Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica
The case on the new Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica is made of zirconium oxide ceramic, a very hard material that is resistant to corrosion and scratching. The case is formed using an isostatic pressure process that produces a single block ready for milling. The 44mm case requires over 60 operations to complete. The screw-down back is titanium with a sapphire window opening onto the P.2003 automatic movement. The movement – designed and manufactured in-house by Officine Panerai – offers a 10 day power reserve, the status of which is displayed via a linear display on the trademark sandwich dial. This reference PAM00335 will be produced in a limited series of 500 pieces with a European MSRP of 12,900 euros. The launch is scheduled for September 10.Additional information appears below the image, which may be enlarged with a click.LUMINOR 1950 10 DAYS GMT CERAMICA ¨C 44 MMMovement: Automatic mechanical, Panerai P.2003 caliber, executed entirely by Panerai, 13? lignes, 8.0 mm t

Wearing a Watch Through Airport Security
I travel a lot for business, and I have never been comfortable taking off an expensive watch and being separated from it while it goes through an x-ray machine in a tray as I walk through the security checkpoint. It's hard enough keeping an eye on my computer briefcase, let alone a small object that could quickly be placed in someone's pocket and never seen again.I'm not sure where I saw this, but a while back I read that someone was told by a security screener that you don't even have to take your watch off when going through the checkpoint because it doesn't set off the alarm.So I decided to do a test. I have been on seven business trips and through several airports, including Detroit, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Asheville, North Carolina. I intentionally wore big, chunky stainless steel watches each time, like my Ball Cleveland Express, Oris Big Crown, and Breitling Chrono GT. I also wore a two-tone Datejust to see if gold would have an impact. In each case I kept the watch under my sl

Visited 4 AD¡¯s in South Florida this week...
While looking for a new Rolex for my wife¡¯s up coming birthday, this week I stopped by four different AD¡¯s in South Florida.While at each store I also asked about the availability of the elusive GMT 116710 BLNR. While each stored had great inventory none had the BLNR in stock.This is what I experienced:Mayors said they had none in their system but could order one directly through Rolex and could have it in 3-4 weeks with a 20% refundable deposit. I asked if I put a larger deposit or paid in full if I could get it quicker and he said no as it still takes 3-4 weeks to get it from Geneva.Weston Jewelers said they had one come in on Wed. but was sold very quickly as they worked their way down their waiting list. He said no deposit required.JR Dunn laughed and said that their waiting list was very very long but since I bought two watches from them two years ago I would get priority ranking over someone who hadn¡¯t made a purchase. He said they haven¡¯t had a BLNR in their store in four months
