Impulse purchase, vintage Elgin pocketwatch. Help needed!
Alright, not one of my finer moments. I dunno why I fell in love for this. Maybe it's because it looks like one of my grandfather's old pocket watches (We had to sell it years ago), or it's the great looking dial.For whatever reason, I love this little pocket watch, but there's a few issues.First, I don't know how to open it!Second, it doesn't seem to run, too bad.Picked this up at a yardsale for 10$, I wish i could have gotten it for less.Until I figure out how to open the back, all you'll be able to see is the face (which looks to be in nice shape IMO, no hairline cracks or fading)

Anyone want some AP Swag
Hey guys, I got some AP swag sent my way today from my AD. He sent me a single watch travel case, a leather Italian-made AP wallet, and an AP golf hat. I never wear a hat nor do I have much use for the wallet so I figured I'd offer those two up to our fellow community of AP fans. If anyone would like either the hat or the wallet, let me know and I'll send it your way. Happy Hump Day!

Incoming Vintage Mark II
Love the shape. Amazing condition for a watch from the 70s recent omega service and replacement bracelet helps I guess. Something special about vintage Omega- love it!

Patek vs A Lange & Sohne
It wasn't until recently, less than 2 months that I got interested in Patek, so much that I ordered 1 week ago a 5712, and I have been looking since a few days into ALS, for curiosity purposes.I find many of their pieces quite fascinating, especially some which one could expect at much higher price levels are relatively well priced for the renowned quality of this brand, for example the Langematik perpetual calendar, or the Lange 1 time zone.I like that many of their models are hand wound, I love automatic watches but hand wound pieces give you a deeper relation with the watch IMO.From what I read on TRF most Patek fans put PP and ALS either on the same level of quality and craftsmanship or PP first but ALS in second.I never saw one in real but on photos they do seem to have a superior level of quality, the finish on them seems impeccable.Unfortunately even if I find them very beautiful and not too expensive for some interesting models, they are too much in the dress watch section for
