Hands-On: The MB&F Legacy Machine Perpetual Calendar, And Why It Matters To Anyone Interested In Watches
The Legacy Machine Perpetual Calendar was the very first true high complication from MB&F, which seems very difficult to believe at first, because the impression one has of the company, and its watches, is exactly the one of exclusivity and ingenuity that you ordinarily associate with the traditional high complications. The perpetual calendar in the Legacy Machine Perpetual is like every other perpetual calendar ever made in that it allows the watch to correctly show the date, whether or not the month in question has 31, 30, 29, or 28 days in it. How it does what it does isn’t arbitrary, either – it’s an essential part of the fantastic aesthetics of the watch. To understand how the Legacy Machine Perpetual can look the way it does, you need to understand what a perpetual calendar is, how it works, and how the Legacy Machine takes the basic principles of a traditional perpetual calendar and modifies them in order to allow it to look like no other perpetual calendar

Real or Fake Victorinox Swiss Army Watch? What model?
Hey,I'm new to the forum so I apologize, if this is not the place to post this question. So, I bought this watch at a flea market the other day for $15. I realized when I got home the back-case was not really shut properly, so I popped it open with my finger. (see the pics) From what I can see, it says "PC21S" (not sure what the "S" is for), writing says "Singapore No Jewels". So, I'm thinking it's a fake? the watch is actually keeping time pretty well. The back of the case looks suspicious, the number on it is "8888", though I can't seem to find any Swiss army watch like that. From the styling it looks similar to the Victorinox Cavalry..maybe) The face is a glow-in-the dark, seems to work fine. A few questions:1) Is the whole thing fake, or just the movement, and the back? Is the case or the dial real?2) I really like the case and dial, is it possible for me to get a correct movement installed? What movement is appropriate for this watch?3) If it is partially real, what model is this?

AD visit
I was in town and visiting my AD so I decided to check out their inventory. I was glad to see a new 41mm royal oak since I hadn't had the chance to try it on. I was also my first time trying on a forged carbon offshore, wow, that watch is amazing. They also had a panda on the bracelet, a bumble bee, and quite a few others but I only managed to get wrist shots of these 2.

I sincerely hope that you are listening, Mr. Stern.
There are two things that I would love to see Patek do in the future that I feel would be not only be good for the brand itself but also for watch lovers in general. First, would be to release a non-limited edition of the new 5522 without the New York engraving. This would make a wonderful watch available those not fortunate enough to obtain one of the originals while in no way detracting from the value and exclusivity of the limited-edition. And secondly, to make a steel version of the 5524. This would bring both of the Calatrava Pilots within reach of a wider audience and would perhaps tempt me away, at least for a while, from my Rolexes. Let me know what you think of my modest proposal.

What a fantastic video. Thank you!
This is a very cool video about how Patek Philippe makes their watches.Enjoy!
