There are different companies that do DLC coating and mod rolexes and other brands. Recall seeing such a shop at Mandrian Orchard

70-day power reserve :eek:

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...senfine-concept-watch-escapement-how-it-works

real and practical innovation. excellent from parmigiani.

The new Senfine escapement does away with the lever escapement's mechanics for something much more efficient. There's still a wheel, but it swings only 16 degrees instead of 300—and does so 16 times per second instead of four. The increase in frequency means you get much higher accuracy than with a traditional balance, and the low amplitude conserves power (there's a lot less motion happening overall, meaning less power is used). To make this work, the little fork (usually made of metal and cut rubies) is replaced by silicon blades. The result is a mechanical movement that, according to the company, is capable of getting that incredible 70-day potential out of the same type of mechanical spring that gives a typical watch 48 to 72 hours of juice.

The mechanism is still in the development phase, and there are a few kinks that need to be worked out—namely, shock resistance and temperature variability—before it can be truly industrialized.

The position of the date in the window is not centered. I remember a watch video review said once that Rolex always makes the number centered.

sexperts plz verify

Just for information... rolex stealth is by Project X in UK

In their website, I don't see a stealth submariner with date which has the red coloured word "STEALTH"
