Found: One Of The Rarest Self-Winding Watches In The World, For Sale (What Is The Patek 2585?)
There are indeed some otherworldly watches coming up for sale this auction season – including these four, and this one, and all these and these. But one watch that may have slipped past your radar is the watch you see here. It doesn't look like much, does it? It's a simple steel Patek Calatrava, but what sits inside – an automatic caliber – coupled with said steel case, is what makes it so special. This is the only known example of the Calatrava reference 2585 – or in other words, it's one of the absolute rarest self-winding watches on the planet. 1 OF 5 Yup, the reference 2585 dates to 1958 and it is the only vintage steel self-winding watch from Patek to house the beautiful caliber 12'''600. This caliber is one of Patek's greatest achievements – its first automatic as seen in the likes of the 2526 – and it has several special traits.

where to service my manual longines
hello,my manual longines watch that i got from ebay is running about 1 minute fast every day. the seller told me he didn't know when it had last been serviced, so i should probably see about getting one.can anyone advise me of a decent (cost effective if possible) means of getting this watch serviced. on the high street i have been told anywhere between 100 and 215 pounds....for a manual watch!i have got a price of 40 pounds from chealwatch, which is obviously tempting, however i dont want to do anything stupid by sending it somewhere dodgy...any advise / warning would be greatly appreciated

Service cost on AP? - Just things to consider before a purchase. (input appreciated)
Hey guys.So before I make any decision on this beautiful 15450, which IMO is a perfect fit for my wrists, I have a few questions.I generally am very careful with my watches, and I am aware that the AP RO is very prone to scratches, and I would I assume knowing how I am, I will probably want to service her every few years. How much does a service generally cost?I assume if there is a deep ding on the bezel, it would have to be changed. Would this literally cost a fortune?Lastly. Would you think this is a good idea for a second watch?First being a Rolex GMT.Input is appreciated!

Bedtime read?
What are you reading? Apart from Rolex catalogues, that is.

Datejust vs oyster perpetual
As some of you would of read my last post asking about dials on the op for my wifes up coming 30th B'Day.I thought id update our recent purchase.We were going to go for a 31mm op for her but rolex dont do an all silver dial for this watch. If they did the search may have been concluded.As the days went on though i knew in my heart that a date just with jubilee would be the grail watch for her.I just didnt want to justify the extra $$$$So was pretty convinced on a 31mm op silver dial with pink indices... unfortunately know one had one in stock nor could give a eta on one.As i thought about it more & more i decided just to bite the bullet and get the watch she dreamt of....Can always save more money but its not easy to make an op a date just Any way its a couple of months to her birthday but ivetold her just to rock it now
