Problems with 2 Hamilton Khaki X-wind Automatics
My wife bought me a Khaki x-wind automatic watch for my 30th Birthday. I resized the band put the watch on and within 3 hours it had stopped. I returned it to the jewellers, they ordered a new watch, it arrived, I collected it, put it on and it lasted 12 hours. I find it very strange that 2 seperate watches have stopped working with 12 hours of wearing. I wasn't doing anything that I don't do with my Tag Heuer Carrera on, which I have had for 3 years and never had any probs. On one hand its really frustrating that I have paid ¡ê800 for a watch and haven't had it working for more than 12 hours, and also I have lost any faith in the quality of Hamilton watches. I'm taking it back to the jewellers this evening to see what they say...Any comments welcome

I fancy a different kind of Panerai
When Mrs Van D is away, a naughty Ruud will play. I would love one of these on my desk, I mean who wouldn’t? An absolute complete, utter waste of money but, and it’s a huge but with a capital B, they’ve just had a price adjustment. Yep, against the current trend of increases, these babies have dropped by about 40% and they’re down to S$4,300 (¡ê2,350 US$3,170). Alas, Mrs Van D has put the blockers on a purchase. If she comes out to Singapore in four weeks and finds one of these in the house then she’ll pull down my Alan’s and grab my Jacob’s and drag them over my head! The California dial is my favourite (651, I think). So, worth the risk?

Hi all,I'm not up on the Panerai market, but fancy one to add to the collection. I want an Automatic and have been offered the above for ¡ê3500. Its a 2004 model I think and looks in great condition. The questions I have or of course is this fair money and secondly, how do the service costs for Panerai amd to a rolex?Many thanks all.

Gotta love Tudor.
Great watch.

When it's The One, you just know (Incoming)
The world of horology is a relatively new hobby of mine, within the past couple of years or so. The first watch I ever saw that really captivated me and opened my eyes to the beauty of watches was the BLNR -- it was simply stunning to me, and to this day has remained my #1.After several months, I began my quest to search for a daily wearer that I could pass down to my son when he grows up. I researched the topic to death, and purchased both a 14060M and 16710BLRO. Both are incredible watches in their own rights, but I couldn't quite ever get rid of the BLNR bug. My head said to try a couple of other watches, but my heart couldn't move past the BLNR.I've tried on 6-digit GMTs at an AD several times, but have gotten the chance to see a BLNR in person due to the popularity. That all changed today when this beauty arrived. It's absolutely perfect and even more gorgeous than I thought it would be. When I first put it on, I immediately knew the search is over. It just feels right, wi
