The WIS Creed
The WIS Creed This is my watch. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My watch is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My watch, without me, is useless. Without my watch, I am useless. I must care for my watch and it will take care of me. I must regulate my chronometer to maintain accuracy better than any other and will position it overnight to fall within -4 to +6 seconds of variation per day. We will be COSC certified before the sun rises. We will.My watch and myself know that what counts in this world is not what other people think, the price, the number of jewels, nor the statement it makes. We know that buying the watch that makes you happy is what counts. We are happy......My watch is awesome, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will love it as a brother. I will love its weakness, its strength, its display back, its complications, water resistance rating and its lume. I will keep my watch clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.

Tryin to decide for my First..
I want to start my quest for my first pam with the movement. What are the pros and cons of ETA vs IN HOUSE? Any suggestions or opinions will be appreciated.. Thanks in advance! ⌚️⌚️

Panerai White Gold - Rhodium?
I was at a dealer this weekend who insisted that Panerai had NEVER used rhodium plating for their white gold watches. He might be right, but I thought they originally used rhodium plating, and later went to a palladium alloy. My memory was that their service centers even warned you that they would not refinish their rhodium plated watches. Cant find anything on a Google search, anyone have any details on this? I'm guessing the change was some time ago, more than 5 years. thanks, mark

My College Graduation Present
...after 20 years! I guess it is never too late. I have had a couple of modern iterations of this iconic model (SUBC and LV); but the first one I ever saw in the metal, and that introduced me to the world of Rolex was the 16610, in the mid 90s. Well, as a college student I heard stories of kids getting their nice timepieces as graduation presents, and I couldn¡¯t help but to think that I might, just might, be one of those lucky ones; however, my parents are from a different train of thought; and I actually admire and respect that. They worked very hard, saved and accomplished all they ever dreamed for their family...so, the graduation date came, and as I was getting ready for the ceremony, both of them came into my room and handed me a little box. Inside there was a very discreet, yet elegant, gold chain, with a plaque. On the back of this plaque there was a writing that said ¡°A Day To Remember.¡± Well, indeed it was! Completely forgot about that Rolex Sub that I was desperate to have.
