Mea Culpa!
I recently discovered that I'd been leading you all astray. In a minor way, of course, but stillBased on an ad, and a crystal envelope, I had been calling this watch a 'Briarwood'.Last week, I saw a Lord Elgin Mystery Dial watch up on Ebay that changed my thinking. I held off on posting this until it sold, which it did last night. Here it is, with the same ad picture:"Ah," I thought. "So THAT is a Briarwood! Then what's MY watch called?" Well, another ad, from 1957, answered that question:It's a FUTURA!! I've seen folks calling it a 'Futur' based on Crazywatches.pl (Great site, BTW!!!), but 'Futur' never sat right. How in hell do you PRONOUNCE it? The other thing is, I think there were more Briarwoods out there, but based on my experience with the Celestial - I think the white paint on the bezel flaked off, and folks opted to simply strip the whole thing down to the gold.

Should I send 5712 to HSWA under warranty?
My 5712 has consistently been running 4 seconds fast per day. I've had the time peace for over year and a half and it's coming up on warranty expiration. If it was your personal timepiece , would you all send it to HSWA to have it looked at before warranty expires? I know about Patek turnaround being quite long. Curious to get your thoughts an responses.Thanks

New corrosion tester for OP
Maybe a little late for the 339? ;-)Luxury watchmaker Panerai recently took delivery of an Ascott S120iP. This bench top salt spray test chamber will be used at the manufacturing site in Neuchatel, Switzerland to verify the corrosion resistance of the high quality component parts that Panerai incorporate into their watches.The history of Panerai can be traced back to the 19th century when as a watch-making laboratory, they were selected as a supplier of measurement and precision instruments to the Italian Navy. That tradition and association with the sea continues into the twenty-first century with their current product range.The Ascott chamber selected by Panerai is the ever popular bench-top 120 Litre capacity model. This salt spray chamber is capable of meeting a wide range of international salt spray test standards and is ideally suited to the testing of small component parts.

Rolex Sea Dweller
Gents,Recently bought a 16600 SD and it is awesome! I pulled the crown out today to set the date and time after not wearing it for a week and the time setting to the last position of the crown only clicks. The hands will not move. Almost like the bezel is rotating sound. Any thoughts on what this is and how to get er fixed? Thanks Gents
