Watch What-If: Luxury Swiss Star Wars Watches
Star Wars fever is back this year, as later in 2015, the popular science fiction movie franchise sees its seventh film with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We recently learned that Nixon from California will be producing some exclusive Star Wars watches, and it is no secret that many modern, avant-garde luxury watches were inspired by story universes such as Star Wars and Star Trek. To that end, we wanted to see what it might be like to have Star Wars watches produced by some of the more popular and "mainstream" luxury Swiss watch makers - which is the subject of this installment of "Watch What-If."Once again, the art and concepts are by Niklas Bergenstjerna - who worked with us to create these five fantasy Star Wars watches by Swiss watch brands you know. The idea is that the characters who inspired these watches might very likely actually wear them (if either were to exist). I hope that these fit into the almost religious "Star Wars canon." Here are words directly from Mr. Bergenstjern

David Yurman Revolution Shelby 1000 Limited Edition Watch
American automotive legend Carroll Shelby passed away recently. He worked up until the end of his life and helped changed the face of what was cool in American automobiles. He is most well-known for his long partnership with Ford. Producing many versions of the Shelby Mustang, as well as the famous Shelby Cobra car. Just before he died, Shelby America released a new version of the Shelby Mustang called the Shelby 1000. It is meant to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the company and has 1,100hp. So where does that 1000 number come from? I really don't know.Shelby partnered with David Yurman for a special limited edition version of their Revolution sport watch called the David Yurman Revolution Shelby 1000 Limited Edition. Actually there are two versions of the watch. One is strictly limited, and the other will have a "limited production." The cool watch gracefully embodies the spirit of the Cobra and the famous sport's marque. Other brands such as MARCH LA.B have worked with Shelby bef

Which pair do you consider more redundant?
This is what I have at the moment:I'm lazy and don't rotate much so I'm thinking of downsizing some more and keeping just four watches. The Lange is rarely used but it's the dress watch, the Speedy is the beater, so that leaves the other three on the chopping block. The AP is my daily driver and on the weekends I usually go for the PP, so fhe Sub is pretty much a goner. Now for the actual question, I've been offered a BNIB 5711 white dial for list price and I'm really considering it, the thing is do I use the AP to fund it or the 5167?Part of me thinks that both PP's are pretty similar in shape (same movement of course) but another feels that having the 5711 and the AP is redundant both being on a steel bracelet. What do you think?I know, go with what sings to you, follow your gut... I will, but I'm interested in your opinions.

Any Pics Of Aquanauts With Wear?
All the torture with these beautiful incoming 5167a's has me wondering what a well-loved/ scratched up/ worn Aquanaut looks like. Now I accept that most owners are fairly careful with their $20k wrist adornments, but I have seen such 5711's. And honestly a worn and scratched 5711 is not a pretty sight in my opinion.Does a worn and scratched Aquanaut look as bad as that 5711 I saw?

A question of accuracy and time
I understand the stated accuracy of the movements.I also understand the various apps for measuring watch accuracy.But what is more important - to me at least - is how the watch is set.I stop the movement and adjust the hands as best I can visually.Then I start the movement by pushing in the crown while viewing a time clock. Lot of room for human error. Then I think there must be some short time lag before the gears begin turning the hands.So while my watch is very accurate I am more interested in setting and reading the time correctly.When I just quickly glance at the dial I can easily tell the actual time within 30 sec. (just by looking at the hands).Good enough for rock 'n roll. Of course I can read the sweep seconds for greater precision.I am curious what methods people use set their watch. Maybe its just my OCD...Forgive a newbie - I just wanted to start a thread that I thought TRF folks could help me understand (and that was not about DayC's).
