Jellandross Supersonic June 21, 2016 Share June 21, 2016 (edited) Anyone into big watch? Currently i got a 54mm uboat, thinking of adding another. However, I do have some criteria on watches. Must be mineral, sapphire face. Bigger than 54mm. Let me know if there's other makes that fit the bill. Thanks, I'm a rookie wah 54mm... you must have a very prosperous wrist like many of our esteemed participants in this thread. if you like uboat style then you may be interested in bell & ross watches as they got some big-ass sizes too. price range kinda start at uboat level and upwards to > $10K for those more complex ones.

Throttle2 Supersonic June 23, 2016 Author Share June 23, 2016 (edited) just a strap... so X IMG_2637.PNG Becos its solid gold and becos its Rolex.Buy from RSC cost $13,500 + gst But president bracelets can last a long time if you dont wear them loosely. They can also be fully restored to new condition for $2000 by watchmaker in HK. Plse take note that 18238 bracelets are different from 18038 bracelets which are different from 1803 bracelet. In case you buy already and find out too late that they dont fit. The difference is becos of the case thickness difference in the three models.

lausai88 Hypersonic June 26, 2016 Share June 26, 2016 Now i know why my old daydate has this marking “T Swiss T” in the dial The Evolution of Rolex Luminous Some of the very first applications of luminous paint (lume) can be found on military pocket watches from the early 1900’s. Initially, luminescence was achieved by using a radioactive material called radium, which was first discovered by Marie Slodowska-Curie and her husband, Pierre Curie in 1898. Radium was combined with zinc sulfide, which allowed for a brighter glow than pure radium alone. Rolex Lume The first lume used by Rolex was radium-based, and radium remained the standard for all Rolex lume until 1963, when growing health concerns forced a shift away from it. During the early 1900’s, the effects of radiation exposure were not well understood, and radium was frequently marketed as a magical “cure-all” intended for human ingestion. Rolex Lume Even after radium exposure was proven to be harmful in the late 1920’s, it was still used (in moderation) for several more decades. Due to the dangers, factories implemented safety protocols, and radium continued to be used on watch dials until the early 1960’s. Rolex Submariner Lume Night Although there were safety measures in place, growing health concerns pushed Rolex to abandon radium altogether in 1963. With radium ruled unsafe, tritium became the luminous material of choice for Rolex. Just like radium, tritium was also radioactive; however it came with a much lower level of radiation, and a much shorter half-life. Rolex Submariner Lume During Day While tritium was exponentially safer than radium, it only had a half-life of twelve years. This meant that after just a few decades, only a tiny fraction of the initial luminescence would remain. Additionally, as tritium ages, the color changes, which creates interesting patinas on the luminous markers of older Rolex watches. Despite being substantially safer than radium, tritium was still radioactive, and as a result, many watchmakers of the time (Rolex included) marked the dials with an indication of the level of radioactivity emitted by the watch, such as “T Swiss T”, or “Swiss T<25”. Rolex Lume Shot at Night Tritium was far from perfect, which lead Rolex to search for a better alternative. The answer came during the 1990’s, from a Japanese company called Nemoto and Co., which specialized in producing luminous paint. Their new compound, called Luminova, was photoluminescent rather than radioactive, making it entirely harmless. Additionally, it was not prone to fading or discoloration like its predecessor, tritium. Luminova was far superior to tritium, and by 1998, Rolex began using it on their watches. By 2000, Rolex had switched to Super Luminova, a slightly improved version of Luminova that was sold through a different supplier. Lume Shot of a Rolex Watch In 2008, Rolex announced a switch from Super Luminova to its own proprietary compound, Chromalight. Like its predecessor, Chromalight is photoluminescent and entirely safe; however, Chromalight differs in that it glows blue rather than green. Rolex states that Chromalight starts glowing more quickly and lasts longer than Super Luminova, and that the blue color makes it easier to for human eyes to read in dim lighting. Beyond that, Chromalight gives modern Rolex a distinctive appearance in dark settings, and brings yet another aspect of their production process in-house. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic June 26, 2016 Author Share June 26, 2016 (edited) Nice read posted, L88. While luminova or superluminova is supposedly "superior" Its the watches with radium or tritium that commands much higher prices and demand.... So its Tritium for me anytime.

lausai88 Hypersonic June 26, 2016 Share June 26, 2016 Yes bro T2, based on your collections, i think those are the models that demand higher prices. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
