Panerai PAm 74 - 40 mm Steel Titanium Chrono

I finally bought my tt blue dial sub!!!
Hello Friends,The news is true, I finally bought myself a brand new Z-Serial TT Blue Dial Sub, my elusive 16613. I have had an off and on love affair with this watch for the past, oh I dunno, 8-10 years? Makes me wish I purchased before the last price hike, but oh well. The story is really simple actually. My wife and I went into my favorite local AD here at home to get my wedding ring polished up and engraved. I slid on over to the Rolex counter, my salesman showed me the 16613, and the rest is history! The wife approved the purchase, oddly enough, with a smile on her face! I have come close to buying this watch about 3 times now, in various other locations (vacations, etc.). But, I never walked away with one. This time, though, my lucky stars aligned and I got to purchase. I am so overjoyed when I think about it - like my never-ending search is finally over. The 16613 has quickly earned prime placement in my winder - it brings a smile to my face every time I see it. It i

Project Watch Club - The Hamilton Brent (repost from GDF)
Again, a repost concerning my Hamilton Brent-B from the General Discussion Forum. Thought there may be interest here for obvious reasons... Enjoy!BYou may have seen my recent post about a watch I refinished for my boss (Hamilton Paige). As mentioned in that post, it was a lot of fun to see a neglected and non-working watch turn into something special. Also noted in that post was another project watch completed at the same time - a Hamilton Brent-B (1952).It is no secret, I am a Hamilton guy. I like the modern Hamiltons and have my share. My interest in the vintage Hamiltons is growing. I am trying to pace myself and find a particular interest, not just "old Hamilton" watches. Truth be told - this watch was not even on the radar for me. But honestly, wouldn't you buy your namesake watch as a WIS? I remember thinking, "Really? There is a watched called 'Brent'?""It was one of those things that a routine search pulled up - and I hadn't seen one before. It was obvious that this

Seiko kinetics and Citizen Eco-Dirves 40 years
Hi,I read somewhere in internet (I cannot find the page from I got this information from) that both Seiko (kinetics) and Citizen (eco-drives) are been tested to last working continuously for 40 years and even by then the internal battery still getting charges up to 80% of its initial capacity. Furthermore I've read that the only thing that prevent the watch from working continuously for another 40 years is due the internal oils needed for some parts lubrication don¡¯t last that long.Can that be true?

15202ip worth the premium?
tried my friends' 15202st and liked the look and feeling on the wrist. Even though the build quality is not great(if you ever forget to take off before a golf game you'll find out soon enough), and the date adjusting on the ancient caliber is a heahache, I like the watch nevertheless. Saw the 15202ip on this year's SIHH. The price though is so much higher than the regular model from the grey market dealers. Wonder which one would you all vote for?

Worth it?
Hello everyone. From coming home from work I ventured into one of the gold stores to look at some watches. I was supprised to find this Tudor Daydate Prince watch for only $750. I realized the day was stuck on it and after teling them they said they would definitely fix that before purchase. The bracelet does have some considerable stretch, but otherwise it seemed to be in good condition. Is this a good price for this watch? I hear a lot about this watch being hard to obtain, is it? And should i trust their ability to fix the day wheel? https://m.imgur/gallery/QvGAYSD
