Inside Dubois-Depraz - Empire Of The Watch Movement Module
Fresh movements come in these plastic containersOn an uncommonly warm day in early October I visited a place few watch writers go - the manufacture (well one of them) of Dubois-Depraz. High-up in the mountainous region of Switzerland's famous Vallee de Joux the factory sits among many famous watch brands. Dubois-Depraz is a key cog in the watch industry you know and love, but they don't make watches.Individual gears are meticulously tested for precision and utilityUnlike the many curated tours of watch factories I am subject to, my guide at Dubois-Depraz wasn't a PR guide. He probably just spoke English a bit better than the other people there. The manufacture is operated by two of the three Dubois brothers, and it has been in the family since its inception in 1901. The component maker currently is comprised of three locations, and I got to visit the most important facility - the assembly plant.The air of the facility is very industrial. There is a bit more hustle and bustle here than

Possible Hack for Seiko SNM035 Land Monster?
I just purchased my first Seiko automatic - the SNM035 Land Monster and I really love the watch.I have read that this movement is non hacking but...I discovered that if I unscrewed the setting crown, pulled out the crown to the setting position and then ever so gently exerted a little more pull thenTHE SECOND HAND STOPS!Now this is the first time that I have done this, and I am wondering if maybe I am treading in slightly hazardous waters, I do not want to harm this watch (although as big and beefy as it is, you would think it could take a beating).Opinions?

Can anyone confirm or deny that this is a Longines watch ?Thank you

Used Explorer 114270 vs New 214270 (2016)
Hello all:I haven't posted in ages (and have only posted a time or two). Thanks for all the informative advice to others that I have found useful as well.I've come out of the shadows because I'm now in the market for an Explorer 114270 or 214270, and would like some feedback. I like smaller watches, around 36mm, and have my eye on an 114270, but have begun to wonder how many links the bracelet would need to fit my 7.5 in. wrist. So many used 114270 don't come with all of the links. Should I be looking for one with a minimum of 11 links, 12 links? Also, how about service history? If it's running at COSC standards, should I worry about service history? What should I look out for with a watch that is 15+ years old?Finally, with these concerns in mind, would I just be better off buying a new 214270? Cost aside, does the 39mm version wear all that much bigger? I tried on an Explorer and Datejust 36mm at an AD and really liked the 36mm DJ. But that was a DJ and not an Explorer. So I'm not s
