Should Watch Makers Advertise The Accuracy Of Mechanical Watches?
Research a car, and you'll know its mileage and 0-60 time. Buy a phone, and you'll get information about estimated battery life and how much memory it has. Buy a watch, and you'll rarely have any information as to how accurate it is supposed to be. Of course, anyone can take in their watch to a watchmaker and have its rate results tested or use a device they purchase on their own, but why is it that more watch companies don't make it a point of pride to advertise how accurate their watches are?Installing a balance wheel and upper tourbillon cageBefore I begin a longer conversation on this topic, I want to make it clear that there are some rather compelling reasons why watch makers do not make estimates on accuracy or how well their timepieces will perform �C and I'll get to that in more detail a bit later. Nevertheless,?in an industry where things like "chronometry and isochronism" (and related concepts) are discussed all the time in marketing materials, shouldn't watchmakers take a bit

CX Swiss Military 20,000 Feet Diver: Deepest Diving Mechanical Watch Ever
People have funny dreams. Some people have dreams of making watches with incredible water resistance. This Swiss Military 20,000 Feet Diver watch was a dream to do just that; create a mechanical watch that can survive just that, 20,000 feet under water. Not just any mechanical watch, but a chronograph, which is harder to keep as water resistant. The watch was made, it survived the pressure chamber, and it got awarded the word record. The 20,000 Feet Diver defeated the record Rolex set in 2008 with the new DeepSea Sea-Dweller watch by about 50%. It is rather cool that you can buy a Guinness world record holding watch.The story started in 2005 with Swiss Military's 12,000 Feet CX Diver, which was the deepest diving watch of its time. The 12,000 Feet watch was an automatic, but not a chronograph. Though impressive and record breaking, it just wasn't enough! "We Must Go Deeper!" Swiss Military Watches by Charmex had the drive and skills to make it happen, so development began on something

Blacksteel? How tough is the coating?
How tough is the coating for the Blacksteel models? Is it just like other PVD or DLC coating?

To polish or not to polish?
I just inherited a lovely 116613 from my dad and I'm in love with it. Now my dad doesn't really take care of his watches. Not just when he's wearing them, but he also doesn't store them well. As a result, this watch is quite beat up. He didn't even wear it as much as his other pieces but it looks like a daily beater of a watch.I love the fact that it has all of the marks from my dads usage over the years, but a small part of me is considering getting the whole case refinished so that I can leave my own marks on this beauty.IMG_20180412_142301 (1).jpgIMG_20180412_142337.jpgIMG_20180412_142235 (1).jpgI've attached some photos, but there are a lot more marks than what I'm showing. What would you guys do?
