controversy. This is the Hommage Millésime project. The name means, approximately, Vintage Homage, and the idea is to take very high grade and complicated movement ébauches – generally from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when classical watch construction and finishing techniques really reached their pinnacle before beginning to be supplanted by machine and automated manufacturing and finishing tools – and to use them as the basis for making watches that reflect both the heritage of Roger Dubuis and the personal history of Mr. Roger Dubuis. 1 OF 4 Roger Dubuis himself is a watchmaker who began his professional life working in the restoration of rare and often very complicated vintage clocks and watches, and restoration remains a key aspect of his overall views on the

RO DLC coating
Considering adding DLC coating to a Royal Oak 15305ST.Have seen a 15400ST with DLC coating. First thought was a 15305 is the same on the outside so could be done but began wondering if there is there any reason the 15305 would be different. Do they perhaps have to remove the movement which would be harder in a skeleton piece?

Upmost thanks to TRF, you did good.
I just wanted to post a quick thank you to everyone who frequents this forum with regularity, without your wisdom I could not be as happy as am I today. (And if you're just here for the thanks skip to the last paragraph because I'm going to rabble a bit first.)I've owned one watch for a very long time, a Tag Heuer my dad bought for me on my 13th birthday (more on that later.)For a long time I thought good watches were crazy expensive, shiny things that I would never be able to understand, but over time and lots of research I started to understand them for what they are.Ingenious works of technology that should be cherished and loved (and worn and used) as the tools that they are, not something to be bought and hidden away.The more time I've spend looking at your posts the more I've come to realise the these things are treasures to be worn and used, so after many other ��toy' watches (and I mean that affectionately, like the Tag Heuer Monaco I loved dearly) I decided to buy my first Ro

There MUST be a new Submariner coming at Basel?!
Hi all,First post on this forum, I am a bit of a newby when it comes to Rolex, hence my username!I have loved watches for a long time and currently own a Speedmaster. I have recently fallen in love with the Submariner and have decided that I would like to buy one. The problem is, there aren't any available from an AD in my area! I got an email from an AD today saying that they have closed waiting lists for Submariners and he will be back in touch when they reopen and for a 20% deposit I can get on the list. Of course, I could buy one on the grey market but I refuse to pay at least ��1000 over MSRP for a used watch.I just don't understand why there would be such scarcity of a watch like the Submariner if there wasn't something coming out at Basel, maybe not a new design but at least an updated movement. I understand models like the Daytonas being scarce, the hulk, BLNR etc. But I just want a regular old Submariner and I can't even get on a waiting list?!?! Something is up for sure.Less t

Buying guide Rolex Melbourne
Hi guys,New to the forum, so any assistance or advice is much appreciated. I am in kind of dilema as I am needing a watch for my engagement party at $9-10kUSD. I always love submariner and would like to get the cheapest entry which is the stainless steel no date/date in black and green. I have been trying to get one for 1.5 year with no luck. One of the boutique manager is really nice but he has been struggling to get one as well. Can you guys give me recommendation whether I should still wait or get it from overseas? Thank you,Clow
