Should we call Corum the manufacture with five roofs?
Though the definition is often stretched and the term is bandied about tirelessly in marketing, we tend to think of a manufacture as a watch company that makes its watches under one roof. Should we call Corum the manufacture with five roofs? I, for one, prefer their own metaphor of the hand.

Orbits Sparta One and Seiko Kinetic?
Anyone know if Orbita Sparta One winders "officially" work with Seiko Kinetics?I can tell you mine do. I have two Kinetics on these winders and when set to swing every ten minutes they actually increase the charge. Going to try every 15 minutes and see what happens.If they officially work per Orbita, this seems like a great selling point. From what I've read most winders won't keep a Kinetic charged???

sometimes you know you've made a good choice
Last week I decided I was going to sell my Panerai 605. I had had plenty of admirers and people saying, 'if you ever get tired of it'...The 605 was a beautiful piece but it was just a bit too big and chunky for my wrist. The 47mm 1950 is just too big for me. The 1940s however is beautiful.Annnnyway, I contacted a member whom I have dealt with here before, on Friday, to ask if he was interested. He was and he suggested he would trade this peice.We met the next day, both our eyes lit up and the trade was done.When you both feel you've traded well that's part of the joy of this hobby of hours!The closer I look at this watch the more fascinating it becomes.Now that i have Panerai,Rolex, AP and IWC I am having a problem in choosing which watch to wear!
