Cost Of Entry: Panerai Watches
Welcome to?the second installment in our Cost of Entry series of articles, where we go hands-on?with?the most affordable, entry-level watches of?today's leading luxury watch brands. In our first article, we looked at Rolex and the Oyster Perpetual, and today, we are checking out?what?Officine Panerai?has to offer with its Panerai Luminor PAM000 Base Logo watch.The remarkable popularity of Panerai is something that needs no introduction to most. Officine Panerai was purchased through the Vend?me Luxury Group by luxury industry giant Richemont SA in 1997; and since the dawn of the new millennium, Panerai has enjoyed a lasting ¨C and for a while, seemingly endless ¨C growth and expansion that was?matched by only a handful of other brands. Chances are, if you are reading this, you either already own a Panerai and are thinking about whether also getting the base model is a good idea, or you are interested in the brand and are planning on "entering it" sometime soon.

Stuff Stolen. Need Help.
Hi guys.I had a break-in at my storage unit. They made off with all my Rolex accessories, boxes and papers, and a dial and hands set from a 5513 (ca. 1970). I have pictures of some of the stuff. No watches were stolen.The 5513 was my first Rolex, and I had been saving that stuff for 45 years, so it hurts to lose it all this way. Not the end of the world, but a stab at the heart. If anyone comes across items that sound like this, perhaps you would PM me.Thanks.

Why I like Hamilton Watches
1) Wide range of prices (from under 300.00 to well over 1,000.00) for superb quality watches.2)Brand history (they are now owned by the Swatch Group but continue to produce their classic,original designs)3)Varied designs from the classic simplicity of the military looking khaki line and the Jazzmasters to more intricate dial designs like the X-wind and new Sunset models.4)Quality-I have never seen or owned a Hamilton that seemed anything but well made. I'm sure that being a Swatch group member is a good indication that production and quality control is top notch.5)Movements-ETA,ETA and ETAMileage may vary-but these are my reasons for liking the Hamiltonbrand.

I knew they did this to Rolex, but..
i had never imagined someone did this to a Patek:Shocking? Link:hypebeast/2012/07/bamford...on-phase-date/

Do you care about model number?
514 was on my radar before last night, it is not any more, there are so many other choices anyway. Maybe you'll think this is stupid reason - was talking to one of my Hong Kong friends last night, he happen to be a Panerai fan as well, he said he'll never buy it since 514 pronounced like I want to die or I want Shxxxx in Catonese.
