Vittorium AT Watches
So recently, I am on the phone with a particularly enthusiastic Italian man who is telling me about Vittorium. He speaks to me like Vittorium is his child - no his family name - in a particularly enthusiastic manner that only Italians can seem to have mastered. Vittorium is a brand that until recently was totally unknown to me. Which makes sense as there isn't a lot of advertising and more or less little presence so far in the US. Vittorium has been around for a long time actually - but only recently started to brand their own watches - prior to such being a supplier for other brands. So the Swiss brand explain by the Italian brand has my attention. And who better to convey the qualities of the watches - which themselves have an undeniably Mediterranean style to them.As almost totally Swiss made watches, the pieces have a good prices. Right now I would like to discuss their collection of watches known as the AT. The AT is segmented into four versions with a number of color combinations

Getting started Intro and a question... :-D
Hi everyone. NFG here! A few months ago I decided that I wanted to learn a new hobby so I've been scouring the library here in town, the net, and I've watched alot of Youtube videos on how to repair old mechanical wind up watches. Not to mention this is something I can do that won't take up alot of room. I'm skilled as a mechanic (locomotive and automobile) so I figure this is a natural extension to my existing skill set. I don't think I want to start collecting watches, although it is an interesting subject. I would love to know the correct terminology, proper diagnostic and repair procedures. Also how to identify what it is I may be looking at. Anyways I went and bought a crappy old Ingraham pocket watch for 10 dollars off Ebay. I doesn't run, but its complete. I figure this will make a great learning experience and for the investment, I'm not going to be upset if I destroy it on accident.. :)Looks exactly like this:For all you experienced watch fans...What items would be needed t

Changing A Watch Band
My first time doing this so just making sure, do you have to get the same measurement (mm) replacement watch band as the watches band width or do you want to go alittle bigger/smaller?Thanks

Got the call... 5164A
I was thrilled to finally get the call from my AD that a 5164 had arrived after a very long wait. To me its the perfect travel watch. It's also one of the most under the radar high end watches I have ever seen, and that was also a huge plus. This watch is a great entrance for me into the world of PP and I truly love it. The dial is amazing and it is one aspect that has to be seen in real life to truly appreciate. The travel time function is the single most useful complication for me in daily use and Patek has brilliantly executed it for this watch. Its there when you want and you can hide it when you don't want it. Plus, the push buttons on the side makes changing time zones so easy. I know there are lots of pics of this one here already, but wanted to share a few more.
