Should Watch Makers Advertise The Accuracy Of Mechanical Watches?
Research a car, and you'll know its mileage and 0-60 time. Buy a phone, and you'll get information about estimated battery life and how much memory it has. Buy a watch, and you'll rarely have any information as to how accurate it is supposed to be. Of course, anyone can take in their watch to a watchmaker and have its rate results tested or use a device they purchase on their own, but why is it that more watch companies don't make it a point of pride to advertise how accurate their watches are?Installing a balance wheel and upper tourbillon cageBefore I begin a longer conversation on this topic, I want to make it clear that there are some rather compelling reasons why watch makers do not make estimates on accuracy or how well their timepieces will perform �C and I'll get to that in more detail a bit later.

The 15300 - Size?
I'm thinking about upgrading my 36mm Royal Oak to the 39mm 15300.But I'm not sure about the size!

Vintage Omega Seamaster DeVille - Winder
Hi all,I just got my grandfather's Seamaster back from the Omega Boutique in NYC after a full restore - no polish. Watch looks amazing and proud to be wearing for many reasons. I'd like to keep it on a winder and was curious if anyone knew the appropriate TPD and direction? Judging by the inscriptions on the back is dated 1971, retirement gift from the city. Omega wrote what I believe is the serial # 10517XX but not 100% positive that is the actual SN. Picture attached. The in-house watchmaker at the boutique gave an answer of four hours that was no help.Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

extra links for speedy pro
I just bought a 3572.50 and need one more link to make it fit perfect. Is the best place to get these Offrei? I can find 2, 3 digit numbers on the bracelet, but cannot find the 4 digit that offrei needs. Maybe I need to get a magnifying glass. Also, how many removable links should my bracelet have? Mine has 3 on each side. Thanks

Which would be a good first Panerai?
I've always liked Panerai but have never owned one. Which would be a good first one? I do like the white as it is a little different. The 1499 has really jumped out at me! Does Panerai lose value? They seem to be selling at quite a discount from retail. Thoughts would be appreciated!!
