Aqua Terra 8500 crown
I have an Aqua Terra 8500 that I recently purchased. When I screw the crown down it feels very tight, but when I unscrew the crown it is easy. If feels like when I screw down the crown the movement is being wound also. On the other hand I have a Planet Ocean with the 2500 movement and it is smooth and easy both tighten and un tighten the crown. I put some KT22 lubrication on the crown threads and that did not seem to make a difference. Is this just a characteristic of the Aqua Terra and the 8500 movement or could there be problems. ThanksJohn

Which Nautilus to really balance out the collection?
Hi All,As you can see, my current collection consists of a '68 Omega Speedmaster Professional (Transitional), Patek Philippe Annual Calendar, Pre-ceramic Rolex GMT Master II, Vacheron Constantin Patrimony, and currently a Panerai Luminor 1950 3-day automatic. Since getting my AC and Patrimony, I have found that the PAM is just too big and heavy to be comfortable so am now considering to flip it and buy a Nautilus. Many of the pictures that I have seen of that watch tend to make it look quite big as well but I recently had a chance to try it on and was amazed at how comfortable it wears on the wrist. It can also be dressed up better than the PAM. I am convinced this is the way to go but am now debating between the 5711 blue, 5711 white, or the 5712. The 5711 blue seems to be the iconic watch (and I have seen numerous polls here to suggest that is the better choice) but I also really like the look of the white as well. Similarly, I like the complication of the 5712 and the hints of r

Come to Papa��.
Well I thought my 5712 would be my one and only Patek, how foolish of me, so I just got a second one today, not the most loved model of Nautilus on the forum, but my second favorite Patek after the 5712 and before the 5167R.Hesitated on taking the 5167R, for the diversity factor, 1 Aquanaut and 1 Nautilus, but putting 25K euros minimum which is 10K just for going from SS to RG was a little too much IMO, so I went for the complications once again and after 1 hour am very pleased, I prefer the bracelet model but since I already have a bracelet Nautilus I thought strap was a better option, now it's on the alligator strap but planning to get a dark grey rubber strap from ABP in Paris.Anyways here are some pics, sorry I'm not a very good photograph when it comes to watches, I'm much better taking pics of buildings, landscapes or people…P1000717.JPGP1000721.JPGP1000724.JPGP1000725.JPG

BARK finish on Rolex Day-Date
Remember when this was a thing?Imagine you are going to buy that old school looking watch and give it as a gift for your father.Now Imagine you're going to buy a newer, crisper watch, one that has not had the bark finish applied. Maybe even in white gold or rose gold.WHO DOES THIS BARK FINISH?Not who you think does it. Watchwerks does not. Michael Young does not.It would be a nice gift, I thank you!
