Pan 00673
Hi all,Not seen much posted online about the Panerai 673 so thought I'd put a few pics of mine on for anyone who's interested.Basically a limited edition (1000pieces) based around the 372.Same 47mm case as the 372 but with a few alterations. Main differences as far as I can see are as follows - 'Marina Militare' on the dial as opposed to 'Luminor Panerai'different hands - slightly longer with 'pencil tips'altered P3000 movement with split bridge detailgorgeous 'Ponte Vecchio' calf leather strap that photos really don't do justice to! And that's about it really!Anyway, a few photos of the watch...RegardsMax

Current duo...looking to add Pam 560

14060 U Serial Dial Question
I have a U serial 14060. It has the T<25 dial...but I think it's got luminova plots. I was reading the Submariner History iPhone app and it mentioned transitional dials with the T<25 marking that had luminova plots. Dubious that my watch fell into that category, I held it under my lamp for a few seconds...and sure enough, it lit up like a Christmas tree. I always thought it was tritium, so I never really paid attention. I'm mildly annoyed, because I was excited to watch my plots patina over time. I guess mine will stay pearly white. Anyone have any experience with a transitional dial like this? I hadn't heard of it until today. Hmmmmm....

For years now, I��ve been reading U.K. shortages...
It never made sense to me. Rolex wants to sell watches. When China was on fire with sales, China had tons of watches for sale. Often the lowest price in the world when factoring in currency conversions to CHF. I've been reading for many years about constant short supply in U.K. Makes me wonder if this is a game all the dealers do in the U.K. to drive up hype and demand. I mean it would greatly be in Rolex's favor to sell as many watches as possible. I know the Brexit currency crash has had something to do with recent times but even when the pound was high, Rolex's at ADs was low. What is your theory/thoughts?

Date change/sign of service need?
Hello everybody,Long time lurker in need of a little perspective. This subject has been posted here ad nauseam (I read most of the threads before posting this) but I didn’t quite find an answer to this:I recently purchased a GMT Master II 16710 from 1991 from a very reputable dealer on the west coast. Watch runs perfectly, very stable, not slow nor fast. I’m currently in Europe and because of the time difference I happened to be awake to hear the date change a few nights ago. When I looked, it wasn’t midnight but 12:14 and it’s been consistent every single night at the same time. Since it’s consistent and the watch is running fine, I’m assuming that the watchmaker who last serviced it, wasn’t careful enough to set the minute hand properly. My question is: despite the watch running well, could this lateness in the date change (consistent and all) be an indication of deteriorating lubrication? The dealer has offered to have his watchmaker adjust
