The Evolution of Longines' Automatic calibers

The equipment had to be made to produce the parts. However, funding was very short at the time and their account for tools was dry by the end of 1945. Longines saw the mistakes made with self-winding ebauches by companies like Omega which sped their learning curve. They wanted to produce a bi-directional winding system that had become more sought after by the consumer of the time, but needed to consider variables like the winding efficiency and isochronism issues caused by the spinning rotor. Finally, 6 prototypes were given to employees of differ

15400 vs 15300 Size
Hi everyone. I know there has already been plenty of discussion comparing these two models, but I wanted some opinions specifically about size. Last year I liquidated my collection to buy the 15400. I absolutely loved it but ultimately sold it because I didnt like it as my only watch. Now I am in a position where I can afford to have the AP as well as my sub C which I think will be a perfect combo. The one thing that is holding me back is this nagging feeling in my head that the 41mm royal oak may be just a bit too big in me. My wrist is about 7 inches and when I owned the watch I was a bit concerned about the size but it didnt concern me that much. Now with the chance to do it again I am wondering if I should hold out for a 15300 which may be a better size for me. The problem is they are impossible to find and I will likely never be able to try it on before buying. I was hoping to get a few opinions on the size of it in my wrist before I make my decision. Thanks for reading!uploadfrom

Display Backs on Divers
Any issues with the display backs on the Planet Ocean? I'm actully thinking about the 300 Master, but it hasn't been out as long. I've never understood the desire to add another point of failure with regards to case integrity, but perhaps it's unjustified. How do you think divers with display backs will hold up in 20 years or so? Do they re-seal the crystal when the watch is serviced? Jeremy
