I have a stack of old National Geographics that landed in my lap and while flipping through there is a lot of interesting advertising. Not only watches but ads of all types. I'll start this one out with ads from April 1951. It is clear that rail was the #1 mode of long distance transportation at thi...

Nice watch, personally never bought a watch that isn’t COSC or similar, how accurately do these normally run? don’t really like that it could be +\- 20 seconds per day Per the specs for a Sellita SW200 - On average +-12 s/d Isochronism +-20 s/d Measured over two positions - horizontal dial up and v...

I really like the looks of this one. I think to the casual observer it would be too close to my Super Compressor. Not sure I could get this one past the accountant.

Is it possible we might see the C63 GMT in 36mm? Would that be too crowded a dial to read with a GMT hand squeezed in? I have no reference point for this. If they can do it at 38 (the older MKIII C60 GMTs) then I think it is at least technically possible. The SW330-2 is 25.6 mm across. I have seen ...

Blimey. I just blow on mine and wipe them on my T-shirt. For good macro shots when selling a watch you might want to up your game :lol: My dust reattaches itself regardless of what I do to remove it... I’m appalled by my pics, even more so now that my phone camera has a macro function, and more so ...

I use a Cape Cod detail brush to get into the nooks and crannies. Then a photographers blower is essential. The same kind of thing you use to get dust off of a lens. Like The Rocket

Rule breaking day. Diver on leather check. Leather in the summer check.

If it’s 20mm get on the Tribus site now. They’re selling their superb rubber straps for £30 which is madness. https://tribus-watches.com/collections/straps The Elite is 22mm and the OP is interested in fitted end straps which currently don't exist. I tried the Vanguard straps from Watch Gecko on my...

There aren't any out there that will take the bracelet clasp. There is a company that is in the process of making fitted rubber straps for the C60 but they are buckle and tang. They are sanctioned by CW and I believe got some help with tolerances etc. I don't know if they are planning on making a cl...

That is an amazing image Andrew. Taken with compassion and respect. I hope that when the time comes his passing is peaceful and without incident. I will be thinking of them and you up here in NH.

Like I said, it wouldn't bother me. Seems like something that you can only see if you squint, go 45 degrees off angle from the sun on a full moon etc. I am being intentionally over the top here. In all seriousness, as another poster stated it bothered you enough to post about it so there must be a l...

Some of that falls on CW doesn't it? I mean you see the Rolex crown all over sporting events and everyone knows what that means because of the work Rolex put in to make it that way. I see this as only a single piece in the overall picture and not the sole solution.

^^ ^^ Completely agree with you. I’m typing on a MacBook, it cost me €1500 to buy. It was made in China for probably around $100 dollars. That’s just called modern mass manufacturing. Oh…and profiteering. Des Sorry but this is just completely wrong. The componentry alone in a Macbook is well over $...
