RGM Marks 20 Years With Third In-House Caliber
RGM, the pioneering Pennsylvania-based watch brand founded in 1992 by Roland G. Murphy, turns 20 years old in 2012. Murphy commemorated the anniversary in the manner he knows best: by developing his brand’s third in-house mechanical movement, called Caliber 20, and outfitting it in a new watch that RGM introduced at January’s Geneva Time Exhibition.Caliber 20 joins its predecessors, RGM’s groundbreaking Caliber 801 in 2008 and the MM2 Pennsylvania Tourbillon movement in 2010, in the exclusive fraternity of “Made in the U.S.A.” watch movements manufactured entirely at Murphy’s small atelier in Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County, a traditional center of watchmaking since the 1800s.Fittingly, the watch’s movement incorporates a distinctly American technological touch, one nearly lost to antiquity: the so-called “motor barrel” system. An American invention, the motor barrel (illustration below the watch photos) was designed to reduce

And is the perfec

An interesting article about the SD vs. the SDDS
RJ from the blog site Fratello Watches posted an article with some interesting observations about the Sea-Dweller vs. the Deep Sea Sea-Dweller - you can read by clicking here. For me personally, I'm with him 100% - the watch just doesn't appeal to me. I respect it for it's engineering achievements, but beyond that, I don't find it attractive, nor is it practical for me to wear with my typical wardrobe. Here's a few shots of the SDDS I tried on in Tokyo:Where I don't necessarily agree with RJ is the value outlook for the watch. Yes, in the short term, the 16600 seems to be enjoying a bit of a bump. But consider how many fewer SDDS there are out there and how they're selling relative to the rest of the Rolex line. I wonder - do we have another future Cosmograph on our hands? Back in the 60's, dealers practically couldn't give the Cosmograph away - no one cared for them at all. So they sold in extremely small quantities, and well....the rest is history.What do you think?
