Panerai Novelties SIHH 2015
For 2015, Officine Panerai goes back again to its roots as a historic supplier of instruments for the Italian navy and releases a quartet of new iterations on popular models as well as one reissue from the heritage collection. Coverage of the first model, the most complicated one: Radiomir 1940 with equation of time, deserved separate coverage and can be found in a separate post. The remaining model iterations constitute three Panerai Luminor Submersible watches, one Panerai Radiomir, and one special novel reissue. First, three new models of the Panerai Luminor Submersible 1950 with flyback chronograph function. These maintain the large 47mm case size that somehow still wears small due to short lugs.

Advice on how to deal with this service story
Nov 15/17 took my 36mm datejust in to an ex AD to have it sent off to Rolex for service. Dec 16, got a call from the ( ex dealer) that Rolex service center had received the watch and decided a dial and crown service were needed. I OK'd the repairs. 5 weeks Jan 25, later the ex dealer called to say that Rolex required payment to send the watch back. Total $1950 and the watch would be shipped back to them in two days as Rolex sends everything 2nd day. Payment was made on Jan 25, still no watch as of Feb1. Called ex dealer and got this response: Rolex serviced the watch and it should be back Feb 7th. WTF!This little journey has stopped my interest in a Daytona, or Rolex period. Any opinions as to how much is Rolex and how much the ex dealer in this scenario? First time I have ever had a problem with servicing....

Advice purchasing a 2006 Rolex GMT Master II 16710
Hello all I was looking into purchasing a GMT Master II 16710, I managed to find a D serial with full box and papers, from a dealer I trust, the overall condition looks great with some light dings. I have bought from this dealer before and they have proven to be very trustworthy.The dealer has informed me that the watch has been lightly polished in the past but nothing too major, I'd just like your advice on weather this watch has been over polished or is in good condition for its �7950 ($8690) price tag.Thank you all again in advance for your help!Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
