Fortis Andora Emotion Limited Art Edition Watch
Holy crap, what is this thing? I realize this is one of Fortis' edgy "Art Edition" watches, but wow. This is unexpected for even the art version of the serious tool watch brand's products. Limited to just 100 pieces and in a 42mm wide titanium case, this watch isn't just an (questionably bastardized) artist's rendering of a Fortis chronograph watch, but also tries to tell you how to enjoy and spend your time. How does it do that? Will look at the "suggestions" (in German) on the bezel. Set into four quadrants, with three words in each, you should have a new task each time you look at the time. Though you might disagree with the Andora watch's suggestions, and probably rightly so.The dial of the watch is where things get the most strange. Andora's drawings make up the chronograph subdials and the sub seconds dial as well. Who or what these little freaky characters are is beyond my understanding. There is more German in light text revolving the dial (see the translation of it in the tech

Reluming luminous wrist watch hands
I would like to hear about anyones or everyone's experience with reluming luminous vintage wristwatch hands. Over the years I have had International dial relume luminous hands and I think the cost was $7.00 a pair but was limited to green and antique brown. Does anyone know of anyone that can do different colors to match the original luminous colors of the existing numerals? Not being able to get the lume on the hands and numerals to somewhat match, some different colors together just don't look right and I personally don't like the skeletal look of the hands without the lume. Has anyone ever experimented with filling the hands with water based acrylic paint to match the numerals? I have seen a technique on the internet where you draw paint (luminous or acrylic) across the underside of the hands with a pin covered with paint to fill the hands let dry and reinstall, and if you don't like the result remove, dip hands in water, remove paint and try again. they won't be luminous but the co

Advice Needed - Best Patek Dress Watch that Wears Casually
Hey Everyone,I am finally feeling the pull of a Patek dress watch.Seeing the 5270 (white dial) and 5131r in person has cast a spell on me.But are those too dressy for more casual attire?Since dress watches are not something I have a lot of experience with,I am coming here to seek sage advice.Question: Which Patek Dress watch references, metals, dial colors etc. are the easiest to wear with casual attire as well as more dressed up.I am not looking for any Nautilus (including 5980, 5990, etc) or Aquanaut references, but more the classic (and modern) Patek dress watch references.Main criteria 1) Definitely under $120-130K (but more realistically $50-100K range)2) Must dress down to even jeans, shorts, sandals, nice shirts, and sharp graphic tees even. Is that possible to pull off in a fashionable way?3) Ideally a watch that will not tank on the secondary market.My preference would be platinum, but white gold may be necessary for monetary reasons.Actually I am open to suggestions on which
