RSW Outland Automatic Watch Ditches Hands For Disc 'Digilog' Display
One of the boutique yet clever watch makers, RSW (Rama Swiss Watches), brings forth an interesting offering; The RSW Outland Automatic. RSW, whose name and logo font remind me of the shoe store line DSW, has solidified itself among those watch makers inventing modern futurism. Most RSW watches honestly don't make a huge amount of sense to me. It is easy to craft language applauding their unique styling and bold appearance, but I am not entirely convinced the style will be lasting. On the other hand, I certainly have to compliment RSW's ability to intrigue me.The Outland utilizes an idea I actually considered some time ago using revolving disks to indicate the time rather than hands. With out major modification to a standard movement, you can have rotating discs that act as digital rather than analog indicators. If the concept of digital and analog is not clear to you, the idea is that digital shows something through abstract representation, while analog "looks like what it is." Here th

It was “patterned” after the Swiss made Meylan 0-sized movement sometime during late 1907 or early 1908 and the first 297 chatelaine examples were shipped to wholesalers in May and June, 1909. In April of 1917, Hamilton decided to use two of its existing movements for what it termed the “Gent’s Wrist Watch” – a factory cased men’s wristwatch with 17-jewel grade 983 0-size

Formal introductions (picture heavy)
Hey everyone,After a little bit of lurking, I decided to make an account, and after getting pages and pages of replies to the few topics i made and seeing how helpful everyone is I decided that I will be a bit of a regular on these forums. So here is my introduction/photos of current collection as promised!Ive always had a bit of a hard on for watches, but only recently have I decided that I wanted to start collecting them. The reason for this decision was I noticed that I still owned/enjoyed the first watch I ever bought myself when I was 16, so i figured, unlike video games, music, etc..a watch collection can be pretty timeless!That said, my name is Kris, im originally from Poland but currently residing in Canada. Im 24 and finishing up an Accounting degree at my local University. I also work in corporate taxation for the federal government, as the broke student lifestyle...is simply not for me Now on to the good stuff This is the group shot! My lovely girlfriend surprised me with th

Number of Links in Rolex Date
Hello everyone,I finally traded up from my Air King to a 18k gold/steel Rolex Date. The model number is 15203, which I am pretty sure means that the bracelet is Oyster 72190 (someone please correct me if I am wrong) It was produced in the year 2000.Doe anyone know how many links it should come with? I am noticing that it fits a little tighter than my Air King did, and when I look at the bracelet, it looks uneven to me. I am also not sure what counts as a full link?? I have researched online for hours and I have seen a couple different diagrams and lists, and I was just curious if anyone knows the definite number of links that should have come with this watch. I am starting to think that I was shorted 1.Thanks for any help! I can post a pic if that would help!
