Watchmaker Shares Truths About Watch Service & Repair
As an watches-dealer guest, Hugh Taylor from Xupeswatches-dealer (a pre-owned watches and luxury goods dealer in the UK) once again interviews their in-house master watchmaker, Mickey Nolan, as they talk about the often mysterious and typically expensive world of watch service and repair.

Am I getting a good deal?
After collecting for some time now I think a base model Panerai would compliment my collection nicely. I have the opportunity to buy on eBay a J serial 112 it has some scratches but the seller claims it was recently serviced. I figure I will send it to my local jeweler to get a nice polish. It doesn't come with box or papers and he wants $3,555 considering this is a watch from 2007 is this a good deal?
