CARTIER Pantheres et Colibri Wristwatch
Lounging leisurely among the silvery stalks of grass, against a diamond-besprinkled black backdrop, Cartier's emerald-eyed panther appears pensive. Her white gold body is covered with a 270-diamond-bejewelled coat, set off with lacquered black spots. Just above her shoulders, off-centred at 10:30, two tiny, sword-shaped, gilded steel hands display the hours and minutes discreetly. They are prompted by the 9915 MC calibre housed in a white gold case of around 43 mm diameter set with 314 diamonds. This automatic movement offers over three days' autonomy, featured on the dial in an incredibly poetical style: by pressing the diamond-set crown, the wearer can contemplate the hummingbird (colibri in French) ascend into the sky whilst a golden panther cub emerges from under its mother. The height at which the bird stops indicates the power reserve. The Pantheres et Colibri wristwatch is also proposed with a diamond-paved bracelet. Price upon request. Sharmila Bertin

Trying to identify Hamilton Watch
Hi Folks,I found your forum through the miracle of Google. I inherited a watch from my uncle who recently passed away. It is a Hamilton Automatic stainless steel watch with "SWISS" under the 6 (so I know it was made after 1966 in Switzerland). I found a similar watch with a black leather band. It was a K-501 (for sale) and it had little information. My watch is currently damaged and it may cost more to repair it than it's worth. However, I will probably do it anyways for sentimental reasons. Also, I really like wearing a vintage watch. It is stylish and quite unique.So, my two requests for help are:1. Can you help me identify and value my watch?2. Can you suggest a good repair shop for it?Thank you in advance for your help!Jim MinterFayetteville, GA

My AP ROO Diver "mini review" !
Hello all !Having been absent here for quite a while I would like to give a mini review of my newly acquired Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver. It¡äs a watch that I have been secretly dreaming of for a long time, but I have always thought that it would be outside my reach.But looking at my collection of watches recently I arrived at the conclusion that it would indeed now be possible - only hurdle was that it required sacrificing a couple of watches that I was very fond of. However having given it a little more thought I realized that none of the watches in question would be impossible for me to reacquire.So off to one of the many danish good guy used watch dealers I went - swapped my Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra, my Rolex Sea Dweller triple 6 and an Omega Constellation Pie Pan and returned home a happy camper wearing the AP ROO Diver on a bracelet on my wrist :-)At this time I have had the watch for a couple of weeks and would like to share my first impressions of it with you.Weig

Is this something normal for an AD to do?
So, couple of months ago I've put my name down for a BLNR at Melbourne Airport Rolex, today I've received a message saying that they've just got one in stock and asked whether I'm still interested. Although, there's a catch, that is I have to buy an additional watch in order for them to sell me the BLNR. I was never informed about this when I put my name down. So my question is, is this something normal for an AD to do? P/S. I understand that some ADs would only consider existing customers when it comes to the waiting list. But since they've got one in stock and actually messaged me, I just thought it's a little strange.
