Stylin' Xemex XE 5000 Automatic Watch With Perlage Polished Metal Face
This is one of the rarest Xemex XE 5000 watches out there, and perhaps the most interesting. This is Xemex trying to be even more avant garde and succeeding. The XE 5000 line of Xemex watches was intended to be a higher budget Offroad, and offered complex chronograph and standard three hand models in various flavors.This particular XE 5000 model features a complex perlage polishing on the steel face. This type of polishing has been common on high-end machinery for well over 100 years, and in some realms is a lost art. While this type of polishing is no longer technically needed, it still looks pretty cool. You'll see this on the dashboards of some high-end sports cars like the Spyker as well. Best of all, despite the impressive dial, it does not distract the view of the hands and hour indicators that are surprisingly conspicuous. A testament to the talent of Mr. Kulling of Xemex.

Where can I find info about the evolution of crystals?
On modern watches I take the type of crystal to be one indicator of quality. When looking at vintage watches, however, I don't have any idea what is considered a good quality crystal. I wouldn't consider buying a modern watch for more than a minimal price if it had a glass, plastic, acrylic, etc. crystal. However, I have no idea when mineral and sapphire crystals started being used. For that matter, I'm not really sure what a sapphire crystal is, other than that it's more difficult to scratch.

Do You Find Your Speedy Is Difficult To Wind..
I love my Speedy....but the crown is set so deep in the crown guards that it seems the only way to wind it is by the very sharp edges at the top..I'm not a large person; 6', 190lbs...and my fingers are average for my size....but it just seems that the design leaves something to be desired...Only the edge sticking out to be able to get a decent grip on seems like a waste of a very well designed crown...I mean, why have a large crown if you can only use the very end of it.. It would be perfect if it were screw down...then it would pop out for a full grip.Anybody else notice this ??
