Orbita Casetta Gets Rotorwind System
Orbita’s Casetta watchwinder is now available with their patented Rotorwind System. The Casetta is available as a free-standing module or housed in a Brazilian Rosewood case with a high-gloss lacquer finish. The suede-lined cases are fitted with gold-plated quadrant hinges and a beveled glass viewing window. The modules can be stacked vertically or placed side by side for multiple watches, and they require no external power – lithium batteries provide a guaranteed battery life of 5 years.The module itself is covered in Camel or Black synthetic suede and finished with a brushed stainless steel rear panel. Inside a Swiss-designed ironless core motor initiates the oscillating winding action of the Rotorwind System, which is entirely self-regulating. Every 10 minutes throughout the day, the built-in microprocessor activates the servo motor causing the watch to swing back and forth for several oscillations, as if it were being worn on the wrist.The Casetta Module measures 5-1/8&

A few questions for you DD / DJ Vintage Experts
OK, I had a couple questions on the vintage DD & DJ's, and I'm hoping someone can help me. 1)What the serial number range is for a 1970 Day Date?2) What is the serial number range for a 1970 Date Just?3) I believe these had plexi crystals and the sapphires didn't get introduced until late 70's/ early 80's. Are there aftermarket sapphires that would fit these models? I realize it wouldn't be original, but I just don't care for the vintage plexi crystals as much as a sapphire.4) I'm looking to get The Best of Time. Is this the type of information I'll find in there?Thanks for any help everyone!!!!

Beware The Swamp...
Somebody on the Swamp is selling what purports to be a Lord Elgin 'White Knight', which the seller claims is even rarer than the 'Golden Knight' (the real name of which is 'El Dorado'). It may not be what it seems. The 'golf ball' dial (textured like the Black Knight and the El Dorado) is marked with 'Lord Elgin' and a star. The serial number on the movement dates it to 1952, by which time Elgin watches carried the 'dp' logo, denoting the Durapower mainspring. I did a quick check of the Knights that have been on Ebay recently, and they all carry that 'dp'.The other thing wrong is that the markings in the sub seconds dial are WITHIN the sunken sub seconds dial, whereas on the Black Knight and El Dorado, they're OUTSIDE it.I suspect this watch might simply be a bad redial of a Black Knight or El Dorado, done in white with the wrong markings.

Help needed with authentication
***mods please delete of this is not within the forum guidelines***Hi all,I am an active member on the Rolex and omega threads but have never been in the AP section. Although I love the way APs look I have never really though of getting one. However, recently I have been keeping an open eye and trying to educate myself about them.Coincidentally, yesterday an acquaintance contacted me knowing I am familiar with local and online sellers and was interested in selling his AP and wanted to make sure he would get a good deal as he is not well educated about the second hand/pre owned market. Honestly, neither am I when it comes to APs but I offered to help. I checked prices on watchrecon and Chrono 24 and kind of have an idea what the watch could fetch in its condition. After a discussion with my wife, I am thinking of purchasing it myself. However, due to the fact that I have no experience in this brand and always purchase my watches from boutiques or trusted sellers here, I would like confi
