You're Invited: A Special Preview Of 'The Luxury Of Time: European Clocks And Watches' Exhibition At The Metropolitan Museum Of Art
It gives us great pleasure to say that we are able to offer, courtesy of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a limited number of invitations to an upcoming exhibition showcasing some of the most unusual, valuable, and remarkably beautiful timepieces ever made. "The Luxury of Time: European Clocks and Watches" preview will be held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art this Thursday, November 19th at 6:30 p.m. There will be a host of amazing, very rare and extremely historically important clocks and watches on hand, and the exhibition is being co-curated by the Met's Mrs. Clare Vincent, a 40-year veteran of the Met, and Associate Research Curator Ms. Elizabeth Sullivan.These are just a few examples of the treasures from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. Above is a stunning clockwork celestial globe, made in Vienna in around 1579; like many of the clocks and watches in the exhibition this was a gift from J. Pierpont Morgan (in this case the gift was given in 1917).

Nautilus vs Aquanaut Pictures
Hey everyone,I'm really wanting to purchase my first Patek and am having a hard time deciding if I should go with the 5711 (preferably white) or the 5167. So I thought that maybe if all of you posted some pictures of yours it could help me make my decision. Also any advise you guys have would be great. One question I do have: does the 5167 hold its value as well as the 5711? Thanks!

new to the scene
hi allIm totally newbie to the world of PAM... but ive had my head turned - and im learning what i like and what the values are with a view to buying one some time soon.ive worked thro, Breitling, omega, rolex and AP sampling the models i liked or could afford... with varying degrees of pleasure / dissapointment regarding the value retention when it comes to selling the watch on again.... (i cant keep them - i have to flip for financial reasons)so my question is - where about on the spectrum does PANERAI sit ??, referring to resale value.... (assuming i buy used from a dealer rather than new) - thanks in advance

Missing my Sub more than I thought I would
A few weeks ago I picked up a 14060M Z-serial. It's a beautiful watch and I couldn't be happier, but it was running about +15 secs/day and had a couple of scratches on the bezel and crystal, so I wanted to get it serviced and repaired as needed. RSC said they had no record of it being serviced and there weren't any indications inside the case that it had been worked on before. It's a 10-year old watch, so it's probably time.Yesterday I dropped it off at RSC Dallas and less than 24 hours later I'm missing it on my wrist more than I thought I would. I'm currently wearing a Stowa Antea Klassik KS, which is a fine watch, but it's no 5-digit Sub, that's for sure :)No real point to this post, other than crying to you fine gents since my wife won't want to listen to me talk about how I miss a watch
