Rpaige Crash Of ¡¯29 Watch Designed By Mark Carson
?? ? Sponsored postRichard Paige, of Rpaige Watch Co., and Mark Carson have teamed up to create the wildly art deco Rpaige "Crash of '29" watch which is being funded on Kickstarter. Mark designed the case, dial, and hands, and the watches will feature the restored vintage or antique American pocket watch movements which Richard uses in his Rpaige watches.The Genesis Of The Project:Richard Paige: After the successful introduction of my Duo-Face reversible watch, where Mark designed the case for me, I challenged him to come up with something unexpected. I really wanted to be surprised.Mark Carson: I know that Richard is a huge art deco fan and that his Wrocket line of wrist watches have art deco detailing. I¡¯d done the design for an art deco watch a couple of years back but it was dimensioned around a smaller movement.RP: I knew that whatever Mark came up with, it had to use the vintage American pocket watch movements that I lovingly restore and craft into my Rpaige watches.Rpaige Crash

A Public Service Announcement
You may notice the stickies have changed at the top of the forum. The Government Time Check and ETA Chart have not disappeared; they've been added to the Horology 101 sticky under the MISCELLANEOUS category. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Thank you!

Stopped in for service
I've recently noticed that my watch is losing some seconds everyday. I decide to stop in the Patek service center in Rockerfeller plaza. After a quick service I was told my watch falls into specs. The service advisor recommended when I'm not wearing the watch to keep it crown up. Anyhow attached is the printout of the the service. Any further information about the print out would help. I understand the diagrams on the left are crown postion but what do the other numbers mean. Thanks everyone.

PAM 351 tobacco dial with brown strap shots?
Just got my 351 recently and looking to add a brown strap(s). Not sure of which brown color to get so I'd like to see some fellow member shots of the tobacco dial with brown strap combinations!
