Two New Panerai Watches Feature Linear Equation-of-Time Function
Panerai added a new complication to its lineup at SIHH 2015, and it did so in a very Panerai way: the brand’s first Equation of Time function debuts in both a new Radiomir 1940 and Luminor 1950 watch, represented on the dial by a linear scale. Scroll down to read more on the new watches, both of which boast an eight-day power reserve.The equation of time, a sophisticated astronomical complication that measures the difference between mean time and solar time (and explained in more detail here), is the signature function of Panerai’s new P.2002/E caliber, a manual-winding movement based on Caliber P.2002, the brand’s first in-house movement that debuted in 2005. The movement, with a diameter of 13 3/4 lignes, stores a power reserve of eight days in its three spring barrels.Caliber P.2002/E powers both new Panerai watches, the Panerai Radiomir 1940 Equation of Time 8 Days Acciaio (PAM00516), with a 48-mm case, and the Panerai Luminor 1950 Equation of Time 8 Days Acciaio

CE delimma
Hello fellow WIS's,I decided to get a 44 and now between 2 options: - keep CE dive,r that I really like, and get the ti 44- let go of the CE diver and get the 44 CE (will probably have to pay $9K or so on top)I'm torn between the ti and the CE. Both are good in their own way. Love the descrete yet eye catching CE and also love the pop of the ti and the grey theme. What would you do? I would love to have both but that's. It possible unfortunately.

Making It Fit........The Bracelet.
Omega uses pins to hold the bracelet together. To confound this, the nice clasp they provide does not have any micro-holes for adjustment..But you can do it:First you need a couple of simple tools. Either a bracelet pin removal tool...orA pin punch the approximate diameter (smaller) of the pins.A small hammer to tap the pin out.A pair of small pliers to pull out and insert the pin.Something like this:Looking at the links from the backside, some small arrows can be seen etched in the removable links. The pins are pushed out in the direction of the arrows.Place the bracelet in a padded vice, or hold sturdily on a piece of padded wood....or two with a small space between for the pin to have room to come out. After the pin is started out, it can be pulled the rest of the way with the pliers. This photo shows two pins partially out.Here we see the parts. You will notice we have two full links and one 1/2 link. The other parts are the locking tube and the pin. This photo also shows th

To try on a 5712R In LA/Vegas.... Sigh...
Hey Team,So got to Vegas... saw the 5712 in SS... and as GORGEOUS as it is... didnt ROCK my world! I guess seeing as I have 3x other relatively nice SS Watches.. could be the reason. Tried on the ROSE GOLD 5980 and LOVED IT! BUT.... I think it was more the Rose Gold.. than the Chrono.. and cannot get past the $20k premium for a complication I'll never use.So I think its down to the 5712R... problem is NO one has it in stock to try on... so I guess my question is does anyone have one in the Vegas/LA Region to which I could try on? (From the boards) Happy to buy you lunch ect or a Dealer that might have one?The Other thing im tossing up is the full Rose Gold 15202 AP.. ultra thin movt... solid 18kt Rose Gold on the board here for $39k... Tried on the Black dial AP 41mm and it was nice.. but too big.. im sure the 39mm will be more my sizeSo yes.. thats my attempt.. throwing it out to the Boards.. if anyone has one I could see in the flesh before making this substantial investment!Cheers G
