Introducing The Urwerk EMC: The First Mechanical Watch With Artifical Intelligence, Capable of Being
In Urwerk's never-ending mission to produce some of the most interesting and genre-bending mechanical watches on the planet, we now present you with the EMC, or Electro Mechanical Control.? We showed you the movement to the EMC here back at Basel, but now the watch has been unveiled, and it's a doozy.? The EMC is "the world's first precision mechanical watch in which the timing can be monitored and adjusted by the user, on the fly - essentially? It's interactive. 2 OF 6 So what does this mean specifically? Well the watchmaker's best friend is a device called a Witschi, which listens to the rhythm of the balance and displays the performance of the movement, how much a movement gains or loses in 24 hours.? The EMC essentially has a Witschi built into it (electronic, though manually wound!) so that the wearer sees how his was his running.? And, the EMC offers the wearer to adjust the watch on the fly to keep chronometric performance at its peak. 3 OF 6 EMC feat

Strap maker rankings
I've been flipping PAM straps now for a couple of years & for now have pretty much settled on a stable collection of 7 or 8. I've tried a wide range but now gravitate toward finished edges & less beat up looking straps.After having ordered straps from a bunch of prominent strap makers, here is how I would rank them in general. Obviously a very subjective list & perhaps had I ordered a different strap from some of these I would have had a different impression. Customer service has been good from pretty much all of them.I'd be interested to know what others think:1-Mario Paci 2-Greg Stevens3-Micah4-Simona5-Rob Montana6-Dirk7-Gunny8-Europelli9-Ted Su10-Toshi

Double Anti-Reflective Coating?
I notice that Rolex are saying in the 'brochure' that the New GMT, Cyclops has 'Double Anti-Reflective Coating'.Not sure what this means.I interperate this as meaning that perhaps the main crystal is AR coated and that the Cyclops is given a seperate coat of AR 'paint' justbefore the 'glue'?

228239 White Dial
I'm a sucker for the Roman numeral dials. I've seen tons for DD40 offered for sale here with the blue dials and the anniversary green dials, but I don't think I've seen a WG white dial Roman offered. Is it not a popular watch or just the opposite? I'm thinking of adding that as my next piece if I can find it for the right price.On that note, what are your thoughts on a DJ 41 being offered with the white dial Romans? I saw that they added the slate dial green Romans in SS. Fingers are crossed they add the white Roman to the DJ41 lineup.
