Well, the ProV1 has only been around since 2000 or so. You can generally tell what year they are by what is printed on the side. All of the modern ones have text inside a couple of arrows.

This is the current look:

Can we post questions here about the process? Yes, you can. They may not be answered as the design group have agreed there are some things we won’t go into, mainly about the rejected design . But feel free to ask. :) Regarding the emphasized text, understood! That makes total sense. I’ll start with...

With the 2023 Forum LE on the horizon this one will probably stay in the day dream column for some time. The moon phase talk in another thread got me thinking about this one again though. So many good looking models from Longines are overlooked. https://www.longines.com/media/catalog/product/cache/8...

A little color for me today as well.

Hold the watch dial up but at a 45 degree angle away from you. Just so that the dial isn't straight up and down or entirely flat. Give it a wind. It will be okay to apply a little force. If you feel the rotor spin like a mad man then you having a reversing wheel problem (called spinning rotor syndro...

^^^^I am following along these lines too. Everyone brings something to the mix. I am a constant user of the unread post quick link and try to read everything of interest. If I can contribute and help out all the better! Some contribute their photos. Some their rabbit hole starting posts, some though...

Downer's Rules are worth the time to read as well. They are legendary on the forum.

Ouch! That is never good.

Yeah... I was worried there might be a step 5! :lol: I see the Super Compressor in your list there - I really like that watch too - you happy with it? Love the Super Compressor. CW hit a homerun with that one. Wears really well and looks great on almost any strap. I also like the fact that it is a ...

Here are two posts from someone who has the original watches. https://www.christopherwardforum.com/other-brands/topic59043.html https://www.christopherwardforum.com/other-brands/topic59048.html I'm thinking that the Dartmouth MkII could be it for the Aquitaine field watch. So the the teaser sketche...

It's just my personal opinion but I think Rolex will mandate a pricing structure for their pre-owned watches that is lower than the current crazy grey market prices. Each watch by year will have a range that can be charged depending on condition. Similar to CPO cars or certified coins. As the syste...

All I can say is CWs in a collection procreate like rabbits. I bought my first one and looked down and my signature and there is 5 (soon to be 6). There are soooo many good ones!

Your outline seems sound to me except for step 5: Start saving for step 2 and 3 again.

First some general info: You can't overwind an automatic. There is usually very little difference between the resistance felt when winding from 0 reserve to when it is topped up. Automatics are designed so that the mainspring slips when it is fully wound. You can sometimes hear and feel the click. M...

I've been thinking about this since the launch and can't figure out what Rolex itself is getting out of this. If Rolex are funding it can’t they take a cut of the profits? AD’s having to pay Rolex service centre for the work carried out as well? I would bet they do but at a very reduced rate. Proba...
