Interview: Visit To The New Panerai Boutique In Miami & Interview With Angelo Bonati, CEO Of Pan
This month Panerai opened its first ever flagship store in the United States and I was lucky enough to go down to see the boutique for myself. The 2,200 square foot boutique is located in the heart of the Miami Design District – the innovative neighborhood being developed by Dacra, founded by entrepreneur Craig Robbins, and L Real Estate, a global real estate and development fund. 1 OF 17 The Miami Design District development is special in that it partners with prominent architects and artists to design the buildings and retail spaces. Each space is unique and creates an overall experience for the shopper. The Panerai boutique is located in an area called Palm Court, along with several other luxury brands such as Vacheron Constantin, IWC, Hublot, and Piaget (to name a few). The boutique is in a blue reinforced glass structure designed by Sou Fujimoto, who is known for his delicate and strong structures that deal with the concept of light. The facade is inspired by

Servicing vintage Omegas?
Some of you may recall my post about a gold Omega Chronograph (Cal 320) that was handed down to me by my Dad. It wasn't working and I gave it for repairs at the Omega service center here. Unfortunately, I get a call from them yesterday, informing me that the movement had rusted and they couldn't procure the spares and so would not be able to repair the watch Now I'm so depressed. I was really looking forward to seeing it tick again! For the guys here who own older Omegas; where can I get mine serviced? Can I send it to the Omega office in Switzerland? And if yes, how much can I expect to shell out?Thanks-Dhruv

Finding the perfect travel companion... Incoming 5164A
I got bitten by the Patek bug just a little over 4 months ago and started off with a 5167. I was quite amazed with how well put together it was with its very sleek profile, stunning anthracite dial and supreme comfortness, dare I say one of the most comfortable watches that I have ever owned. I thought I would live forever in happiness with it, and could wait patiently for a 5712.Well that is, until the 5164 caught my eye. When I think Patek, I think complications, and they've done an amazing job of integrating a very practical complication, and somehow made the piece cleaner and more balanced. I've always loved the idea of having a dual time, and bought a BLNR for that purpose, but found the function not so practical to use with having to unscrew the crown and adjust the local time. So then my search began for one. One thing that I simply could not ignore was the huge price tag on the 5164 - it looked like it was going to be a pretty significant cash top-up from the 5167. After much e

Question re buying w/o b&p on specific models..
So I have a question regarding buying certain models without box and paper. Specifically, the Kermit and 16710 Pepsi. As we know, both can be easily faked. A 16610 with a real or aftermarket green bezel is easy to do as is a 16710 Coke or LN with a Pepsi bezel. Other than having Rolex look up the serial during a service or something to that effect, how else would you know that it's a legitimate born as Kermit or Pepsi?I see several no B&P Kermits and Pepsi for sale here. I've also see a Pepsi for sale where it actually had the papers and it was marked R16710N30 (which means it's a all black GMT) and the seller was selling it as a Pepsi. When quizzed, they feigned ignorance and said that's how they bought it and didn't question it.I mean what's stopping someone from buying a correct era, run-of-the-mill no b&p 16610 for $5-6K, buying a Kermit bezel and then selling for $10K? When/if the buyer finds out, just say oh that's I got it, I didn't ask questions.?I know with the Kermit
