It is a MYTH no longer, the BEHEMOTH Size 12s American Trench Watch Does EXIST ! ! !
Hey guys ! ! !There has been speculation for many years when it comes to the BEHEMOTH size 12s American Trench Watches...........................where any of them actually made ? ? ?We can now put all speculation to rest................................they do in FACT exist ! ! ! ! But, it's not an Elgin, Waltham or Illinois that has been located, it's a CROWN.Sold under the name "Crown Watch Company" but was actually made by the New York Standard Watch Company in New Jersey.The New York Standard Watch Company was owned by the Keystone Watch Case Company who also owned the Philadelphia Watch Case Company and the case maker Bates & Bacon (B&B).Yes, this will get a bit confusing, I had to re-read all of my research several times to get a grip on all of this.During the Great War era Keystone was was constantly being sued by the United States government and other watch case manufacturers.A lot of these suits had to do with the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, illegal monopolies and such.Keys

Paranoid about my 2 week Royal Oak Chronograph.
Hello my fellow watch lovers, I am asking for your help in a bid to end my paranoia. As you may know, there is a danger zone of when NOT to change the date using the quick-set date function. Usually for most watches it is 8PM-3AM. However, for the 26331ST Royal Oak Chronograph with the calibre 2385 movement, it is 6PM-1AM. Anyways, I was being careless about 2 days ago and was too busy admiring my new watch. I unscrewed my crown and used my quick-set date function to advance the date by 3 or 4 days forward before realizing that the I was using my quick-set date function whilst my watch was displaying 9PM and not 9AM. When I realized my careless mistake, my heart sunk and I pretty much contemplated suicide. I know that if you advance the date whilst in the danger zone, you risk damaging your movement. After my mistake, I have been extremely paranoid that I ruined my movement so much so that I started to scrutinize every single detail of the watch since, especially the date function. Dur

My Patek Philippe
Can anyone tell me anything about this beutiful Patek that must date back to the 30's or 40's. It was my Grandfathers watch that has been handed down to me. I think it is awesome. I would appreciate any information that anyone has on it. Thanks
