Rolex To Create New Shock-Resistant Oyster Watch Case?
Rolex applies for a patent on a new case-up method that decreases shock to the movement by 60%.Rolex could be planning to release watches with improved shock-resistance very soon. A recent United States patent application by Rolex details a new type of component used in their Rolex Oyster cases that is said to reduce shock to the movement by up to 60%. The patent covers the casing of a watch and the use of a two special rings to secure the movement versus more traditional techniques like using screws or a bracket. The solution is both useful and very simple, and we believe it will show up in Rolex watches soon.Patent application # 20130286798 begins by giving background on the invention as a new means of casing-up movements into watch cases in a way that results in fewer broken parts from a shock and reduces the shock to the movement by 60%.

First Patek Philippe
Hello All, I am considering my first Patek Philippe after loving watches since the late 90s. I have done the Rolex thing, the Omega thing and finally the Breguet thing. I am wanting a Patek to see me through the next 20 years. I have sold off most of my collection to get the 1 watch which keeps me happy - the exit watch. I am a huge fan of the following models and I am keen to here the opinion of the pros here. The models I really love are the Patek 5107, 5127, 5146, 5035 and the new 5227. I think money will make me a used Patek buyer. I remember the first Patek I ever saw in the late 90s.... a magical 5035 in Yellow Gold. That was a stunner! I then remember a friend getting a 5107 in the spring of 2003. What a watch. I have seen a fantastic YouTube video on the 5146 by Michael D' Silva. What a classy watch. What would you recommend for me - needs to be a daily wearer. Thank you so much.
