The Panerai 1940 3 Days Ceramica
In addition to three new releases last month, Officine Panerai has released the new Radiomir 1940 3 Days Ceramica, 48 mm PAM00577, which was inspired by historical watches from the 1930s. The new black ceramic case adds a contemporary flair to this otherwise minimalist design.The black matte ceramic cushion-form case is more durable and lightweight than ever before. It is a high performing material that is resistant to scratches and high temperatures. The black sandwich dial features simple Super LumiNova dot and dagger indexes that are clearly visible under water. Additionally, the dial features a relief image of the Silura a Lenta Corsa, or human torpedo, in commemoration of Panerai's involvement with the Italian Navy in the 1930s. 1 OF 2 The P.3000 manual-winding movement is created at the Panerai manufacturer in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The movement features a jumping hour hand when adjusting the time – without interfering with the running of the watch

I kinda like my Speedy without a bezel.
Interesting, isn't?

Introducing the all new 729 titano
So.... my wife and are on vacation and Florence is the last stop. Of course, we HAVE to stop into the Panerai boutique to see what's what.What do you all think? Just released last week and not on the web site as of yet . The 729 is a 45 45mm titanium duo model.Some may not be fans of the new case size or the movement, but it feels like velvet on the wrist. Should I? The delimea is that one must go and it would have to be the D blue or the Sd43. I need to hang on to one Rolex though . . Price is 10700 e ....Pictured next to my 690. I'm so sorry but I didn't get the defence number but the reference with the silver dial is 13500 E with a rise gold movement . Again new in the last week. So should I???Sent from my SM-G935W8 using Tapatalk

Current Rolex and keeping up with inflation.
Gents (and Ladies),We all know Rolex is not necessarily an investment. But does it beat or keep up with inflation? Obviously, this is a broad question and there are endless models ranging from vintage to current models. I wanted to get a sense when one buys a Rolex, does one feel that with time they will at least get back what they paid for the watch and more?I feel this is more applicable in current times with people referring to the stock market as an 'asset bubble' and bonds and savings accounts offering meek returns. It has been advised to keep precious metals (ie. gold, silver) in the range of 5-10% n their portfolio. Would jewlery such as a Rolex be a worthwhile 'investment' as a storehouse of wealth?Thanks in advance.
