Watches + Video Games: Romain Jerome Teams Up With Taito
It is funny how things develop as time goes on. So many watch I write about are dedicated to something young men would have been into in the 1960s and 1970s. Racing, planes, space travel, etcAll things that play with mens' imaginations at a young age and when they are older still have the same effect, with that added sense of nostalgia they helps you spend cash. Now watch makers are starting to more and more direct their attention on things that had more of an effect on me, such as science fiction and video games.Romain Jerome has just penned a character licensing deal with Taito - publisher of the arcade shooter game Space Invaders that was popular in the early 1980s. RJ's Moon Invader line of watches has a small Space Invader character on the back of the watch.

Thinking of cutting an extra notch on my rubber strap
I have an rg44, and wear it on its tightest buckle notch. still comfortable to wear. However, it's a bit loose and can slide down my wrist enough that bending my hand all the way back makes the chrono pushers dig into the back of my hand. If I had just one more notch on the rubber strap would give it a perfect fit. Should I take an exacto knife to it and make a new hole myself? is there a shorter strap I can get? What do you guys think?

Vintage Omega Seamaster DeVille - Winder
Hi all,I just got my grandfather's Seamaster back from the Omega Boutique in NYC after a full restore - no polish. Watch looks amazing and proud to be wearing for many reasons. I'd like to keep it on a winder and was curious if anyone knew the appropriate TPD and direction? Judging by the inscriptions on the back is dated 1971, retirement gift from the city. Omega wrote what I believe is the serial # 10517XX but not 100% positive that is the actual SN. Picture attached. The in-house watchmaker at the boutique gave an answer of four hours that was no help.Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
