5711 Nautilus Questions
I just purchased a new 5711R Nautilus from an AD and have two questions:1. When setting the time, after pulling out the stem fully, I notice that this does not stop the "seconds" hand. Is this normal?2. When finished setting the time and after fully pushing in the stem, I notice that when screwing the crown in, it sounds as if the watch is being wound. Is this normal?If someone who has a nautilus would respond I would appreciate it.

Original Hamilton factory
The original Hamilton factory was built in 1875 in Lancaster, PA, for the Adams & Perry Watch Company. They went bankrupt in 1876 and were succeeded by the Lancaster Watch Company, and then by the Keystone Watch Company. The newly incorporated Hamilton Watch Company (November 1892) took over the factory and equipment, and also bought out the machinery from the Aurora Watch Company in Illinois.Here's the factory as it appeared in 1875, with some artistic license (the cupolas on the ends were never completed):And a photo from 1895:And here's a view of the same building about 10 years ago:Fortunately, this magnificent building was not torn down like so many others. Today it has been converted to condominiums, and is called Clock Tower Apartments. It's a fabulous building with a regal history.

3 really RARE Patek pieces
The question, if you could have one of these 3.... which one would you pickAnd telling us 'WHY' you would pick the first, second or third might be interestingAs you'll see these 3 are rare but not ultra complicated.-1-The 5070 in platinumAs Always, no official number, nobody know how many they made but we know the were extremely hard to get and they were only made 6 till 12 months. It was the last of the 5070 series which was in any metal a sought after piece. The red / white / yellow were made 4 years per color. The platinum like said less than 1 year.-2-The 5711 in platinumThey made a few dozen for the boutiques but it will go into regular production. BUT it will be very limited production. How many per year? nobody knows.Nice and stealth but expensive for an entry Patek movement with no complications-3-The 5131 Enamel cloisson¨¦ world timer. Already a few years in production, available in yellow or white gold. But then again, probably no more the 30 till 50 pieces per year.
