Stowa Partitio Review
When one thinks of Stowa, there are a few watches that immediately spring to mind. Front and center are the iconic Fliegers, followed closely by their Marine chronometers and the Antea series. But there is another watch in Stowa's catalogue that almost never gets mentioned, overshadowed by its more popular siblings: the Partitio Klassik. The Partitio is the hidden gem of Stowa's lineup��a classically styled 3-hander that may offer their greatest value, especially given today's favorable exchange rates for American buyers. As of this writing, the Partitio is 579 EUR excluding VAT (690 EUR with), which is approximately $667 USD.The Partitio was first released in 2008, initially through the German retailer Manufactum before becoming a standard model in the brand's catalogue.

Review: Techne GosHawk (Ref. 411)

Screwdriver for 42mm Panerai
I have a new PAM 338 42mm RadiomirThe screwdrivers that I have seem to be either too small (ie not wide enough) or too thick (stick in the slot).
