Speake-Marin Marin 1 Watch Hands-On
Peter Speake-Marin is a highly noteworthy independent watch maker who has his hands in many interesting watches out there. Most important of course is his own brand, Speake-Marin. 2010 sees a new model, and most importantly a new movement - the Speake-Marin in-house made SM2 automatic. The movement is really beautiful. You can see it through the new Marin 1 watch caseback - being able to appreciate not only Speake-Marin's attention to detail and decoration, but also how beautifully it is made. The hallmark of a true luxury movement is that it looks beautiful from a quality standpoint, and that the actually design of it is made with form and function in mind. The automatic rotor has a hidden weight on the bottom so that seeing it from the top makes it look symmetrical. The design (which is carried over to other parts of the movement) of the rotor is very cool looking, like a mixture of classic floral decoration and tribal style tattoos.The SM2 automatic movement took Speake-Marin a few

Movement/Winding Questions
Hi all, I have a couple of perhaps naive questions, not really specific to any particular brand or watch, but the context is my AP RO 15400:1. Does the accuracy of a watch depend on how wound up it is? I've been assuming that a (good quality) watch will, when running at all, keep consistent time. But is it instead the case that being fully wound makes it more accurate than if, for example, it is hardly wound at all?2. Can wearing the watch top up the winding? If for example I wound my 15400 only 20 turns from it being stopped (I never would, but for the sake of a simple example!), but then wore it for several days, would it get topped up to fully wound, or just maintain that initial level? I have a reasonably active life style (plenty of fast walking for instance).

recommendations please
Please be gentle with me ... this is my first post and I don't know if I have posted it in the correct place or whether I should be posting something like this in the first place (even thought I have read the Ts and Cs). Anyway, I digress.....Can anyone suggest a recommendation for a second-hand Rolex please. I have a kitty of ��2,000.I do like the Black Faced Explorer 2 but I realise this is beyond my budget right now.Thanks.
