Ulysse Nardin GMT Perpetual 38.5mm

BEST FROM: watches-dealer and Friends August 2nd
To kick off August, we spend some time with the new Tudor Heritage Chronograph to see if it lives up to its hype. We also find out why another Tudor, the Pelagos, is the perfect ¡°one¡± watch; learn how one becomes a watchmaker; attempt to explain why watches cost what they do, and more.1. Memoirs of a Watchmaker: Coming of Age With HorologyHow does one begin to become a watchmaker? Well, apparently, it begins with really menial and mind-numbing tasks such as learning how to look through the loupe with both eyes open and learning to pick up tiny parts with tweezers without dropping and losing them. An interesting read or maybe a warning call for those who aspire to be a watchmaker.Source:?watches-dealer2. My First Grail Watch: Jeff HessMaybe it¡¯s just me, but whenever I meet like-minded watch enthusiasts, I always ask what¡¯s their grail watch. You know, that one watch that they lust over and desire far more than any others. I think it says a lot about what kind of person he or she is. My

Please identify the Model and Year of this Hamilton watch.
I am hoping the picture provides enough information. I have found many watches from the Wesley collection that were close to this one, but the second hand section was always slightly different. Thanks for any help!I will check the post to see if the attachment went through asap.

RG 44 dining at The Ritz
We've had some talk that the 44 ROOs can't easily be worn with a suit so I thought I'd wear my RG to the fanciest of dinners; Puttin' on the Ritz. It fit just fine under a normal shirt and suit and I completely forgot I was wearing the watch the entire time. However this was part due to the most wonderful dining experience. The dining room is majestic and makes you feel like a prince, but then the glorious food and impeccable and friendly service had me elevated to feeling like a king. I also ordered a dish off the menu, my favourite, and they made it specially for me and even with no supplementary charge. It was a Tournedos Rossini, a filet steak topped with foie gras and black truffles. It happened to be the fave of the sommelier too, word had got around of my special order, and he was so excited to see it he actually brought my dish out and removed the cloche himself to present it to me.

Incase it helps with the usual 5711/15202 decision
I wrote to ap and patek, asking about how their watch would hold up in comparison to a rolex for persuits such as gym, swim, dive, saunas and steam rooms. I explained being experienced with omega and rolex yet wanting something more special, just that I was concerned about if they need babying....Patek saidWith regards to the 5711/1A this piece was initially produced as a divers watch, it is water resistant to 120m. In the realm of divers watches, such as the Rolex or Omega equivalent, the nautilus is more than a match for them. with its screw down crown and porthole design it is has been engineered to be used in water, and other testing environments. I hope you enjoy the 5711 when you receive it and you will find with timepiece very comfortable and light when swimming.Ap said the Royal Oak ref. #15202 has a water resistance of 50m. The timepiece is resistant to splashes (when showering or washing your hands), or surface immersion (swimming).However, please remember that temperature

Rolex Explorer Lume
The lume only lasts for 10 minutes after charging it for 30 seconds... does anyone know which models has lume lasting up to 8 hours? Not buying for the lume but it is a neat perk if it is able to go the distance at night...Sent from my SM-G955W using Tapatalk
