24hr hand on GMT II
On the GMT II Should the green 24 hr hand be sync'ed to the hour hand, in other words if it is 9am the green hand would be on the 9 position on the bezel (when the bezel is centred on the 12 o'clock) and then at 9pm the green hand would be on the 21 position on the bezel??So at 6am the green hand would be on the 6 position of the bezel and 6pm on the 18 position of the bezel. It is 6pm exactly now and my green hand is in the 15 position on the bezel (between the 7&8 indices on the dial)??It appears to show that the hands are sync'ed in the illustrations in the instruction booklet.Confused or have I got a rogue GMT

Gruen Curvex General, 14K, 48mm
Another example from the vault not part of my regular wardrobe because it is too mint to risk very often. There are quite a few Curvexes on Ebay, but most are modern recreations. When it comes to an early Curvex, people normally look for long, curved, solid gold, with the original 311 or slightly later 330 movement. Some of the most desirable and earliest cases from 1936 are not marked as made by Curvex or with the typical Gruen numerical nomenclature commonly found on later Gruen cases.. The Curvex Ceneral was introduced for Christmas 1936. My example has a solid 14K case made by Katz and Ogush, a New York jewelry firm who made some high end gold and platinum cases for Gruen. Their "mark" is a stylized K&O. (It's the same firm that eventual Gruen President Benjamin Katz would come from.) It has the 311 movement and the case is 48mm long when measured straight from lug tip to lug tip MUCH longer when measured around the huge curve of the case. (Over 60mm, I think.) Sa

Orient Mako II
I'm new to this forum and I truly enjoy watch talk. I've owned a number over the years from Bulova, to Casio, Invicta, to Cartier with a Rolex Sub thrown in at one point. I am by no means an expert but I love watches. I received this Orient Mako II for Christmas and I am in love. The quality at this price point is unbelivable. One of the best watches I seen at below $200.

Flip a 5205G for a Journe?
I've never totally bonded with the 5205G black dial. Seems to have a jumbled personality. Elegant case that wears smaller than the size but with a sporty dial. Large dauphine hands which suit a dress watch but on a two-tone sector dial. From what I've seen the 5205R black works best with the lacquer dial and gives the watch a complete identity but unfortunately not for me. What say you to a trade with a little cash coming my way for the new FP Journe Octa Lune, Salmon dial. Either 40mm or 42mm. Is the salmon color too out there?(I own a 5726 white dial so I have a Patek AC. Pic of 5205G borrowed). Thanks in advance.patek_zps797589b8.jpg20150903_114013_resized.jpg

Which would you choose - 5235g or 5170g?
Just wondering as I think both watches are very appealing, and very different at the same time. I don't think one can go wrong with either model, and a lot will come down to personal preference. If you have to choose between the 5235g regulateur or 5170g chronograph, which one would you choose? Curious to see what everyone's thoughts are.
