Well, after wearing my 1st Rolex this week

my son suggested to pull our the 'player' cousin from the safe

so this has been on my wrist for the last couple of days.....

needless to say, the Croum is my son's 'best of all' watches

Does the roullete wheel have a ball ( looks like it at 24) that spins around?

GerardoG · 9 May 2007, 02:34 PM

Yes, the seconds hand is the white ball....on 2nd pic you can see it at 17

Thank you. I got the Corum when I decided to 'expand' the collection beyond Rolex. I had several Rolex timepieces and I started into other brands....Corum, Cartier, IWC, Panerai....it is fun to have choices; plus my son loves it!

I agree about the choices. It's just that that particular Corum would not have been one of mine. But, hey, if your son loves it, that's good enough for me.

BTW, what are you doing up at this hour. It must be 1:45 AM where you are. I'm out on the West Coast, so it's only 9:45 PM for me.

I have seen other watches with the gambling theme but it wasn't a pricey corum. There was actually a small white ball that spins around the roulette wheel that was really cool from the movement of your wrist. I can't recall the brand. Yours is awesome!

Thanks. My son loves the watch, the white ball is the 'seconds' marker; it is a fun watch.

That Corum is too cool! Would have been cool if the numbers was a day indicator and the ball could be the "pointer" to the date. I love Corums as well my cousin got an Admiral it is really cool!
