How if at all, has your taste in watches changed since being on WTF?
Hey PalsThis is the continuation of my series of twenty questions While some things remain constant, most change over time. Has your taste and appreciation of watches changed since being on WTF? I know mine have.As some of you may know, I was a total newbie this time in 2004, having only discovered what a bezel was, would you believe. Well, I had no need of such knowledge in my world and circles then. Then too I was perhaps only just discovering sports watches, initially divers as one does. I have changed many watches over the past years as I grew to discover and hopefully learn about watches. One thing that was certain back then was that chronographs had no place in my life and neither did manually-wound watches. All that has changed of course when I decided to post a thread on the Speedmaster back in September of 2006. Knowing nothing about the watch, I had to make a study of it and as a number of you may know, the moment I placed one on my wrist I knew instinctively that the Speedy

Watch maintenance
The face of my Seiko Spirit SCVS013 tends to get quite dirty. Simply wiping the face with a cloth doesn't always do the trick because some of the substances that attract to the face of the watch only come off with pressure (e.g. from my finger nail). I'm wondering: what is the correct way to wash the face of a watch? Do I need any special solution? And how often should I do it? What else should I do to keep the watch in top-shape?Also, even though the face is made of sapphire crystal, I think I might have managed to get a few small scratches on the face from daily use. Is it possible to have a watch salesmen buff out the scratches, or is it pretty much once you scratch it, it's permanent? How do you guys avoid bumping your watch into surfaces during everyday use? What do you do to make sure your watch will be in great condition for a long time?Finally, over time, can it damage a watch using a spring removal tool to switch bands out to match with outfits?Thanks.

Hey guys - first trip to Italy
Hey guys! I'm planning and preparing for my first trip to Italy in June. Planning on a few days in Rome and a few days in Florence/Tuscany. From a watch lover's perspective, is there any must do or must see things while I'm over there? I would obviously like to visit the original Panerai store, but is there anything in addition to that?Thank you for your tips!

Incoming... on the Panerai forum!
Not one of the usual on the Panerai forum, but I picked up a Pam111. My first. Arrived last night and looking great. Apologies for the terrible picture (my phone suffered and accident and it broke the camera cover....). Impressed with beauty of movement as seen through the huge display on the back!IMG-20140402-00088.jpg
