Hands-On: The Ultra-Rare Panerai Bronze 1000 Meter Prototype, Coming Up At Christie's New York T
One of the most unusual watches we’ve seen in a while is this bronze prototype – rated to 1000 meters’ water resistance – made by Officine Panerai in the mid-1980s, as part of a project to develop dive watches for the Diver Corps of the Italian Navy; the watch is going up for auction this week from Christie’s. It’s a pretty rare bird, but for our money what really takes it to the next level is that it’s a fantastic example of how utilitarian design can, when pushed far enough, transcend itself and produce something really exciting aesthetically, which is fundamentally what the appeal of Panerai is all about. 1 OF 4 Before getting into aesthetics, just from the standpoint of objective rarity and historical importance, it’s a pretty remarkable piece and would probably attract a great deal of attention. The story goes that in the early '80’s, Panerai’s chief of mechanical engineering, the famous Mr. Alessandro B

Need help decoding watchmakers marks.
Got my first vintage watch, a 1940 Hamilton (case is inscribed with a name and 12-25-40). I opened the caseback and there are several etched numbers that I assume are from when watchmakers cleaned the movement over the years. Example: AB121454, I'm guessing was the initials of the watchmaker and the date, ie 12/14/54. But, the other numbers have me stumped. Examples: S17767-,20052-,20545-,21032-,01900B, 24337, F25052, H2RCA. Note the dashes are actually dashes, not illegible numbers. Anyone know what these mean? I'd like to try to learn the history of this watch. Thank you!

Do I have the best spouse EVER . . .
Found this under the Christmas tree. I've never mentioned it and have no idea how he picked it out, but WOW.

What do you tell your friends
So I wore the 5167 out on the town on Friday night for some drinks and dancing with friends. In doing so, I created some interesting dance moves to keep people from banging into my watch lol. But anyways, one of my friends was noticing my attire and asked what kinda shirt/pants/shoes I was wearing...then he noticed the watch and asked what kind of watch it was. After I mentioned it was a Patek, having no idea what it was, he asked... and how much was it? My question is, do you guys tell people how much your watches really cost, or do you tell a little white lie to keep from alienating them? I hate getting the statements like why would you buy something like that? or if I had that money I would....blah blah blahIm pretty sure Im not the only one who has to deal with this...so what do you guys do?
