MB&F HM4 Thunderbolt Watch Revealed
If you have ever wondered what a MB&F aviator watch might look like, then this is your answer. In fact, the actual dial of the brand spankin' new Horological Machine Number 4 (HM4) "Thunderbolt" watch is a done with a classic aviator style design. I love how MB&F presented this little homage to all those aviator classic with the MB&F twist, including the font used for the numerals and the hands. Like all Horological Machines before it, the point of the watch isn't primarily to tell time, but to celebrate being a machine, a machine that tells the time. I first covered the HM4 here on Luxistwatches-dealer when all MB&F allowed me to show was the movement (see the galley images there for live shots of the movement).According to MB&F, the main inspiration behind the Thunderbolt watch is the A-10 plane - though lots of people speculated about it being something more Sci-Fi in origin.

32* ?
Saw these on the shopping channel last night (TIVOd). They had some nice looking pieces at "too good to be true" prices. Swiss Rondo movements, real saphire crystals, Swiss chrono. Most "retailed" for between $450 and $600, from what I remember, and were selling for less than $200. Anybody familiar with this brand?

Watch running fast when worn
What causes a 3126/3840 movement to run faster when worn?From my timing, I found that my ROO gained 94s when worn between 9am till 6.45pm. When left off the wrist, it gained about 14s between 6.45pm to 9am the next morning.Is this the 'rebanking' issue that some have spoken about? Is it a simple case of minor adjustment needed or is a major service required?The watch is about 1.5 years old and still under warranty but the nearest APSC is Singapore.Thanks all!

A few pics of the 5960p
I've been absolutely loving the 5960p since picking it up, and even though it may not be the most collectable Patek, it's definitely the right watch for me and that's what it's all about, as sometimes you just have to go with your heart The 5070 will just have to wait a bit longer Been snapping a few pics of the 5960 over the holidays, and thought I'd share them. Hope you enjoy!
