A Week On The Wrist: The Hanhart Pioneer TachyTele
Hanhart is a company with an extraordinarily long history, and one which has seen it through a tremendous number of ups and downs. My first encounter with the company was in the pages of a watch magazine back in 1997, when the company debuted a very faithful reproduction of a watch it had first made in 1939 – a pilot's chronograph, with two registers, and a distinctive, asymmetric disposition of the chronograph pushers; the re-set button was a vivid red. The watch had tons of vintage charm; the original used an in-house movement Hanhart had developed for it, called simply the caliber 40, and the collectability of the original models did a lot to make them something of an enthusiast's darling. Though Hanhart was known to watch enthusiasts at that point, primarily for its vintage pilot's watches from the 1930s and 1940s, it also has for many decades – and is right up to the present – primarily a maker of mechanical stopwatches, having pioneered the manufactu

Seamaster Part Number Help
Hey guys, just picked up the PO Titanium 42mm on a bracelet (ref. 232.90.42.21.03.001) and wanted to get the rubber strap and the titanium clasp from ref. 232.92.42.21.03.001 so I can change up the look once in a while. I've been trying to hunt down the part numbers so I can order from Ofrei since they'll probably come in way cheaper than the boutique but have had very little luck. Anyone have any suggestions on how I would be able to look these up? Tried going to the boutique, they offered to order them for me but wouldn't give me the part numbers. Thanks for the help.

Do I deserve a Rolex?
This year I have big plans. 1) Marry my girl. 2) Try to save a bit more for retirement (my 20s were crazy) and 3) finally buy a Rolex. I'm in my late 30s (good lord I still feel like a kid) I have a decent job that I like, but that can be a bit unpredictable. I've finally come to a point, through hardwork and luck, to be able to make some moves. But I just don't know if I can justify a purchase this hefty. When did you think you were ready? When did you think you could pull the trigger, financially or otherwise? I've been explicitly saving for a Rolex for about 8 months, with probably another 4-6 months of saving left to do.FYI I'm looking at Subs 114060, 116610, Explorer 214270, or Datejust 116234. Any insights from the older (or younger) and wiser?
