My Rolex has quit running
Help! I have a GMT2C that has quit running three times over the last week. I have now come to the conclusion that there must be a problem.It is my daily beater and that thing barely leaves my wrist. In the last two years I've traded it out here or there, but that piece always ends up on my wrist by the end of the day.Three days this week, I was doing normal activities and noticed it stopped. On Tuesday afternoon it stopped around lunchtime. Two-days ago it stopped while I was driving. Now, this morning it stopped again while I was sleeping.I've noticed the last 2-times it has stopped around the 25-second mark, making me think there is some type of mechanical defect. But I am looking for opinions on what it may be, and what something like this may be costing me. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Please help me choose....
OK, this is not another thread of which one I should buy, but rather which one should I get first.There are 3 chrono's that I am considering:Longines Master Collection Moon Phase, silver dial, crocodile strapOMEGA Speedmaster Date, either Black or Silver Dialor TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph, Black dial, on bracelettagheuer/the-collecti...=CV2014.BA0786I will eventually get all three, but would like the opinion of people who might know something I don't.

Provenance?
Check out the description in thiseBay auction. When will sellers learn not to make a claim without proof?

My first Panerai - An Object of Italian Design
Hello Forum members! Over these past 3 or 4 weeks my son's, who both have Panerai 111 timepieces, have given me the bug to buy my first Panerai! I frequently travel to Firenze on business and unfortunately it never occurred to me that I could have visited the original site of where Panerai started. During a recent trip to France, a co-worker had on a GMT that he bought years ago before they became popular when he was working at my company's manufacturing site in Firenze. That event, coupled with my son's influence, I ended up buying the model 512 you see pictured in this post, along with my other Italian prized toy.
