First let me say that it is nice to sometimes read watch related content "offline." That experience will never be supplanted (fully) by the Internet. I first discovered Wristwatch Annual when I was in college. I attribute my current passion for to this book, seriously. I was browsing in a bookstore at the magazine rack, and saw this thick, nicely printed guide all about watches (for that year). Flipping through the pages I decided it would be really cool to look at, and honestly that is how ALL THIS started. 2009's version of the publication is 456 pages of pure, unadulterated w

Vintage Patek Philippe Gondolo ca 1960s
I inherited a 1965 Patek Philippe Gondolo black dial with white gold mesh bracelet from my late father about 20 years ago. When he passed away, I was still in my teens years and couldn't care less about watch so I asked my mom to keep it for me. I wore a funky Swatch and it was good enough for me. Fast forward 20 yrs later, I was on holidays with my family and stayed at my mom place. A few days ago, she was organizing her safe and stumble upon this time piece and gave it to me.

The only thing that I notice is the mold aound the edge of the dial. The white gold mesh bracelet is still good condition. I have a few questions for vintage lover out there:1. Is possible to remove the mold around the edge of the dial or better replace the whole dial. If

I recently purchased my 116710LN from Hong Kong and my fellow RSC Canadians here at Rolex Head Office Toronto have done a very good job with my watches. (As you can see with my macro shots of bracelet resizing and lug work) However, I still have another concern.My lug at 5:00 had excess metal (0.1-0.5mm) that can be seen under certain light. (Check out the inner lower right lug):https://imgur/KVRaf8DToday, I brought it to them to see what's up, and within 20 minutes, the polished the excess metal off. I was very surprised when I took out my OCD Glasses and took a look at it. The excess metal were taken off flawlessly. https://imgur/41D9QJMMy concern now is that upon further inspection, I see that the inside of the lug (where the Solid Endlinks Meet the Lug) has a micro chip, probably related to the excess metal at the 5:00 lug. It can really be seen when the solid endlinks are pushed do
