Roland Iten R8 Mk.II Luxury Belt Buckle Hands-On Exclusive
Yes, it isn't a watch, but it is what a belt buckle is when made and designed by watch makers, and people in the watch making world. I haven't specifically written about Roland Iten before on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer, but he is an inventor and a designer - and he is very talented. Roland Iten is based in Switzerland, and his items are totally made in Switzerland. Few people have his eye for aesthetic, taste, and engineering. He is sort of an ultra suave nerd - my kinda guy. In fact, in his words, the three principles that lead all of his designs are "performance, skill, and sophistication." The implication is that these elements are what make his inventions interesting, are why his clients are attracted to the luxury gadgets he creates. What I like is that his products are all useful.

diecievous history channel
I'm watching a show on the history channel talking about ancient decivievous and arcamedeous inventing hydralic time machines Very interesting. they used water to keep time. then they used water to raise indicators to graduated time locations We're living in the best time in the history of mankind.

Thoughts on the Orange Ceramic Diver
This just looks beautiful....putting this on my short listSent from my 16M

who else, other than Clearwater, can service your AP?

Rotor movement question
How freely should the rotor move on a 335?I've noticed that my normal activity (commute via bicycle to and from work ~12min each way) and walking around work all day (estimated to be 10-20K steps/ day), do not seem to be keeping my recently acquired pre-owned Panerai 335 wound. When viewed through the see-through case back the rotor does not swing as freely as several of my other watches.I do have an identical movement 273 but it is in a safe a few states away from me currently so I do not have the ability to compare at the moment, but from memory, the rotor on that watch moves much more freely.The watch is keeping excellent time - not formally tested, but with 2 weeks of daily wear I have not noticed any creep forward or backward in time shown, no matter the state of power reserve.With the current litany of complaints about Panerai Service Center, I'm a bit loathe to send the watch in unless this is a real issue.
