Rau-Tech Custom Rolex And Other Watches Colorful Coatings
Rau-Tech is a German company that exists in the boutique world of high-end watch customization. This microcosm of horology is mostly proliferated by custom Rolex watches, which are becoming quite popular. One of the most common questions I have been getting from people all over the world is, "when will Rolex start to offer black colored watches?" They seem to feel that with all the custom Rolex watches out there with black cases, there seems to be a less-than-insignificant demand. That may be so, but I don't think that Rolex is going to start offering black-coated Submariners or other models now or anytime in the near future.Why? Well, think about it. Rolex is first and foremost about respecting their past. The first question they will ask themselves is, "have we offered back-colored watches in the past?" If the answer is "no," then they will move on. Of course, one can retort with the fact that in the past there were no particularly good ways of durably coating metal watches in black

Battery Clamp Screw for ETA 976.001
My most recent attempt to replace the battery for an ETA 976.001 movement and the screw that holds down the battery clamp will not tighten When I look at the screw, it looks shorter than I recall and in fact I don't know if I even see threads. Seems it may have broken off but I cannot detect any remnants inside the hole.Any ideas? thx.

Would you ever pay more for a band than you paid for the watch itself?
You guys seem to be the most adamant when it comes to watches so I ask you this.Have you ever, or would you ever pay more for a band than you did for the watch itself?I just bought the Seiko SND219 white/black chrono and I think it would look much better on a black exotic leather band of some sort. Just trying to get some ideas. Am I crazy? or do I really like watches?I got such a good deal on he SND219 that a nice band would almost be twice as much as I paid for the watch. But I think looking at it, a normal person, (other than you guys) couldn't tell.

Aqua Terra Annual Calendar
I just had a thought about the Aqua Terra Annual Calendar.Would the watch look more balanced if Omega had kept the Date Aperture the same as the non annual calendar Aqua Terra and have the Month Aperture at the 9 o'clock position.what do other Forum Members think?I do not have the Aqua Terra but do have the Hour Vision non annual Vision.
