Rolex: After several years working for the crown

I can tell you the swag bag does not open very often. When it does there are some pretty nice goodies to be had. Count yourself lucky if you score a cap, I've not seen one but I'm sure there nice as the quality of their gifts are the best I've seen. Good luck, Wilkie

WatchTech: No worries

As a watchmaker and mountain biker/motorcycle rider there are no issues to worry about, your wrist dampens most of the vibration. The only watches I've damaged from riding involved crashing. Cheers, Wilkie

WatchTech: I agree

I can comment as a watchmaker but not a watch historian. Timing is an art and the brands are only as good as their watchmakers.

WatchTech: Timing positions

The timing positions are always oriented as if you are looking at the dial. The positions have everything to do with wearing habits and not reading the time. The positions that have the most affect throughout the day depend on wrist position. Someone standing most of the day will likely be in crown

WatchTech: Timing

Andrew, Your on the right track. The five positions used to time a modern wristwatch, say Rolex/Omega are as follows. Dial up, dial down, crown down, crown left, crown up. Three position watches are timed in dial up, crown down and crown left. The results are averaged and the target is +3.0 sec/day.
