Ulysse Nardin GMT Perpetual 40mm

GMT Master IIc need to be in a winder?
Sorry for the silly question, but I find somehow that the date adjusting in this watch can cause too much wear, considering that if I have to change the date from let's say 2 to 20 when the watch is stopped for a long time, I have to spin the crown many many times, as this watch changes the date turning the hour hand 24 hours for each day change...Or am I doing something wrong? any advice?

Your intro to Patek...
This thread is about when you first became aware of PP watches - not when you first owned one. For me it was in my teens in early high school when I would see ads for PP watches in the WSJs my dad would bring home from work. The Calatravas even in those old black and white WSJ ads were so beautiful I knew that one day I would want to wear my own. This was the year it happened for me, some 4 decades after I first saw one in pictures. What was your first intro to Patek watches?

Submariner vibration and noise, help please.
Hi friends of this awesome forum.I need your help because I m worried.I m using a Submariner for 5years and 1 month non stop, day, night, holidays, work, sports.....everyday 24 hours x 5 years and 1month.Time is very good, only 2minutes more per month.1 week ago I began to listen a sound and a vibration. When I shake the watch in vertical position, the watch makes a sound.In horizontal position, no sound.When I m using the watch I feel a vibration sometimes, and listen the sound kind of rrrrr, not very loud, but I m little obsessed with it., like a pendolum kicking the wall of the watch. When I shake my hand.I dont want to spend money in a service, I m angry with Rolex because service is very expensive.What can I do? Any experiences? Opinions plz....thanks a million,Apologies for my bad english.Greetings from Chile,

GMT 16710: Vanessa's work, in progress, big pics
Hi Folks,I bought this beautiful GMT Master II Pepsi (F series, ~2004, no holes, SEL), and while it arrived looking fantastic albeit with an aftermarket bezel insert, it was not running well at all. But the watch, bracelet, movement, etc. are all genuine, so I sent it to Vanessa to do a thorough service and repair, inside and out.Turns out it needs quite a lot of work, as it had been tended to by a hack previously, who did more harm than good. But, Rolex being Rolex, and Vanessa being Vanessa, it can be repaired to perfect running condition. Some of the work and parts replaced include:-full overhaul with new mainspring-new driving wheel-new rotor axle-new great wheel-new tube-new crown-new pepsi bezel insert-various new screws-probably add'l parts I don't yet know ofPretty significant work, but all doable by Vanessa with genuine Rolex parts. Vanessa has been amazing, she's communicated with me via phone and text (my preference) and sent me many photos of the damaged parts that requi
