Visiting The Julien Coudray 1518 Manufacture: A Hidden Gem Where Watchmaking Tradition Prevails
Being a so-called "Manufacture" in the Swiss watch making industry has probably never been as important as it is today. To be clear, a manufacture is commonly defined as a company that makes most all components itself (and hence probably in Switzerland), with the possibly acceptable exclusion of jewels, the hairspring, and the crystal.?This previously unseen craze in regard to being a vertically integrated manufacturer has been brought about?by two different causes: for one,?it is the Swatch Group's decision to cut the amount of supplied ETA-movements to non-Swatch companies; and second,?the recent?marketing "strategies" that created a perception of added value and prestige around the status of being a manufacture. During the last decade or so we have even seen a few brands try and achieve this status prematurely �C and the result of those trials clearly highlighted?some of the difficulties linked to this?Herculean task.The main challenge to becoming a manufacture is mastering the more

Got to try this
So went in to AD to pick up the green tag that I forgot at the store the other day.The hulk and SD43 was gone!So I inquired about SS Daytona, out of curiosity. Specially I got so many PMs. The manager gave some good info and after sometime he said he has one in the safe. I was really excited and he comes out with a white dial SS Daytona. Really nice time piece, I liked the white and black combination. But its not for me.He said they usually don't even show it to customers. They show it to selected few and sell to even fewer ones!! I could get it, but I love my TT more.He said 95% of the times its the hype for the watch that results in huge demand. Everyone wants to buy and flip it. Very few people actually want it for what it is. To avoid flipping, they sell to selected few customers. Interesting AD, and interesting stories!Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

Oscillating Weight issue for Daytona
HiI have a Rolex Daytona that has a damaged oscillating wheel, I wanted to find out that if I take it into a Rolex AD will they just replace the oscillating weight or will they make me get the full service? Just want to know what I'm getting into before I get into it :). Any help is much appreciated!Thanks
