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.

Best Deal on Speedmaster Pro
My AD (online) lied to me and told me they had a Speedy pro in stock, only to find out it's on backorder after I ordered it. Got a decent deal at $2.5K new, but was wondering if any of you knew either a used one (excellent+ shape) or new one (legit gray market is ok) that could beat that, and has it in stock. Appreciate any help.Jason

Help me learn about finding my birth year Sub
Hey TRF,After much hemming and hawing I have decided to save and plan for a birth year SS Sub, preferably no date (I'll settle for date if I have to). So I'm late December 1984. I guess an ��85 would be fine too right? What I want to know is: where should I look for one, and what sort of price point should I be expecting? Anything else I should know? Is this technically vintage? Is it still 5513 or did those stop in the early 80s?Thanks!
