CO-AXIAL Service Advantage ?
I stumbled upon George Daniels the inventor of co-axial.He said that It is intended to sustain the public affection for the mechanical watch during the 21st century.I own a Rolex and has yet to own an Omega.It is not my intention to have a Rolex vs Omega thread but rather focus on the wonders of George Daniels' invention. The co-axial which uses a three palette fork instead of the traditional two.My question is Has co-axial lived up to it's promise as a more robust escapement requiring lesser maintenance/service?Thank you fro your replies

Setting time issue
Hi!I think there is a problem with my Panerai (328) but wanted to confirm since it's been in for repair 2 times without anything being done to it. Each time I get it back they said nothing is wrong and it's functioning as normal.When I set the time I pull out the crown change the minutes then use the lever to push the crown back in the watch will run for a few seconds and then just stop. At first I would redo it a few times, stopping each time and eventually it wouldn't stop and would run normally.Since the last repair they suggest that the watch isn't fully charged and that I do some manual winding before setting it. Since trying this it seems the problem is better but wanted to get an understanding if this is normal? I do wear it everyday and don't really feel that this solution makes any sense but wanted to see what you guys thought?Thanks!

Some questions..thanks in advance....
Hi friendsI would like to know what all models Panerai hand wound but that the movement is not in house Panerai but other mechanisms that I think your brand is ETA. Someone could helpe me? I think they are the 000/005/111/104 do not know if there are others.That mechanism has 001 Firenze? Hand wound? As the 564? And what was your price list?Thank you.

Looking for some ideas for my new 312.

Fat Lady GMT bracelet
Close to 4 years ago, I sent a well worn GMT Fat Lady into Rolex Canada for a full restoration. https://.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=342110Some members were horrified that I would molest an older classic. I had no regrets then and none today. I end up with a pristine GMT that I will probably never sell. It is still almost as cherry as when it came back and I almost forgot I had them return the original bracelet to me. They disassembled it, polished and cleaned it. It looks like new save for a teeny-weeny dent in one of the end links. Had I known how nicely it would clean up I might not have replaced it.It's just sitting in the suede bag and I was wondering what value should be placed on it? As mentioned, It has the end links (restored as well)It has a little stretch but it looks like new after they restored it. As mentioned, it has the end links as well. Might be short a link or two. I know people will say don't break up the set but the originality of the watch is not that important t
