Historical Perspectives: A Look At The Horological Society Of New York, Owners Of A Unique Watchmaking Library, And The Oldest Horological Society In The United States
Twenty-one years ago the Bulova School of Watchmaking in New York City closed its doors. As the staff was cleaning and packing, they came across an extensive library of horological books and ephemera. Some of the books were hand-bound in leather, adorned in gold leaf, with personal dedications from the authors. Others were extremely old, dating from the 18th century. In addition, they found hand-calligraphed meeting minutes and accounting records. All of these items comprised an incredible horological resource and they were not sure what to do with them. The staff needed to be out of the building at the end of the day and hand over the keys. Urgent calls were made and that same day a large van arrived to retrieve the library. The books were quickly piled into the van and driven off. Storage was found in NYC’s Upper West Side and the library was locked away for decades. 2 OF 14 The library in question is one of the largest collections of rare horological texts in the

Panerai 351 hacking seconds

the scratching of a bezel
I am almost embarrassed to post this because it is so minor. That said.... I have a very minor hairline scratch on a DateJust 41 fluted bezel. I am posting a picture of how people will see it. In other words, showing how no one else will ever notice the scratch when its on my wrist. It is just to the left of the 9. I am then posting a close up of it. Otherwise known as how it looks when I stare obsessively at it under a bright light.Here is my issue: I am guessing there are going to be plenty of scratches and dings to come. I would not seek to fix this now. It is far, far too minor. That said, in 7 years or so when I go to get this serviced are these the types of tiny damage areas that Rolex can polish and buff out? It is a watch and I intend to enjoy it so this is not haunting my soul. It is not meant to sit safely in a safe under lock and key protected from the world. I would just like some affirmation that down the road these types of scratches can be fixed easily.It is
