Buying pre-owned... (is all I can afford anymore)
Hey gangI haven't posted here in a good whiletrying to make a living with the structure of my business constantly changing is difficult. The daily discussion here at work, although we're hanging on, is something of the nature of "Oh, I wish we had the business that we had back in 2006..." or something similar, but I digress.I consider myself all the more fortunate over the last couple years to have aquired the three Rolex watches that I have, all of them brand new, since things were considerably better back then financially, and since I realistically don't see any new Rolexes on the horizon. Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not complaining about lifeI'm in good health, I haven't had to sell any of the watches I purchased in the past, etc. Just a simple point of fact though, things just aren't the way they used to beand I think there's many of us here that can speak those same words with truth.That being saidand now that I'm considering more strongly buying pre-owned (which was once

My 1st "major" Rolex modification!
After seeing Hannes, John's & Sheldon's custom sapphire case-backs on their Rolex's I decided to pick one up for my steel & gold Yacht-Master. I'd actually been planing to get it for awhile, but always put it off. Well, I finally stopped talkin' & started doin'. So I contacted Thomas & ordered one...After, IMO, a very quick shipping from Germany the caseback was in my hands! Now, start the modifications!First, the new sapphire case-back.First, got to take off the bracelet so the case can fit in the case-vise OK, now let's get that stock case-back off...There it is!!

A few shots of the movement since I have the case-back off..OK, watch & new case-back - ready to go on..Let's tighten it down good There!Put the bracelet back on & we're done!!Overall I'm very impressed.

Power Reserve/ Main Spring test completed. Why you should check yours.
If you are a automatic watch enthusiast like myself, these test are not only mandatory but interesting and fun. . .I love knowing what my watches movements are capable of. . These test are also a very good idea to keep a record of your automatics performance for future reference. .If your time starts to slip or power reserve starts to fall, you know its time for a service. . On with the test.........I just finished a main spring / power reserve test of my new Panerai N Pam 104. . . I started the the test Sunday morning at 9am by winding the watch fully and setting the time. . I then set the watch in my watch box making sure not to touch or move it for the duration of the test. .I then periodically monitored its accuracy as the mainspring winds down . . . The power reserve spec for the OPIII movement is 42 hours... My results were surprising. .The watch has be regulate to a incredibly high standard. . .The OPIII movement in my watch keeps a outstanding accuracy rate of 0 seconds + or -
