New RGM North Pointer Professional GMT 254 Watch
RGM makes watches in Lancaster County,? Pennsylvania, which is a hub of American watch making. In fact, the majority of hands-on watch making that occurs in America today is in, or near Pennsylvania. A fact that strikes me as curious given the remote nature of some of these towns, but makes sense if you compare it to fine German and Swiss watch making towns. You'd be surprised to know that most of the independent watch makers in Germany and Switzerland are based in old farmhouses or alike building in tiny rural areas. take the famous Glashutte region, which is basically a one street village. I don't know why this is, but it must mean that watch makers don't like to be bothered. Thus, you'll find a lot of homegrown American watch making in what is essentially Amish country. Go Figure.RGM is a special watch company in America because they produce one of the first American made watch movements to have been developed in a long time. This movement is not in all of their watches, as they mos

Rose gold for daily casual wear? (5227R)
Hi everyone-Another one of those threads asking for advice, please bear with me. I am currently debating between the 5227G and 5227R as my next PP. I have always worn either steel or white gold and I once owned a Two Tone GMT II years back. I'm taking a liking to the rose gold Calatrava but one of my main considerations is suitability for daily wear. Is the rose gold flashy in a daily setting? I work in a very casual environment and wear jeans, a short sleeved polo and Oxford shoes to work almost everyday and I'd like to consider myself a very low key guy. I am wondering how the rose gold would look as opposed to say, yellow or white gold. I have tried on the watch twice at an AD and it seems ok, but with the harsh lights and all I really could not judge how it would look in a normal setting. Any thoughts, inputs and/or photos would be much appreciated. ThanksSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone own/wear only one Rolex?
I only own one Rolex. Why? Mainly because I don't have a lot of disposable to spend a lot on watches. :^) I decided a couple of years ago to save a little bit each month to put towards the Rolex fund. After several months, I had enough to pay for my new OP!! I don't regret buying this watch and it has been with me everyday whether it's in the office, in the woods, or fishing on the river. I don't baby it (too much!) and plan to hold onto it for a lifetime.Is there anyone else out there who only owns or wears ONE watch everyday? If so, let's see it!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
