Harwood, Original Maker Of The Automatic Wrist Watch Resurfaces: Look Past Lukewarm Looks For Interesting Designs
If you ever wanted to know who the original maker of the automatic wrist watch was, it was Harwood, a British watch company. They didn't invent the automatic winding mechanism, that was done previously in pocket watches, but they were the first to bring them to the wrist watch with a patent in 1924. Founder, John Harwood was a soldier in World War 1 and a watch maker. He wanted to create a watch that could withstand the elements better, as well as make it more convenient. He understood that constantly winding a hand-wound watch exposed it to lots of dust and other types of wear. Thus, it seemed an obvious solution to bring automatic winding via an internal rotor to the wrist watch. The design of which needed to be miniaturized and modified to work best on the wrist, rather than the pocket.

Tudor Deployant Clasp
I just purchased a RubberB for my Black Bay and now I'm looking for a deployant clasp, preferably OEM. I've seen a few on eBay for about $55 that are being sold (from Latvia and Israel with free shipping ) that have the Tudor logo and look authentic but are probably knockoffs. I can't believe that an OEM clasp would sell for that price. https://m.ebay/itm/18-mm-Stainle...IAAOSwAQBauF20Should I contact Tudor directly or a Tudor AD and would they sell me just the clasp without an accompanying leather strap or should I take a chance with eBay? All comments are welcome especially from anyone who has sourced a deployant clasp, whether OEM or aftermarket.

Hi, I'm interested in a 1988 (birth year) sub. I've done some research on the various models available from the time period but would love to here others opinions on which model I should try to get and why.I'd plan for this watch to be in my regular rotation and thus be worn on a weekly basis. Thanks for your help and opinions.
