    Where is the web of RXW?

    I see the web is not available anymore. Are they still making watches?

    They were sued by Panerai in 2004 over copyright issues. I guess it is safe to assume they went bankrupt.

    But I have bought a RockX PLASMIR MILGRAPH a few months ago, the one with the Seagill/Venus movement... :?

    Maybe there were some NOS unsold models or the company went underground.

    Not sure if Ken is carrying on as he hasn't renewed the hosting on his web site although the domain has another year to run.

    rockxwatch.com expired on 03/17/2008 and is pending renewal or deletion
    It'll be a shame.

    I agree, nice watches at reasonable prices.

    They're (the company) still around, i was at their shop just over a week ago. Spoke to a staff by the name of Michihide Tatsumi and bought myself a few RXWs. :wink:

    I believe the addy (Watch Collection, BLU Ginza) is still the same:
    1-14-10-1F Ginza Chuou-Ku, Tokyo, Japan 104-0061

    Perhaps the rockxwatch website is down due to a non-renewal/payment of ken trading or if my worse fears manifest, it could be the work of the evil Richemont Empire... :twisted:

    I did own the 2 counter milgraph once.
    The built quality is good, but that Chinese Venus movement (in my case), was a joke, it did nearly a minute a day :shock: .
    That case with a NOS Valoux 72 inside, that would be cool 8) .
    And the limited edition story, well, I don't know, they keep popping up NOS.

    Cheers,

    Daddel.

    Daddel, thatīs really very strange. I have the same one and it goes fine, well, more than fine. You must have been very unlucky. But the case is beautiful, right? 8) :wink:

    Re: Where is the web of RXW?

    i guess they just never paid to maintain the web...
    i did post to in bwf n watchbus... ken's trading representative in watchbus saying website will be upgraded actually...
    but business still on...

    i doubt its limited.... i owned a mm20.... sold it later... its welll made but just too big for my wrist...
    looking for a plasmir milgraph 7750... to me, the design combining h3 gas tube is excellence !

    but recently after they made those mm25 radiormir type of watches... i really felt, they just another business company who try to make as much... for cushion case, they already have rwc, tz uk..... and so many others doing it....

    they should have continue creating new watches like plasmir milgraph....

    I heard that they might run into some kind of "Warning" issues again. Might be wrong abt it.

    Could you provide any information about how and where you were able to purchase the watch? I'd like to check them out.

    Cheers,

    Jay

    Re: Where is the web of RXW?

    Many thanks, John.

    I have a feeling that the watches will still be out of my price range, but I have been reading some very good things about them and I am interested in the Pani look.

    Cheers,

    Jay
