Anyone notice that the second hand has no

Jan 30, 2008,20:10 PM
 

"tail" on the Concave dial Mecha watch? I have not seen one like this before as most of the Swiss watches have "tail" so as to "balance" the hand as it moves round the watch.

 Anyone has seen other similar watches and just how significant is this design without tail? What is the impact and is it difficult to acheive balancing without the "tail"?

Thank you.

Well since a lot has been written about the Discus, I won't write no more and just present you with these pictures. One thing that has to be noted is that after I bought the Discus an unusual phenomena has happened to me: I passed on Calabrese and Schaeur...  

Seems the forum has a bit of Discus fever...

I've only been away for 6 weeks and in that time quite a few of the members have been afflicted. I've yet to see one - but I'm sure Bill will oblige.

I think Bill has half the production

Cen, your pics are not bad .... take more you will get it. Nice Concave dial piece...ok waiting to see. The red cushions looked good with the full-black watches....did you intentionally match it that way? Kong

No way

I used a basic point and shoot camera with no macro lens. I just resisting the urge to buy a good camera, cause i won't take it for travelling (too bulky) and only use it to take pictures of my watches. So another accessory for the watch? I better use the... 

WoW!
