Looking for info on a LeRoch watch
I found this really cool watch with a red rubber wrist band. The brand name is LeRoch. It has a black wide face with digital display scrolling across the screen (really cool). I tried looking up information for this watch online. There is absolutely no information nor a website for this particular brand. Does anybody have an idea where to get info.

Sat, Feb 8 Wrist Check
I am starting out with a Seiko this morning.

Seiko DX question
A friend stopped by with a box of mostly junk, however, he did have a couple of curiosities. This is one; it's a Seiko DX, 17 Jewel automatic and it works, sort of.What makes it odd to me is the case and the crystal. The case instead of being just round extends outward to the hidden lug look. The crystal is faceted. Nine faces and I've not seen that on any Seiko before. The crystal also seems to have a metal open plate with markers at the 12-3-6 and 9 positions which cover the lumed markers on the face.The man worked for Xerox in the 70's and says he bought the watch new at a jewelers in the early to mid 70's, sounds about right, and that it came that way and it was why he bought it. He was always breaking watches and this was the heaviest watch he could find. By heavy, he means the crystal must be 10mm thick or at least it feels like it. The numbers on the back are 6106-7589, on the face it's Japan 6106-7939T, the date code is 4N5419.Any ideas if it is stock or modified?

Fake or Replica Rolex watches spotting remarks
Hello, I am new to Rolex watches world, and I am considering buying some Rolex watches pre-owned of course and I am thinking to start off with a date just or submariner I might ending buying both eventually!, and in order to make sure that I am buying the genuine one I am starting this thread to discuss all the possible spotting remarks that one should look for in order to verify whether the watch in hand is genuine or not, for example I read that for all Rolex watches old and new should have the second hand and I mean here the central main second hand reaching up to or cover the second indices, otherwise if it is shorter and failed to do so it will be a sure sign that we are looking at a fake Rolex watch, is this a solid fact or is there any models that have a short second hand that is far away from the second indices by 1 or 2 or 3mm.
