On the surface, you have a pretty darn funny place that ironically combines Amish lifestyle with luxury timepieces, as well as a deeper element of social commentary on the arguably absurd and socially irresponsible environment that now exists in many luxury watch social media channel accounts.The "Watch Amish" name is first and foremost a humorous retort to "Watch Anish," a luxury watch lifestyle and fashion channel on Instagram started by Mr. Anish Bhatt as a way of combining his clever visual talents and appreciation of

moving from an explorer 2 to a seamaster gmt...
preface: i like rolex watches. i own a few of them. i like them all.i gifted a white exp2 (superluminova SEL 3186) to my dad and he likes it.my wife bought a black exp2 (superluminova also) and wears it on a strap as her wrists are too small - she likes it too.until recently, my beater has been a white exp2 (dead tritium non-SEL oysterlock) worn to hell and back.there's a myriad of reasons why i kept my exp2 in the cupboard and got the black seamaster gmt, the details of which i will explain... maybe at a later time, but it has something to do with RSC giving me a lot of grief.anyhow, i note that the seamaster gmt (SM GMT) is usually compared with the rolex gmt master 2. i thought i'd add my own impression of how it compares with an explorer 2 instead.any comments i did not make i probably don't care about (eg, the wavy black omega dial vs a glossy white rolex dial & slightly domed omega sapphire crystal vs flat rolex sapphire crystal - no difference to me as they are both legible

Aquanaut/5711 - scratch magnets?
Hi all,How does the Aquanaut and Nautilus hold up being worn daily when it comes to scratches?I am wearing my GMT Master as a daily at present as I can't cope with how easily my AP Royal Oak Chrono picks up scratches. It's not had much wrist time since the honeymoon period when I bought it in November due to living in fear of catching it when worn! Kind of thinking of moving it on for one of the above, but would like to hear whether it will be out of the frying pan and into the fire. Has anyone had both an AP and Patek in stainless, and found one more durable than the other? Maybe I should just get over my scratch OCD but easier said than done

Pam 739.... Opinions
Good day all, I never considered Panerai watches before, nothing from their line captured my heart. I am a hard core rolex and patek fan. Yesterday I passed by Panerai boutique and thought why not go and check the watches. And he showed it to me The PAM 739 due with open case back and skeleton movement and micro rotor. Love at first sight. That grey sunburst dial with gold markers and hands simply amazing. I was too close to buying it but thought I would take my time a bit so that I don't make impulse decision. For me the advantages of the watch are:1- slim profile 2-Beautiful dial 3- amazing movement with micro rotor 4- polished case look very classy despite being finger print magnet Disadvantages :1- pathetic water resistance in Panerai standards, 30 m only2- need continuous cleaning as finger prints make it look dirty (see below photos)3- very very big. 45 mm, on my 7 wrist it felt huge as compared to my hulk4- no complications at all. Even no date5- very expensive (14.3 k usd) for

Leaving your watch at grey dealer
Hi all, Im thinking to trade in my DJII at a grey dealer. The DJ has a chipped bezel and crown because I dropped them months ago. The dealer said they can take it for a trade in, but before they can seal the deal and come up with a proper offer for the watch, they need to send it to their watch technician so they can determine how big is the damage and figure out how to polish the bezel etc, and they need around 5-7 days for this. The dealer basically leave it up to me and ask if I'm confident enough to leave my watch with them. So my question is basically what things should I take note before I leave my watch with them incase they're going to swap it etc with maybe a fake one. I do read on another forum that some people dealt with this particular grey dealer before and no problem. But you know, better be safe then sorry ..
