Breaking News: Steel Patek 5016 At Only Watch Sells For 7.3M CHF, Becomes The Highest Priced Wristwa
If you’ve been following HODINKEE lately, you probably know that this is a big weekend in the watch auction world. And the watch that has probably attracted the most attention is Patek Philippe’s contribution for Only Watch, a piece unique 5016 in steel. Why?

Does anyone make a Deployant clasp for Panerai that doesn't suck?
I hate my PAM 104 deployant clasp. It's curved so great it digs into my wrist. I bought a Panerai brand normal non-deployant buckle and a couple straps, but now I can't wear the old straps since the deployant buckle is terrible and straps aren't cross compatible.
