RSW Diving Tool Camo Limited Edition Watch
I have no idea what manner of space robot warrior fighter is supposed to wear a watch like this. Now as a limited edition model with two camouflage dial options, the RSW Diving Tool watch gets even more distinct. I originally wrote about the RSW Diving Tool watch here when it first came out.A bit larger than the Bell & Ross BR01, this piece takes the military square style watch a few steps further and offers something that would seem pretty suitable as a prop in Avatar. The steel case is 46.2mm wide (16.45mm thick) and offered in a brushed finish or in PVD black. The dial background colors include camo "woodland" and camo "oceanic" in the newer pixelated camouflage style. It makes for a fun and cartoony look, especially for those who want to look at their watches and smirk.As a diving watch the piece has a nice looking dial with very legible hands. I love that massive minute hand and the hour markers, those are clever in their design in my opinion. The case has a rotating bezel and

Gratuitous Movement Shot...
Okay, so this should be in the Swiss forum.My watchmaker just sent this pic of the wife's Longines all reassembled and just being adjusted at the moment. He remarked on how good the condition of the movement is considering its age. Speaking of which, I think you can get the manufacture date if you email Longines with the serial number? Is this right - and anyone have a quick link to the address? (otherwise I'll actually have to do some work and search for it myself...)

My Custom Breitling Bentley. What Do You Think?
hey guys,I just wanted to pop in and share some photo's with you guys and see what everyone thinks?I had this 5.2 carat bezel made for my breitling bentley 6.75the thing that is so cool about this bezel is I had it made to function and look like the factory bezel. This bezel still spins the inner bezel.. it fully functions and has the same notches on the out side like the original.. As most aftermarket bezels are presure fitted. this one is attached to the watch by 4 screws just like the original bezel.The only question I had for you guys if anyone know this i hope? This bezel was die struck not cast.. which is a better way to make bezels is by die struck so i'm told.My question is, I was told due to stainless steel being to hard to work with to make a bezel that functions like this one, they made it out of plad and mixed alloys like polladium silver nickel and a little stainless steel. I have never heard of anything like that before. I guess they just needed a softer metal to work wit

Po 42"
Hi all I recently bought my first mechanical watch. I chose the Planet Ocean Professional 42. Yesterday i noticed that, when I gently shake my watch, i can hear the rotor move inside. Is that normal?? It does not sound like long lasting finely tuned mechanics.

Incase it helps with the usual 5711/15202 decision
I wrote to ap and patek, asking about how their watch would hold up in comparison to a rolex for persuits such as gym, swim, dive, saunas and steam rooms. I explained being experienced with omega and rolex yet wanting something more special, just that I was concerned about if they need babying....Patek saidWith regards to the 5711/1A this piece was initially produced as a divers watch, it is water resistant to 120m. In the realm of divers watches, such as the Rolex or Omega equivalent, the nautilus is more than a match for them. with its screw down crown and porthole design it is has been engineered to be used in water, and other testing environments. I hope you enjoy the 5711 when you receive it and you will find with timepiece very comfortable and light when swimming.Ap said the Royal Oak ref. #15202 has a water resistance of 50m. The timepiece is resistant to splashes (when showering or washing your hands), or surface immersion (swimming).However, please remember that temperature
