Introducing: The Urwerk UR-106 Lotus
Urwerk has just released their first ladies watch, the UR-106 Lotus. The new Lotus watch exemplifies that same creativity and complexity that Urwerk has been known for since its founding in 1997. This release comes on the heels of Urwerk's recent discussion about the women who influenced them and the creation of their avant-garde brand (see Urwewrk's series on "Remarkable Women"). The Lotus embraces the Urwerk aesthetic whole-heartedly and uses the brand's signature satellite hours in a new way. Three satellite hours are constructed in a tri-part carrousel similar to a flower. Each satellite is complete with four hour numerals that sweep along the minutes scale. Additionally, there is a moon-phase, made of lapis lazuli, which adds to the complexity of the watch. The UR-106 Lotus comes in two versions: a titanium version with diamonds on the bezel, crown, and buckle; and a black PVC-coated titanium and steel version set with black diamonds.

First Patek Post - Question for 5711 Owners
Hey guys! This is my first post ever I believe in this section of the forum and I am excited to say I'm looking to add my first Patek to my collection! I have wanted a blue dial 5711 since I started collecting and I am finally in a position to make it happen. Unfortunately as you all know its not an easy watch to find at retail price. So I am in the process of reaching out to every AD in the country to try and find the shortest waitlist. After my first day of trying i got on 5 wait lists and still waiting to hear back from a few places I contacted. I am hopeful that the wait wont be too long but who knows . So my question to all the 5711 owners is: When did you get your watch and how long was your wait time for it? Thanks everyone and I'm excited to join this side of the community

Bearings or bushings, the cutting edge...
The rotor on Rolex movements, since too long, have spun on a bushing. More recently, a few movements are being provided ball bearings for the rotor. In particular, the 40mm Day Date, the Daytona, Sky Dweller, 43mm Sea Dweller, etc. Please note that the 36mm Day Date, for instance, still carries a bushing.Indeed, when I picked up my new GMT blnr yesterday, I was left with a certain feeling of je ne sais quoi because the GMT still runs on a lowly bushing. Why is it so difficult for Rolex to stand up for their customers and provide them with a better product if they can...??? I believe that Rolex is a great company that upholds the highest standards of quality and respect for their products. I have been told by industry insiders how persnickety and demanding the Rolex people are when it comes to their watches. So why not upgrade their movements when they can...??? Come on, Rolex.
