Truth In Watch Movement Advertising And Defining Watch Caliber Origins Once And For All
Rolex currently produces in-house made movements for their entire watch collection, but that wasn't always the case. A few small parts today may still come from niche third-party Swiss suppliers.The movement of a watch is the engine inside of it which "makes it work." I understand that novices to the world of watches may not even be aware of what "watch movement" means. Watch movements are generally classified as mechanical or quartz (electronic), and are, in many ways, what draw people to purchase or desire a particular timepiece. Drawing an analogy from the world of cars, you don't necessarily buy a new vehicle simply because of the engine inside of it and its claimed performance, but because of the complete design, driving experience, and mechanical performance put together. Like car engines, when it comes to watch movements, there is no lack of topics to discuss.Today, we will be discussing a very important matter concerning watch movements: who made them, and where they come from.

Amazing service in Clearwater
Sent my 15400 in for two year pressure test, inspection and warranty extension. They found some of the oils had dried so they did a complete service, sent an apologetic letter and extended the warranty two years! Total time from drop off to pickup at Govberg was 23 days! Makes you wonder about Patek's 6-8 month turnaround for simple service. Glad to have it back.

2012 AP Carbon Diver
Had the chance to try one on this weekMy first impression when i saw the pics from SIHH were WTF a Aquatimer because of the yellow inner ringBut i must say when i saw the watch and trying it on.. It isn't all that badThe weight is super comfortable and my favorite is the Ceramet bezel which is pretty much scratch free.I would have loved it in all black but you can't have it allAnyway here's the pics of it
