Polishing Product
Thought I'd try something different. Had a couple of gold colored watches laying around. A Benrus, and a Tissot 516. Both from the 60's. Both had some discoloration on the cases. Broke out a can of Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish that I use on the Harley's aluminum and chrome. This is a slightly abrasive polish, sort of like a mild rubbing compound. If you use it on dull aluminum, eventually the aluminum will look like chrome. I'll take a little dab on a cloth and rub it on the metal and then buff it with a soft towel. The first towel will turn black from the metal being cleaned. So, I tried it on the two "gold" cases and it worked great!!!! The can says "perfect for all metals." I then tried it on the clasp on my AirKing. I used it sparingly and it removed the light scratches and brought the clasp to a very shiny gloss. If you have a brushed or dull finish (and want it to stay that way) I wouldn't use this product as it is slightly abrasive and will make the surface look shiny like ch

Wittnauer and Butex Just Got Here.......
I have been slotting each watch I just got inbto it's correct sub-forum, leaving these 2 with no place to go except here........The first is this wonderful Wittnauer......I love this watch .........I know it's not in good condition, the dial is funky, and the case is slightly dented , and the gold is wearing off, ( someone loved this watch too) but the band is orginal, "Styled Wittnauer" written on the catch...and it's only a 15 jewel watch, and the movement isn't as clean as most ......but none of that matters .......I love the way it looks ......I suspect it's from the 30 ?......anyone else have an idea about that .....oh and it is a man's watch ......then there's this very funky Butex.....but I do love the red arrow second hand .....I can't get the back off so I have no other infor on it....the case is well worn, the crystal is scratched, but that's a great sweep second hand ......but I know nothing about Butex.....

Breitling B01 Movement
What do you think of the new B01 in-house movement? Is it a step in the right the direction for the watch company.

Patek vs. Lange
Not my intention to get folks riled up over this, just hoping we can have a nice objective chat. Of course I'm well aware of Patek's history and why people love them, but I'm also aware of Lange's existence and can't help but wonder why someone might chose a Patek over a Lange. I'm hoping you more experienced folks can help me understand. A Patek will likely always win out insofar as bragging rights go with the general public, no doubt. It's got much broader recognition, while Lange will only really be recognized by true horology buffs, but is brand recognition the only reason to buy a wawtch? To me, Lange's, while cheaper (relative to the comparable Patek), seem to feature finishes and movements which are just on another level. But I aspire to own both and am not bashing Patek in any way, just trying to understand each brands place, especially when they offer several similar offerings.
