Designer Xemex XE 5000 'Sun' Chronograph Watch Available
Xemex is a great brand built on the expertise and designs of industrial designer Ruedi Kulling. He has done a great job of mixing geometric design, minimalism, and ergonomics. What was once a small watch design operation is blossoming as people are appreciating the look of these watches. I recall my first Xemex watch which was an Offroad model. I recall being so pleased at how each element of the watch fit together so nicely in both construction and aesthetic form. I feel this way about most every Xemex watch.This particular model is simply called the Xemex XE 5000, nick named "Sun" due to the charming yellow hue of the dial. The color, is almost a cream yellow, and suits the watch well. Chronograph subdials are done in a soft chalky gray. The combination is far more calming that one might presume. Hands are black and stenciled nicely in white, and the red seconds hand for the chronograph suggests a utilitarian component to this otherwise very pleasant looking watch.The case is particu

Does The Caseback Design,
:):)make any difference to your comfort?I originally thought the wave pattern on my Seamaster's case backswould rub my arm raw considering I wear the watches while wetA LOT. I couldn't have been more wrong, the wave pattern actually seems to keep an air space between the back and your skin so it ends up being extremely comfortable to me.I now find the FLAT case back of my other very well known manufacturer to be the offender, sometimes rubbing to an uncomfortable state while wet for long periods of time...what's your experiences with case backs patterns, and sapphire? do you even notice ?thanks,diver88:):)

Date change technique for an ESA 9162/4 movement
The ESA 9162/4 (and variants) was called the "Rolls-Royce" of tuning fork movements by Rob Berkavicius for good reason. The movements are rugged, highly accurate and used in the 1970's by brands such as Omega, Certina, Movado, Longines, IWC and others. Some manufacturers such as Omega were able to obtain Chronometer certification.The Achilles heel of the movement is the calendar wheel. Constructed from brittle plastic, great care must be exercised in changing the date or damage to the wheel will occur. Having destroyed a couple of date wheels I finally obtained some expert advise from John Schult (Budget Accutron) as to how to properly set the date. He advised..."set the time to 6:00(am or pm) then you can quick-set the day and date. After that, turn back to correct time." So tomorrow my Movado and Omega will get a date advance without destroying anything!the plastic date wheel

Happened before?
In the past, have the more experienced members on the forum seen prices for certain Rolex models go up drastically like they have for the LV? If so, have you seen these prices come down in the future? I ask because I love the look the of the LV, and want to purchase one. However, they are all above MSRP. I am wondering if the members on the forum have seen prices go up before and then eventually come back down, or do these generally tend to stay up. I appreciate any advice.
