Help with winder settings for a couple of AP !
Just got a great 2.7 Wolf watch winder where I can customize the turns per day and direction. I'm trying to 'dial' in the most appropriate settings and any help would be appreciated.I have the 44mm Novelty 26400RO with the 3126 cal. movement and a Rubber Clad 25940SK with the 2326 movement.I've had the novelty on a 350 turns per day bi-directional setting (so 700 per day) and it seems to be ok. However the rubber clad ran out of power reserve and stopped after a few days on the same settings. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated ! TIA !

Master chronometer video
I recently purchased a new PO with the master chronometer and it's an amazing watch. I stumbled upon this article and the video is very impressive. Omega is doing some really cool stuff and just wanted to share. https://monochrome-watches/inside-omega

Speedy on Mesh...
For years now I am hunting for the right strap/bracelet for the Speedmaster.Due to my rather small wrists the Speedy looks pretty large, and I am not into large watches as you all might know..I prefer them max 40mm.The most beautiful strap combo is honey brown leather IMHO..The bracelet....well, I tried them all, but the Mesh...IMHO the ultimate Speedy bracelet together with the 1450 of course.But the good thing about the Mesh is that it downsizes the size of the Speedy.Of course this is a optical illusion, but it works for me..Here some snapshots I made yesterday with my cellphone..Lets see how long this combo stays on my wrist....

Poll time
5146R vs 5396r v 5205r (white dial) These are 3 I'm considering getting my father for father's day. He is a relatively hip man with more modern tastes. Currently he has a 5170G and that's it (a gift from my mother). I believe his wrist is 7.25 but that doesn't really matter. I feel the 5205R is the most dressy and kind of cool with the lugs and dial, really a special piece to look at. The day, date, month are easy to read (but the 24h indicator seems useless)The 5146R is classic looking and the sub dials are nice rather than have a digital display....the power reserve is nice for a man like him.The 5396R is pretty slick, I could see him liking the clean contemporary look. Just want some input, I'm going to take him to the AD and he will ultimately have the last say but I can sway him one way or the other as he's a very indecisive man (the 5170 was bought going in thinking he was going to get a 5960P...so yeah he can always change his mind). But a calendar is what he says he wants. Annu

Attention Rolex...
By the way, my very best wishes to all, and may 2018 be your best year ever.I just returned from a week fishing at Tropic Star Lodge, Panama. Throughout the trip I wore a Yachtmaster. I kept being told to be careful with the clasp of my watch getting caught with the reel when reeling in. I've been fishing all my life, most of that time wearing a Rolex watch and I must admit that I've never had the clasp of my watch hitting a reel. However, when looking at it, the protruding end of the clasp could very easily get caught with the reel. Moreover, I have always disliked the way the clasp fits high over the bracelet on the Oyster bracelet. Which is a reason I like very much the way the Jubilee clasp on the new 36mm Datejust fits flush with the bracelet; the same as on the President bracelet. It would be great if Rolex would take a further step in improving their bracelets by making the clasp fit more seamlessly with the links on the bracelet. As is the case with some IWC and Omega br
