Eyeing the Dots: The Red Dot Award-Winning Watches of 2015
The Red Dot Awards are international prizes given annually for design excellence in myriad products, from eyeglasses to cars to household appliances. The 2015 winners in the watch category have been announced. (This is the first year that the Essen, Germany-based Red Dot organization separated watches and jewelry into two different categories for judging.)There were two top winners, each earning the title Best of the Best. One was the most famous, most highly publicized, most vigorously hyped watch in history: the Apple Watch. No need to describe it here. The other was made by a company nearly no one outside the watch world has ever heard of: MB&F, or Max Bu?sser & Friends. Its Best of the Best watch was the Horological Machine No. 6 Space Pirate. The watch has five domes: two show the time and two are for, as MB&F describes it, twin sphered turbines that spin horizontally, automatically regulating the winding system in case of excessive speed to reduce wear and tear.

Breaking stem and water resistance issues only for 5402 and cal. 2121?
So I have been looking at some of the 36mm ROs, and wanted to inquire further into whether AP had similar issues with the crown breaking off with models outside of the 5402, I also read in the sticky above that AP cannot certify water resistance in the 5402 following service, does this only apply to the 5402 or other models as well?For servicing out of warranty APs, can you tell AP to do movement only services like you can with the RSC, like tell them to leave the bezel, dial, etc alone and just service the movement and restore water resistance?I haven't had a chance to put a 36mm RO on my wrist yet but I have a 6.4 wrist so I'm thinking it would be better suited to me in diameter and thickness than a ROO. Also as I am looking for something to where for the most part with button downs and sport coats, it won't cause as much issue with cuffs but would like to have something that I have to worry over on a rainy day, remove while washing my hands or suffer a broken stem every other year f

Rolex Yachtmaster midsize 35mm
Hello All,Just wanted to ask what you think. Is the Yacht-master 1 an in demand piece? The least favored design? I just wonder why the used prices are far less from the retail price. Im thinking of getting one, but not sure yet. Feel free to chime in...I don't like Yachtmaster 2, but we are talking about the first one in this post.
