Love the new blue P.O. that was unveiled at Basel this week. I reckon Daniel Craig will be wearing that on the next 007.

 

Without a doubt. With a black band though.

 

Thinking of getting a Bulova.

 

I went to our local Omega AD to try this on for you and they didn't have one yet. Sorry. It's still a great looking piece.

 

I'm working on a possible Breitling Blacksteel Chrono Avenger trade for my Chopard. I really love this watch, and it will fit me much better than the Chopard would, if I ever decided to wear it.

 

Just ordered this.

 

"The new complication here in the Richard Mille RM 030 is quizzical to me. The idea is that the automatic rotor detaches from winding the mainspring is full. The mainspring has a total power reserve of 50 hours, when it gets down to 40 hours, the rotor reattaches thanks to a type of clutch."





"Richard Mille has now developed the RM 035, an evolution of the RM 027 with a movement weighing just 4,3 grams.

The manual winding, skeletonized caliber RMUL1 beating at the heart of the RM 035 Rafael Nadal represents the first manual winding movement in the Richard Mille collection to have ChronofiableŽ certification."

The ChronofiableŽ test, developed at the beginning of the 80’s by the CCF SA (centre de contrôle de la fiabilité de l’horlogerie Suisse, taken over in 1985 by the Laboratoire Dubois SA), was devised to expose timepieces to an accelerated ageing test simulating over 21 days, the equivalent of 6 months effective wear. This is achieved by the execution of a long series of tests such as the initial monitoring of the movement functions, an additional rate, the amplitude test taken at two temperature levels (0°C and 50°C), the monitoring of the power reserve and the winding velocity. Included in this artificial ageing cycle test are extensive linear and angular accelerations as well as some 20,000 shocks ranging from 250 to 5500 m/s2 (9.81 m/s2 = 1g). The last step is a final monitoring phase applying the same elements than during the initial monitoring.
Conditions like these attest unequivocally to the ability of the RMUL1 caliber to withstand an array of extreme conditions without experiencing any effects on its performance.

 

RM 35
Game over.

 

I really like the new Rolex Explorer II with the black face.

 

I do too. I just wish that it was 44mm or larger.
