SEWILLS "FERREIRA" PRS-39
Resurrecting past glories is always a challenge with a tendency to go rather wrong. The modern VW Beetle resembles Ferry Porsche's design like a bottle of Tesco Value Red resembles Chateau Cheval Blanc 2000. Citro?n's chief executive should be publicly pickled in LHM fluid for permitting the DS5 – that Picasso-in-a-frock – to use Bertoni's sacred DS name.Timefactors' Eddie Platts has been brave indeed in resurrecting the venerable name of Sewills. Joseph Sewell started making nautical navigation instruments in nineteenth century Liverpool, only ceasing manufacture in 2000. Sewill's original instruments are things of beauty and function, found on merchantmen and even Cunard liners. His marine chronometers have the easy elegance that nineteenth century craftsmen gave to everything from cast iron railway station pillars to postboxes. Even the engraving on his sextants would make modern typographers weep.So, does the the Timefactors Ferreira (PRS-39) manage it?The 316L stainles

Swapping bezels
Does anyone know if it is possible to swap bezels on the ROO 42mm?I can get the old vampire for a really good price but I really like the black ceramic bezel of the new one (but hate the strap). Just wanted to know if it was possible to get the ceramic bezel on it's own and swap them.

Omega Rolex Ripoffs at Basel
forums.timezone/index.php...4885&rid=11125Take a look at Omegas offerings at Basel, don't you think they are Rolex ripoffs. Saying that, i do like them

First for me: Rolex stopped running...
In 30 years of wearing Rolex, I have never had one stop running. Some of you that know me, know that I have bought many project watches over the years and done restorations. Some were real beat up but still ran. My first Sub I wore daily and it was pretty thrashed but still kept good time over 12 years without a service. The bezel was bent, the crown broke, but she still kept good time.Reached into the winder this morning to grab my 16750 Polar which is a U serial from 1996/97 ish. She was not running. Reset time and date, gave a full wind, couple taps and shakes and nothing. She is toast. We had guessed that this watch had never been serviced, and she ran a little fast but still ran. Not complaining at all. I believe this watch ran for 20 continuous years without a service. Really a tribute to how well Rolex is made. Guess it is time for a complete service. Next time I go to the city I will drop it off to my buddy who is a CW21 and my go to WS.
