Internet Sales - A close look
from europastar.com:By Keith W. StrandbergRight now, it's the rare watch brand that sells its products on the Internet. Accepted theory is that lower priced watches can be sold on the Internet without a problem, some brands have been doing it for years, while luxury goods cannot. In fact, only a select few high-end brands currently sell on the Internet.That theory stands for now, but the Internet marketplace is growing every single day. The Internet is a convenient place where people buy all kinds of goods - books, electronics, DVDs, sporting goods and, yes, watches - and the predictions are that it will continue to grow. The steadfast refusal of the big Swiss brands to sell on the Internet will have to be revisited in the not-too-distant future.The current marketplaceWith high-end Swiss brands not authorizing sales on the web, that leaves the unauthorized dealers, grey marketers and counterfeiters with the entire market to themselves. This can't be a good thing, but it's the way it is

How does this look to you...
I was at lunch with a salesman today for some new Trust software and couldnt help but notice the watch he was wearing. So after about an hour of chit chat I snapped this pic..what do you think?...

Thursday Night Football = Patek Sighting?
Huh. Anyone watching the game tonight see the watch Ron Rivera, head coach of the Carolina Panthers, is wearing? I swear he has a 5970r on his wrist.If so, kudos to Ron. Wish I could get a screen grab for confirmation.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5131P coming in a few days??
Well I was dinner last night with some serious collectors after the Sothebys preview and I have it on good authority the 5131P is on the way with N Pole map(as I suggested to Geneva last year) and also it will come with a bracelet so it will be heavy and most likely retail around 140-150K??? For those who love snow so much this could be the one for them also.. How accurate this info and the other stuff I heard is anyone's guess but if true some interesting things on the way in Basel and later in the year.. Time will tell so dont shoot the messenger.Here is a shot of all our pieces together..

Where to buy a replacement screwdriver tip
Hi allI have a PAM423 which I have very happily been wearing and swapping straps over since I bought it a few years ago.Unfortunately I managed to snap half the tip off the end of the screwdriver end / blade this week whilst tightening up the strap screws.I can find the whole screwdriver for sale but I only need a replacement tip /blade which I expect to be a lot cheaper than the whole screwdriver. I havn't asked my supplying dealer yet, but I imagine Panerai may only provide the whole screwdriver at great expense.Does anybody where replacements can be bought at sensible cost?For the avoidance of doubt its just the black anodised tip / blade that I need like the one on the left in the pic below.Many thanks in advance.
