My first collection-now gone
These were the types of watches I was collecting before I got te the full sickness.It was a different kind of sickness.

Rik with Time care Inc to the rescue again
I dropped off my brothers GMT II off to Rik for a service. He did a great job on the watch, you would never guess it was a 16 year old watch when it was done. Below you will find the before and after shots of the watch.beforeAfter shotsAs I said, another great job by our very own Rik, even better then how the case looks the watch is running .8 seconds fast per day.

AD says 510 not available till September
I'm in Canada and tried finding out if the 000...005..111 and even the 510 and was told by the AD that none are available and the 510 won't be available till September. I thought the 510 was released last year? Shouldn't it be available. The only one they had in stock around my price range is a 113 but don't know if I can pull the trigger on my first PAM as a white faced one. Is the 510 really not available anywhere in Canada yet? I would at least like to track a 111 new from an AD. I always feel comfortable buying from an AD.Are there no discounts on any Panerai...or is it just the base models they don't discount?Thanks.
