Glashutte Original PanoMaticInverse Automatic Watch
For 2014 Glashutte Original will finally release a new version of the famed PanoInverse XL from 2008 called the PanoMaticInverse. The concept today is the same as it was in 2008, and is one that has been followed by other brands such as Arnold & Son with their TB88. The "inverse" part of the PanoMaticInverse name refers to the fact that the dial of the watch is meant to look like what is normally the rear of the watch - with typical Cotes de Geneve finishing as well as the balance wheel.It makes for an interesting hybrid design as the dial is a mixture of elements you'd normally find on a timepiece dial as well as the look of a movement. To do this Glashutte Original needed to develop an entirely new family of movements which is continued in the new Calibre 91-02. Unlike the manually wound movement in the original PanoInverse, the 91-02 is an automatic - hence being part of the "PanoMatic" collection.At 42mm wide, this is a "full size" Glashutte Original "Pano" watch that has been

Why should or shouldn't I buy a Longines HydroConquest?
Hi, I'm new to the forum, and I've only posted one other time. I'm looking to buy a new watch. I think I've settled on the 41mm automatic black aluminum bezel HydroConquest. I would very much welcome feedback on the watch.What I am looking for from this particular watch purchase is as follows:1. Dressy enough to wear with business casual clothing and the occasional suit and tie (I already wear a Conquest Heritage 40mm gold watch for formal occasions).2. Casual enough to wear with jeans and shorts in the summer.3. Durable enough for every day wear, the occasional swim, and the occasional hike (for heavy recreational activities, I already wear a Seiko Black Knight).4. Longevity enough to have for the next 20 years as an everyday watch.5. Unique enough looking that it is not a typical "homage" watch.From my research it appears that the HydroConquest I am considering is well suited to these objectives. What are your thoughts? Why should I buy it? Why shouldn't I buy it?

What a beaut!
I swung by the Omega Boutique in Tysons Corner, VA today to check out a potential watch for my wife for an upcoming anniversary. The first thing that caught my eye besides reason for the visit was the 18K Speedy Chrono 9300 with black leather strap. That watch is stunning in real life.While I was waiting for them to bring a watch from the back, I asked to check out the 42mm Planet Ocean, a watch I've been back and forward about because a few minor details, but the sales person (very knowledgeable and professional by the way, great brand ambassador) pulls out the 42mm titanium PO. Wow!!!I was previously apprehensive about getting a blue dial watch, but this one is stunning. Luckily enough it is not a strong cobalt-blue-like color but much more conservative and regal. It looks almost dark grey or black in certain lighting. Very classy!The weight, fit and feel was just awesome. I was wearing my DSSD on a NATO strap, needless to say this thing felt like air. Much more comfortable and reaso

Men's Jubilee/president and Lady DateJust screws
Does anyone know which screwdriver size is needed to adjust a jubilee/president bracelet on a men's DateJust/Day Date and also the oyster and jubilee on a lady DateJust. I am assuming they are not the same 1.6mm size screws as the men's oyster due to the much smaller links?
