Wowers!!

 

That thing is a pocket watch for your wrist!

I admire the micro-engineering and the amazing finish of the piece, but it's not my cup of tea.

For the same money I'd by a Daniel's watch instead, that to me is watchmaking in it's purest and most elegant.

 

PS. From what I've read it's a 7-10yrs wait on new RW Smith.

I just ordered 2 but had to cancel...they were not expensive enough and the built in toilet didn't work well! I figure I'd look at the Daniels better! :)

 

Lawson, we can order a Daniels between the both of us and take turns wearing it! How about that!!! :)

 

 

On a more serious note, I believe they are trying to find a design that is trendy and at the same time successful...something like the Oyster from Rolex that has such a large acceptance and other manufacturers tend to "homage"....

      Welcome, Simeon! I'm into Soviet watches too (not the political system, and yes, I am able to make the distinction, unlike some). They offer amazing value for money. I like your "Big Zero" profile image. It's a true classic and I have one of those myself. I noticed that the hands aren't the original. Not that it matters a lot but here's an interesting article about the Big Zero if you haven't already seen it.

      Need some crystal replacement advice

      I was thinking will the gasket stretch at all to match the desired size.  Did i also deduce that the original gasket is thinner (0 .5mm ) than the cousins gasket ( 0.8mm )  could that just be an effect of you measuring the case for the gasket size  H  ?

      Chinese clone demagnetizers

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      if we look at and understand why steel becomes magnetised and unmagnetised then its possible to work out why some devices are better than others. Simpy it is a parallel alignment of atoms , electrons within a material caused by external magnetic fields. Different magnetic fields cause different alignments and non alignment of atoms. Fields by AC currents are changing atom direction approx 50 times per second ( 50hz ). As a material is drawn away from a demagging device the field is becoming progressively weaker while also changing the material's atom direction having the effect of returning their random directions ( demagnetising ) . To improve on this demagetising effect, try changing the material's orientation as it is drawn away.  Fields caused by DC currents have the most permanent magnetising effect as the currect is flowing one way only. A good demagger would produce random magnet fields and disorientation of the material's atoms.
