Orbita Avanti 3 Watch Winder Review
"Fancy." Was pretty much the word that came to mind after finally unwrapping the Avanti 3 from US-based watch winder maker Orbita. This isn't the first package from Orbita that I have had to wage sweet war with to open, so I know this is a trend. I have to say that if Orbita ever decided to get out of the watch winder business they would find immediate use in the "package stuff up so that no matter what, nothing will damage it" business. If the attention to detail they use when packaging their products up for delivery speaks anything about the attention to detail in their products - these products should seemingly last forever.About 30 minutes after climbing the unpackaging mountain you reach the summit and the Avanti 3 shows itself accompanied by something that is best described as that "new watch winder smell."

Just want to share this amazing video
It's a review of the 15305OR Royal Oak Skeleton by watchfinders.co.uk. A must-watch if you are an AP RG Skeleton owner. I always enjoyed this youtube channel and find the presentation very informative. It enhances my appreciation of the watches it features.For good measure, a recent shot of my seldom seen all RG 15305OR

Basel '17 Leak?
Hello fellow watch lovers,I have just been on the Patek Philippe website to look at the collection, and I noticed a new watch I haven't seen before... I know the 5719/1G-001 is discontinued as of this year. Which is why I was surprised to see a 5719/10G-010 next to it on the website. Do you think its a new piece that has accidentally been uploaded? (the watch also didn't appear in this years catalogue 2016) .patek/en/mens-watches...s/5719-10G-010Any thoughts?

Seriously....what just happened?
I'm a Panerai guy. Big. Simple. Sport. Beat up leather straps.I just got a 232. A significant watch for me. Wanted for years.So.....why is it that I can't stop thinking about a Nautilus! That case on a strap is just incredible!!!! Why?!?!?!?!?! I should have never went to that store.Ok, if you made it this far maybe you can answer a question for me.Let's say I somehow got the money for a 5711 blue/black. Can it be worn on a strap like this watch?
