HYT H2 Tradition: Futuristic Meets Retro
The “hydromechanical horologists” of indie watch brand HYT were among the first-time exhibitors at this year’s SIHH in Geneva. After making a splash at recent Baselworlds with pioneering timepieces like the H1, H2, and H3, the brand headed by watch-industry veteran Vincent Perriard wowed the SIHH crowd with the new H2 Tradition ¡ª the first HYT to meld cutting-edge technology with horological classicism.The HYT H2 Tradition is the first HYT watch with such classical refinements as guilloch¨¦ finishes, delicately lacquered dials, black Roman numerals for the hours, and blued Breguet-style hands, but it retains the now-familiar HYT hydro-mechanical aesthetic thanks to the capillary around the dial’s periphery, filled with blue fluid that moves forward with the passing of the hours. The liquid is driven by two bellows positioned on either side of the 6 o’clock marker, a system developed for the original H2 watch in 2013. With the fluid in the capillary displayi

any thoghts--Gladiator watch
Looking at a vintage 'Gladiator' wrist watch. Always wanted a 'doctor's dial'but they are usally to high for me. this one has a mechanical 17 Jewl swiss mvtbut needs dial and case refinishing-I can probably get it for relatively cheapcompared to the Longines Admiral doctor's dial I missed out on (it went for 1200also missed a waltham which went for 100and needed the same king of restoration).

Also would replate case in either rhodium or silver and re-fiish dial-? cost to expect?-best, Jodybeth

Help with purchase of used Calatrava 6000G
I am in the need of some urgent guidance from discerning Patek Phillippe owners. I am looking at buying a 2006 6000G, which seems to come at a good price being a tad over half of the current RRP. However, its case bears fine scratches, especially on the bezel, consistent with its age. The seller offered to have it professionally polished promising an as new outcome. The watchmaker charged with the task lightly polished one side of the case but declined to go further as he feared that a full polish would lead to a colour change. I have the opportunity to cancel the deal and am thinking on it overnight. This will be my first Patek and I am stretching the budget to buy it. Does one live with blemishes of the type especially at the price to be paid? Also, what to other members think of the the 6000G?

so I'm thinking about picking up a 62510 bracelet for my GMT II, and I've noticed that the correct jubilee bracelet for the GMT II is the 62510 bracelet with the number 50 on the very last link near the endlink.... why is that? What I'm asking is, is there any particular difference between a 62510 without the 50 and one that has it? What does it mean?
