Advice before my 2-year warranty expires?
I have a Datejust that I bought in 2010 with the very helpful advice of people on this forum (thanks!). The two-year warranty is about to expire next week, and I'm wondering if there's any covered service I should be thinking about before it does?The watch is in good shape except that it consistently runs about 10 seconds fast per day. This is more than the -4/+6 COSC standard. Do you know if adjustment would be covered by the warranty, or if not about how much that should cost?Also, do you know if checking the water-tight seals would be covered, or if not about how much that should cost?Thanks very much!

The WWI"LATH" Trench Watch Crystal Guard turns 100 Years Old!
100 years ago this Sunday marks the centennial for one of the most iconic WWI crystal guards ever made, the Lath Guard.On January 17, 1916 a gentleman named Harry Daw filed a patent application with the United States Patent Office for a "protector for wrist watches".His patent application was later granted on December 11, 1917.Mr. Daw used the word "LATH" several times in the description of his invention so that is what it is called today, pretty simple.Mealy Manufacturing would come out with their version of this guard down the road and they called theirs "The Warrior".There are slight differences between the "Lath" and the "Warrior" guards, mainly the lug design and the number of laths used per size on the guards."Lath" or "Warrior" guards are rarely seen putting them on the top tier of the collectibility shelf, they also carry a pretty hefty price tag.I have had the privilege of having a few of them come across my work bench over the years.These trench watch crystal guards were avai

Regretfully: More thoughts on Ref 5320G
Only a few short weeks ago we all saw the release of the perpetual calendar 5320G and my first reaction was not good! In fact you may have read about my initial gut reaction here... Now, I'm suddenly starting to come around to the overall look of the watch. What's wrong with me?? untitled.jpgThe vintage look of the watch definitely has something to do with it as I like classic watches. In fact some of my fellow forum member friends call me an old man although I am not even in my 40s yet! The similarities (no offense to the purists!) with the grail reference 3450 is likely another culprit. I was lucky enough to handle a 3450 that Mr. Bain had a couple of years ago and it is magic with incredible elegance and simplicity. Sadly these are not within striking range for the time being.3450.jpgWhether one could live with the incredible amount of luminous material on the dial of the 5320, the syringe hands (which are certainly an acquired taste), the larger case and the less than impressive vi

which should I keep, 233 spot dial, or 028 limited edition, need help
I am the happy owner of two special Pams, the 233 K version spot dial, which is the last and most reliable of spot dials, and the 2009 special edition Pam 028, limited to 1000 pieces, I got both brand new never used for a good price, 8200 euros for the 233 and 7200 euros for the 028, but I won't be able to keep both, so I need some help from you guys to make up my mind, as one of them will be in a safe so that it is brand new when I sell it, which won't be in the near future, but when I do I'll be sure to talk about it here.This first link is to the Pam 028 on panerai's website.panerai/images/prodot...M028_FRONT.jpgThe back is plain as you can see on panerai's site, so nothing special there, movement is a soprod, which basically is an ETA movement with the soprod module for power reserve added, good movement but from what I understand Panerai didn't do anything to it as decoration or improvement.Here you have the photos for the 233 spot dial, in all 4500 where produced before they pass
