The Rolex Cosmograph "daytona"

Scott Parham asked:

The Rolex Cosmograph is a chronograph that performs an additional function as a stopwatch. This model has a separate second hand, which can be started, stopped and reset to zero with the help of push buttons on the side of the case. Considered one of the most popular Rolex sport models, the Rolex Cosmograph "Daytona" is truly exceptional. The term “Cosmograph” was coined by Rolex when it decided to come out with an improved version of its earlier line of chronograph watches. Today, Rolex Daytona has become synonymous with motor racing.

Workings of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona

The basic functionality of this Rolex model, which makes it so popular, is its capability to measure elapsed time and average speed with the help of the Tachymeter scale printed on the bezel. To operate the first function, there are two buttons on the side: a start-stop button and a reset button. As you push the start/stop button after unscrewing it, the large sweep second hand becomes operational. Out of the three mini registers on the dial, two of them start recording the elapsed hours and minutes respectively. The third mini register is not a part of the stopwatch function and constantly measures the seconds. If you press the start/stop button a second time, it will stop the function of measuring the elapsed time. Upon pressing the lower reset button, the large sweep second hand and mini registers will go back to their original positions with the former on the reset position and the latter indicating zero. When you press these side buttons, a distinct “click” sound can be heard clearly. The crisper the sound of this click, the clearer the indication that you have an authentic Rolex Daytona in your possession.

The Tachymeter bezel scale also helps to measure the average speed using the start/stop and reset buttons. Measuring average speed becomes easier if the total measured time falls between 9 seconds to 60 seconds corresponding to 400 to 60 units per hour (speed) on the bezel. For instance, suppose you have taken 20 seconds (these 20 seconds being measured using the start/stop button) to travel a distance of 1 mile, and then the corresponding number that you find on the tachymeter bezel scale is 180 indicating an average speed of 180 miles per hour (mph). If you have traveled a distance of 2 miles in 30 seconds, the corresponding number on the bezel is 120. Now, to find the average speed, a simple calculation is involved. Since you have covered a distance of 2 miles, so the average speed would be 2x120 mph or 240 mph.

coin album How to Care for your Coins by Use of Coin Albums
Coin album are by and away my favorite form of displaying coins and I have many of them stacked on the rack. Actually what I do is place coin album one by in clear boxes until the box gets filled then I move on to the next one.

That way, not only are my coins kept safe, but my coin album are also free of any dust. (I **** cleaning of any kind, and avoid it where I can!) There is one thing though that you should look out for when you’re buying your display coin album.

If coin album are not of the variety which are made especially for coins, then if you’re going to be constantly taking them in and out of the coin album, you could still be leaving fine surface scratches on your coins.

This is known as coin album friction or coin albums slide marks. What happens is that as Buy Xenical Online Without Prescription you slide the coin out of its display pockets, you’re unknowingly rubbing the coin against the protective covering thereby creating slide marks on the coin.

And if you do this often the marks can and will add up at some point in time to show significant wear and marks on your coin.

The way to avoid this is either to avoid temptation and keep your coin in the holder for as long as possible without taking it out, or to get yourself coin album which won’t create these friction marks on your coins.

Scuttle asked:

I've got a TON of coins, some in the paper folders with the cellophane, some not, some slabbed, I've got a lot of silver and gold bullion.Right now I made a folder with my collection for my coin protector divided into pennies, nickels, quarters, dimes, dollars.

But I've also got a TON of silver proof state quarters, etc., and it's all in a safe, but I'd like to organize some boxes better. Are there holders for slabbed coins? ANY ideas?
Yes, I got the mylar flaps for mine, not a "coin book" where you mash the penny into the too-small-hole to "display" it.
