Wyler Tourbillon WT3: The First Poin?on du Jura Watch
Wyler Gen��ve’s WT3 Tourbillon is the first timepiece to be produced under the new Poin?on du Jura quality label. To meet the Poin?on du Jura criteria, a movement must be 100% Swiss made, and at least 90% of the components must be made in the Jura �C the heart of Switzerland's watchmaking industry. The movement must also be produced by a company that is independent from any watchmaking group. The plates and bridges for the skeletonized WT3 tourbillon movement are produced individually from blocks of raw material, with no mass production stamping involved. The WT3's flying tourbillon completes one rotation every 60 seconds from a balance operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour and its manually-wound movement offers a 72-hour power reserve.The new WT3 models are available with the patented shock-absorbing Code-R case in matt black ceramic or 18-carat white gold. Inside this sandwich case, the movement is housed in a titanium container suspended on springs inside a carbon fiber frame

Questioning the durability of the Aquanaut???...
Put your fears to rest. From time to time here on TRF, I would see posts from members who love the Aquanaut but questioned if it was tough enough to truly act as a sport watch. Well, I wanted to share a story of a recent trip where I put my Aquanaut through its paces.A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to get away to Telluride, Colorado with my wife to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. I knew this trip would include a variety of outdoor activities as well as elegant dinning in some of the areas finest restaurants, so I wasn't sure which watch to bring along for such a diverse week. As I looked through my jewelry drawer I noticed my Rolex, JLC, AP, Lange, and Casio G-Shock and debated on which ones to bring along. Then it hit me��..I decided to select only one watch, my Patek Philippe Aquanaut. With such a versatile design, I thought it would be a perfect choice!Over the course of the 5 days in Colorado, my 5167 accompanied me on activities such as camping, hiking up 12,

Panerai newbie looking for 1st model
I've been looking at them for some time & I think I want one. If I do get one it will be preowned. My dilemma there seems to be way too many different models. I've been looking at titanium models with brush bezels. Since I don't own any titanium watches I also like how titanium seems to be a little more grey than SS. I'm not opposed to a SS model as long as it were all brushed. I know I don't want a date model with the cyclops. Basicly school me or point me in the right direction to school myself!! Thanks in advance

Size matters!
I know that a lot of people don't get Panerai. The company has taken some self-inflicted flak through the odd marketing faux-pas and a sometimes crazy pricing strategy, and I've heard a few people write the brand off on the basis that <em>all</em> of their models are ugly. Well, I'm no fanboy (hmmm... maybe I am, just a little) but I do think I've been very fortunate to have owned the much vaunted Luminor 233, and to still possess its equally sublime Radiomir cousin, the 268. These watches are wonderful, both in terms of the majesty of the three-barrelled, 8 day in-house movements and the very obvious build quality. What I've learned, though, is that for my relatively slim wrists the Radiomir range gives me a more comfortable fit.The 268 is a 45mm watch, and whilst this is mitigated by the Radiomir lug design its still a relatively hefty beast. This, and some of the recent threads I've read over on TZ-UK regarding the smaller 42mm designs, prompted me to think seriously abo
