Panerai Introduces Entry-Level Luminor 8 Days Watches with P.5000 Movement
Ever since the release of last year¡¯s Luminor Marina 8 Days (PAM 510) with the new in-house P.5000 movement, there has been talk of Panerai discontinuing its entry-level Luminor models. The PAM 510 is a doppelganger of the PAM 111, with the exception of the words ¡°8 Days¡± on the dial and the movement underneath, the two watches are practically identical.At this point, it is worth talking a bit about this new P. 5000 movement, which only debuted last year. First and foremost, this is a hand-wound movement that is comprised of 127 components and beats at 3Hz or 21,600bph. The movement, like most other Panerai in-house movements, is fairly large at 15? lignes, but this is necessary because, as you know, Panerai makes large watches.

Such a configuration allows longer, thinner springs to be used, giving it its long power reserve.This year, Panerai is releasing five new Luminor model

Another Elginigma
There's a listing on the Swamp - 260879621803 - for an Elgin Deluxe that purports to have a 559, 21j movement. That would be the wrong movement for that case (should be the 17j 558), but the real problem is that the movement, particularly the train bridge, looks funny.Here's what a 21j Elgin 15/0 movement looks like:That's the 538, predecessor to the 559. Notice the three oval cap jewel settings on the escape, 3rd, and 4th wheels. Those things are inletted and there's a screw that comes in from underneath the bridge to hold the setting in place. They're a PITA to put in, BTW.The watch in the listing is billed as a 559, it says '559' and '21 jewels', but instead of the hole-and-cap jewelling of the 559, it's got standard hole jewels (with the oil cup on top), NO inletting, and NO holes for the screws. I realize this is one of those weird little things that like 5 guys in the whole world know or care about, but I'm mystified. Even if you replaced the jewels on a 559 with standard j

Glycine crazy lume!

Serena Williams..
spotted wearing her watch about 3h ago for her WTA Finals clash with Eugenie Bouchard.She wore it throughout the entire match (lasted 57min).I'm no AP expert, but is it the ROO? Is she the official ambassador for AP now?Whatever it is, she certainly nailed the is it safe to wear your AP for a tennis match? question.. oh, you could see the watch here.. .wtafinals/article/wil...g-ways/4240826
