Historical Perspectives: Bringing Method To Madness: PBS Explores The Way Timekeeping Impacted Modern Civilization
Think about this for a moment: before the 1880's, there were hundreds of time zones within the United States, with towns all across the country adhering to their own standard of "local time." This confusing system was a relic of an America before efficient transportation networks, when there wasn't much need for a centrally regulated, uniform system. The advancement of the railroad system in the late 1800's necessitated a change to a more standard system, and this short excerpt from the upcoming PBS series "How We Got to Now" demonstrates just how confusing things were before then �C and how essential timekeeping is to keep modern society up and running.
AT 8500 not jumping anymore...
I had sent my Aqua Terra to Omega last year as it was running very fast, but apparently not magnetized. It took almost three months to get it back. Once I received the watch I noticed that the crown didn't feel he same when setting the time, but everything was working so I didn't want to send it out again. Last night I went to wind and set the watch and all of a sudden the hour hand stopped jumping from hour to hour. It is now a smooth rotation, I know there is a problem. I'm planning on sending it back again today however I'm out of warranty at this point.... Bummer, really love this watch and I'd rather not be without it for so long again, not to mention the potential repair costs.
Incoming... strap.
I've been experimenting with different strap options for my GMTC. Bought a couple Natos and liked them, but really wanted something unique to me. A little bit of googling, and stumbled across Aaron from aaronbespoke. Sent him a basic cad drawing of what I wanted (after 19 emails), picked materials and voila! Custom strap to match my 116710LN. Its Alcantara with a leather back. Haven't mounted it yet, but couldn't resist a pic of what it's going to look like!Highly recommended. Great company to deal with. Will post photos once I have it all together!R
Rolex is on fire Baselworld 2018
Apart from the obvious soft drink.Everose GMTRainbow Daytona etc.And finally improvements to the Deepsea, correct the imbalance.I love the details of the new SWISS MADE coronet and new slim lugs. Wow!Devil is in the details.
The Bruce Wlliis
Called an AD today looking for stock and pricing on a YM Rhodium. Sad part is no stock, and no discount.Apparently it's a very hard watch to get. I can get you a blue one anytime, but the rhodium not so much On another note, he mentioned that they call it the Bruce Willis. He came into the shop and liked it and bought 3. One for himself, his assistant, and the director. Still took Bruce Willis 3 months to get them. I guess I don't have as much clout as Bruce Willis. Do you think it will catch on?
