Longines Admiral GMT Silver Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch L36684766

This would be so nice to have
I found a website that sold custom wheels for cars. You could put in info for your car: year, make, model, colorand then you could chose a wheel and it would show your car with those wheels on it. If only we could do that with watches and straps/bracelets. Sure would take a lot of guess work out of trying to decide on replacements.

Setting the time
I have a manual wind watch that is hard to set the time accurately - after you set the time and push in the crown the minute hand has a tendancy to jump - any ideas??thanks pjh

Problem with display back on my Omega 2254.50
Some of you may recall that I installed a Thomas Preik display back on my Explorer II. There was no problem with it other than it changed the way the watch sat on my wrist. It was not as comfortable as the original. And as the Rolex movements are not as nicely finished as most other watches, I sold the back and restored the original steel back.With the money from the sale, I ordered another display back from Thomas for my 2254.50 SMP. In error, he sent a back for a mid-size SMP. I notified him of the mistake and he immediately sent me the correct back. I returned the mid-size back to him.I installed the correct back myself and later took it to my watchmaker for pressure testing. It failed miserably. The Preik back was a half mm larger in diameter which prevented the back from sealing properly. My watchmaker offered to reduce the diameter with his lathe for a proper fit but I wanted to consult with Thomas before letting him do the work.I have now emailed Thomas four times (begi

Visit of Wempe boutique Paris
I just came back from the Wempe boutique in Paris, and saw a few pieces from ALS and Patek, I won't talk about them all but just about the 2 most interesting IMO from the ones which were there, the ALS Datograph and the PP 5980-1AR, so starting with the PP, the dial is a beauty, if it was available in SS it might be a model that I might consider one day if I decided to get another PP, but in TT not really. But to be honest between the TT 5980 and my 5712 I prefer much more mine.Now for the really interesting one, the Datograph perpetual in platinum, it was the first time I saw ALS pieces, the movement, the dial, the finition and attention to details are just great, I understand now why so many here consider that ALS and PP are on practically the same level in terms of quality and beauty.Of course there were other ALS, the Zeitwerk for example, nice piece, original, but for me a little overpriced for what it is, the other ALS models were very basic and while nice were not very appealing

Rolex DJII vs DJ41
Everyone, I am new to this site and am in need of your thoughts. I've been researching and gathering data on the DJII vs DJ41 for a long time. I am in position to purchase one or the other, both of which are blue dial smooth bezel with oyster bracelet. I honestly do not know which way to go. I generally prefer a heavier, larger dial watch with some heft. Personally I feel the DJII is slightly larger, heavier and thus wears that way on the wrist compared to the DJ41. Both movements are solid. The DJ41 feels slightly smaller to me, but the new movement and all the R&D Rolex put into it has me truly spinning. I don't think there is a wrong decision here as both are fantastic. Whichever I choose would be my first Rolex, so the history of the 3135(6) has me slightly edging in that direction. Any advice you all can put in would be much appreciated. Just to note, I have a great relationship with a Rolex AD and he has been trying to weigh in without being biased. I don't know h
