Interview with Steve Laughlin of Benarus Watches
It's no secret that the Worn&Wound staff has enjoyed the watches created by Raven and Benarus, as well as their accessories division Suppa Parts. The affiliated companies (by partners Steve Laughlin and Ralf Schreiner) are known for watches that draw from past designs as well as looks that are very original. In the past, we've reviewed the Raven Deep, Raven Vintage, Raven Deep Tech, and Benarus Megaladon and have been generally impressed with the looks, finishes and technical achievements.We had the opportunity to ask co-owner Steve Laughlin, who is based in Overland Park, Kansas, about the past of Raven/Benarus/Suppa and where the companies are heading. As always, keep on the lookout on the Raven and Benarus websites for the latest news on their releases, as certain models tend to sell out quickly with a devoted fan base.How do you and Ralf come up with your designs, which are inspired by the past yet possess unique facets that make it distinctly yours?Ralf and I will discuss our

Yacht Master problem
Hi everybody...This is the storyback in February 2012, I bought a Brand new Yacht Master 16622, from the Rolex dealer here in BoliviaI don't use the watch very often and it usually is stored in a dry and safe placeBut today I almost got an stroke, when I picked it up to wear it and I saw a very big stain in the face, like it had an oil leak (I don't know if this can happen but it looks like an oil stain) and it covers from 1 to 5, and is almost until the center of the faceUnfortunately, the watch is more tan two years old, so the warranty is no longer valid, so I guess I will have to send the watch for a deep cleaning or in the worst case a face changeThe service here is the worst in the world, so I think is better to send the watch to the U.S. or maybe Switzerland...The questions:1. Can Rolex USA fix a watch purchased in Bolivia? (anyway authorized dealer)2. Any ideas on the cost of changing the face of this watch?3. I'm going to the U.S. in september, and will be for two weeks, Is th

Patek Moment- Quick Story
Long story short- I was talking to a coworker today who said he would love to own an automatic watch one day, 'you know the kind that doesn't need a battery'. I nodded my head and smiled thinking about the millions of watches he could be referencing- from simple to grand complication..... He looked down at my watch and said, is that one of the ones that doesn't need a battery? I took my PP5167 off, handed it to him with the caseback forward so he immediately saw the movement.He had no clue what a Patek was, the name, the history, how much it was, or anything about it.But he did recognize what a rotor was, and how the watch worked, and yes it was 'the kind that doesn't need a battery'. He took a minute to stare at the detail and mechanics.... and then all he said was; this is exquisite, priceless...then handed it back to me with a smile and thanked me for showing him.Couldn't have been happier sharing that moment with a friend.Best
