A Guide to Super Compressors
The term “Super Compressor” is one that is quite often misused these days. Most people associate Super Compressor (SC) with any watch that has dual crowns and an internal rotating bezel, but it’s not that simple. Super Compressor is a trademarked name for specific case designs made by the case manufacturer Ervin Piquerez S.A. (EPSA). They designed a patented case sealing method that actually became more water tight the deeper the watch went. The deeper you went, the more pressure was applied to the case-back, pressing it against the O-ring gasket.Most of the SC case-backs have a spring on them, so that the back was tight without being completely compressed against the case. With increasing water pressure, the back was pressed further against the case increasing water resistance. Another advantage of this configuration is that the O-ring did not have full pressure on it constantly, extending its life. Most SC watches were rated to a depth of 600ft.counter-clockwise fro

Could not resist...
Went to buy the Jumbo 15202ST. As usual not available. Found this one, had it in mind since long but never seen it in flesh. It's a beauty, really no photos can do it justice. Could not resist and bought it. Tax free but no discount despite my 45 min haggling trials.Sorry for the poor quality photos.

Dealer Cost
Hi folks! It is no secret on TRF that dealer cost for a Rolex is 62% of the MSRP. However, can someone please tell me what is dealer cost for an Omega? I searched, and could not find updated information. A Google search revealed that some years back it was 55% of the MSRP. However, I am not certain if this is accurate. I would really appreciate updated and accurate information. Thank you.

AP 15400 + Rolex SubC towards an Aqua 5167/1A -- what are your ideas about, please ?
Big, Big doubt I know, most of you guys would go towards Patek with no blinking .... but I need some of your thoughts on this subject I was offered the trade of my AP 15400, pic below, and a BNIB Rolex Sub C that I am about to pick up at AD, towards a BNIB Aquanaut 5167/1A .I am considering to finally REFUSE this trade .On my newbie opinion, there's not too much advantage trading a watch like that AP towards Aquanaut -- in my opinion, watches that are apparently on similar level , and still throw in a BNIB SubC..... Is my idea wrong?Hearing your ideas that could show me otherwise is very important just now !The Aqua available is on bracelet, the cash difference towards them is very low, and the look of Aqua in bracelet is quite nice IMHO -- which has surprised me, given all preferences here is for the rubber strap version . Maybe because I do like bracelets, given that I really like the bracelet version on my AP .Friends are saying that SubC are easy to get and I am just hoarding b
