angels and demons
I just watched the new movie angels and demons starring Tom Hanks. I noticed the bad guy in the movie. The person who walked around killing everyone used something that looked like a two tone Datejust on a jubilee bracelet. Anyone know if it actually was a Rolex?Also Tom Hanks uses a Mickey mouse watch. Anyone know what brand that is? Disney? One off topic note. Some might remember I changed the plexiglas on my datejust and wondered if the new glasses was stronger then the old? I have come to the conclusion that either the new glasses are stronger then the old once or my old glass were flawed. My other glass scratched all the time you could almost not even touch it without making a scratch. This new glass has still not scratched and things has happened to the new glass that is fare worse then what happened to the last one. Things that for sure would scratch my old glass.

Some Special Vintage Pocketwatches from Illinois
Vintage watch friends, your moderator, RJ007 kindly sent me a PM yesterday and warmly welcomed me to post some of my vintage pocketwatch collection here in the American Forum on WTF. While I have been a member of WTF since last May, 2009, my participation has been very limited, I have been reading posts much more than contributing. As to my watch collections, I own 92 wristwatches, watches from some very fine Swiss watch brands represented separately here on WTF, and my vintage pocketwatch collection consists of 57 beautiful, pristine PWs (all 57 PWs are in good running order and keep acceptable time). I have been collecting PWs for over 30 years and have researched all watches in my collection thoroughly, knowing the histories of their manufacturers, as well as information pertinent to each watch. My vintage watch collection consists only of PWs, I own no vintage wristwatches, save for a 40 year old Rolex (that I wore exclusively for nearly 30 years --- it still runs beautifully, look

Mini Marvel or Just Lazy?
I've mentioned before how I'm fascinated by my Seiko Coltura Perpetual Calender - and it still hasn't worn off.When the watch wakes after weeks of sleep, I never ceased to be amazed at the whirling dials and the return to the exact time, day, date etc. And I love that this is kinetic - driven by wrist power like a mechanical automatic - instead of just a battery.I find myself drawn to it repeatedly since setting the time on my mechanical watches frequently becomes a pain in the butt. Especially if I'm in a hurry.I love the kinetic and perpetual calendar features (other brands make them I think) and urge all watch geeks to check 'em out. Truly a marvel of engineering - for the lazy, like me.

Is that true that both 312 and 1312 are S-series?
Panerai released the new watch series naming last year, I found some peoples 312 are R-series, but meanwhile others are s-series. I am just wondering Is that true that both 312(359, 523) and 1312(1359,1523) are S-series?

Re-Incoming!!
In 1988 my parents gave me a Rolex OP Date 15053 for graduating from University. I wore it daily for years until it needed service and a new dial because I was struggling to see the gold hands against the champagne dial. I had the dial changed to black at that service. I never really liked the watch after the dial change. In fact I regretted making the change. A month or so ago, I decided I would have it serviced, a new bracelet and the dial changed again. I didn¡¯t go back to champagne as my eyes aren¡¯t improving as I age. I decided to have it changed to blue. I just got it back from Rolex Canada and I¡¯m thrilled. The service took 5 weeks and the amount was exactly as quoted. More importantly, this watch looks the best it¡¯s ever looked. This watch is awesome!!
