The Complete Guide To The Patek Philippe Reference 3417 Amagnetic
One of the most interesting watches made by Patek Philippe during the middle of last century are those that we can call "Amagnetic." These rare references feature additional inner case backs, and in some cases, anti-magnetic escapement components such as solid gold or beryllium to ensure the timekeeping was not affected by any magnetism in close proximity to the watch. Now you might be thinking "hey, that's just like the Rolex Milgauss!" and you're right. It's also a lot like IWC's Ingenieur, and JLC's Geophysic. You see, the Amagnetic Pateks were really the great manufactures first and only foray into what we often call "tool" watches. 2 OF 3 And while the Amagnetic Pateks (3417 in steel, 2570 in gold) have always had a cult following, we've seen an increased interest in them by a whole new breed of buyers in the past years. We thought we had seen results hit fever pitch when last December, a 3417 sold for almost $50,

About this vintage Hamilton .......
Ok, here's the watch......( which is setting, winding and running very well)well, there it is .....I love the NOS band I put on it, but as you can see, the poor thing is in lamentable condition .....the case isn't bad, othe4r than the scratches on the front ...errrr., being gold filled, there isn't a lot I can do about that right ? ......anyway, the rest of the case is not too bad, and the movement is rather nice looking I think, and like I said runs well.......oh and by the way, is this a good movement of Hamiltons????but it's the case and the crystal,.....what you can't see is the wavyness of the crystal, as if someone tried to buff out scratches, and ended up melting the crystal ....eeesh, and the dial, well, I do think this could be helped by a re-dial.....this will be a watch I sell at the markets, and I am hoping that putting a further 80 to 100 into it, ( I paid 24 for it) that i can get a much higher price than I could if I just left it as it is ......Whatchu guys think ?

Audemars Annual Calendar
This AP annual calendar in SS seems like a great deal. Any members know the history or have more info on this watch. It appears to be good bang for the buck.

How many bracelet links on a 15300ST ?
Hi,Does anyone know how many bracelet links a new AP 15300ST has?I'm asking because I can buy a used 15300ST, but I'm not sure it still has all the links (and the current owner also doesn't know). I count 22 links on this watch (see picture), but I think a new watch has more??Fyi, my wrist is around 7.5inch so I fear it might not fit...Thanks in advance!

My one complaint about the 5164....
Hello everyone here at TRF! I've been mulling over this post for some time wondering if I should even start a thread like this. I am a person who always tries to focus on the good aspects of people and things and ignore the negatives. That is especially true when discussing an item like a Patek Philippe watch which is truly as close to perfection as one can expect from a man-made item. All that said, I am really struggling to get past one issue with the watch that is driving me up the wall.....the incredibly loud (relatively speaking) rotor noise.Now I know this issue has been raised before. For whatever reason, the 324 movement is a noisy movement. Now, I have owned the 5167 Aquanaut in the past and it seems that the movement in the 5164 is even more noticeable and it's really taking away from my enjoyment of the watch. As a matter of fact, I was in a meeting the other day. The room was somewhat quiet as someone was presenting. When suddenly the guy sitting next to me said he
