Christopher Ward C9 5-Day SS Chronometer Review
When Christopher Ward first announced the C9 5-Day SS Chronometer (SS for small seconds), I was immediately very excited. It took their awesome in-house 5-day chronometer movement, the SH21, modified it to be hand wound and feature small seconds at 6, put it in a modestly sized case, and styled it in the classic aesthetic of Marine Chronometers. In doing so, it combined a bunch of things I really liked into a very aesthetically pleasing package. To make things even more appealing, they gave it a very compelling price point of $1,780. Not cheap, but a solid value for what the watch offers. After all, no one else is offering anything close to a 5-day COSC movement at this price.The watch is also was a bit of an interesting departure for the brand. While they've had the C9 line going for some time, the Marine Chronometer aesthetic is a change, but a very welcome one that makes a lot of sense for the brand. Other C9 watches are almost Art Deco in styling, but this watch speaks to a British

Rolex Explorer II 216570 - Weird COSC characteristics with and without wrist time ???
Hi everyone, I am still enjoying my latest acquisition of my brand new in box Explorer II for the past month but have found a weird characteristic of the watch. When it gets daily wrist time for about 10 - 12 hours, it runs within COSC standards with +1s or +2s daily, which is very good in most context. However, when it is not worn on my wrist the next day or two, it adds +5s or even sometimes +7s daily when placed in my watch box. I don't use any watch winder if anyone is wondering. Because it is new so I am doing some checks on the COSC standards of my watch for the time being by keeping the watch fully wound. Has anyone encountered the same as me and is it something that I should be concerned about ? I can bring it in for regulating if needed since it is still under warranty but is it really necessary ? I can live with it just by wearing it for the time being and bringing it for regulating before expiry of the warranty. Any thoughts from fellow Rolex members here ? Thanks, guys.

Nine Things I Know About Watches
From TimeZone:Nine Things I Know About Watches:1. Free-sprung balances are neither free nor sprung. 2. People able to afford $50k watches aren't any smarter than those who can't - or at least they don't act any smarter in public.3. People who leave their watches "crown down" at night should be observed closely. 4. People who wear their watches to bed aren't having sex on a regular basis. 5. People who are having sex on a regular basis don't wear their watches to bed. 6. People who wear their watches during sex, don't need watch winders. 7. The folks at Rolex laugh about their bracelets. 8. Patek, Lange and Rolex are like golf balls. The same company makes them all. As a matter of fact, Dunlop makes everything except cars. 9. The little doo-hickey that holds the what-cha-ma-call-it in line with the thing-a-ma-jig, is one of the most difficult parts to make in a watch. http://www.timezone.com/library/coma...86910003974066Y2K advice from the same site.Outdated, but funny, nonethe
