F.P. Journe Stars In His Own Manga Comic
I wouldn't have believed it until I saw it, but watchmaker Francois-Paul Journe is starring in his own Japanese manga comic. Written and illustrated by actual Japanese people. Yes, it is weird, but totally true. I picked one up at a F.P. Journe boutique store here in Los Angeles and apparently there aren't that many of them.The manga is called "Story of F.P. Journe" and proceeds to walk through some elements of Francois-Paul's life and career¨C and some of the the brand's watches and developments. Actually, the "story" is not entirely new but rather an adaptation of a previous manga made especially for F.P. Journe. That previous manga was produced for the Japanese watch magazine called Tokei Begin and was called "Tokei Kigen Monogatari" from 2005. If you want to know, it is written by Yasutoshi Murakawa and drawn by Nakano Kung-fu.The Japanese have a manga for pretty much everything, so that they would have one to explain watch history is not particularly surprising. I think there is a

Here I am: a new user!
Hi to everyone!I'm a new user and I've just discovered this forum. As I can see, you're all watches' enthusiasts. I'm not an expert in this field, but I really like wrist watches, especially the mechanical ones. So I hope to be in the right place!

Pam 682
As some of you know, I picked up a PAM 233 not too long ago and I'm still in my honeymoon phase with it. I noticed the new PAM 682 while accompanying my friend to pick out his first watch at the AD. I instantly fell in love with it after trying it on. I've always admired the PAM 305/1305 but never considered getting it due to the size. I'm sure glad Panerai decided to release this smaller version. Here are a few pictures of both my new PAMs side by side. This was a complete impulse purchase. The 2mm difference make a huge difference especially for someone like me with relatively thin wrists. I loved the way it looked and felt on my wrist. The watch retains all the original DNA of Panerai while making it more accessible for guys with smaller wrists. Thanks for looking!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Totally Impulse Purchase. What were the chances?
I am very new to the Rolex world just having bought a 116610LV Hulk. I love it but decided I wanted something slimmer fitting than that for every day wear. I decided the Daytona was probably my best option after reading so much about them here. I knew the ceramic new ones weren't a possibility unless I paid grey prices which I never really considered. I figured the two tone was my best bet as the older stainless models were so inflated in price as well. I stopped by the AD that was kind enough to call me for my Hulk just to see if they had a Daytona (white face) two tone just so I could try it on. I had absolutely no intention to purchase it as I was on the list for a BLNR and wanted to decide before that came in. Well, I tried it on and was so disappointed the white face was just hard for me to read. The owner kinda smiled and said hang on. He brought out a 116520 black face that still had the factory stickers, the papers and original box! I could see it much better than the white fac
