Pre-SIHH: 3 New Watches from Panerai, Lange, & Jaeger-LeCoultre
Geneva’s SIHH watch fair is only a month away, and the luxury watch brands exhibiting there continue to offer sneak peeks at several of their new timepieces set to debut in 2014. This week we take a look at three new watches from Panerai, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and A. Lange & S?hne.The Panerai Luminor 1950 Left-Handed 3 Days – 47 MM (Ref. PAM00557), with its winding crown and patented crown protection device positioned at 9 0’clock on the left side of the case, recalls some of Panerai’s earliest models created for Italian naval commandos of the 1930s and 1940s. These military divers used to wear several wrist instruments at once, including compasses and depth gauges, and often preferred to wear the watch on their right wrist. The modern version of this vintage Panerai watch has a cusped caseband that distinguishes it from the traditional Luminor 1950 case and, in the historical models, represented the transition between the Radiomir and Luminor case styles.

1171/633 fitment on new speedy pro
Got a call from my local Omega store, says that they have ordered me a 1171/633 bracelet (020ST1171633).Just wondering, if there's any fitment issue, or it will need some kind of fitting in order to put the bracelet/endlink on?Because the rep from the Omega store told me that they tried, and they somehow could not get the bracelet on a new speedy pro.For reference, I have the newest Speedy pro with the large presentation box.Thanks in advance.
