Moon watch - careful usage
Call me difficult, but I would like to point out the loose usage of this term by numerous sellers on TRF.May I respectfully request that this term be reserved for reference to the Omega Speedmaster Professional watches only? If it's an automatic you're talking about, it simply can't be a moon watch.Some purists might urge that this term reference only models like the 145.012 and 105.012. However, omega itself refers to both vintage and current Speedmaster Professional watches, ie 3570.50, as moon watches.My impression is that it helps prevent misunderstandings if we agree on the definition of terms. What do you think?

Do You Like the Nautilus 40th Pieces now decent pictures are out?
Simple question: Do you like the Nautilus 40th Anniversary Pieces now real pictures have been posted rather than the factory shots which have so divided the watch community?I have started this thread simply because there was a pretty universal dislike to some aspects of the 40th Nautilus models which now that actual watches have been seen has changed considerably. Some of the biggest detractors have now placed or are considering placing orders!Please have a look at the following pictures before placing your vote, these were all taken by a Patek client of actual production watches and no editing has taken place. It seems to be universally accepted by those who have seen the pieces that the diamond indices are actually very discreet and well thought out and that the 40th anniversary wording far from standing out as it did in the factory photographs actually blends very well into the background in most situations.https://youtu.be/l3YNMznjo-Yhttps://youtu.be/qSQz-LdRnrc

Patek History
Hello TRF!,It has been a while since I've posted on here. Have to get back into the habit!I wondered if you all may be able to help me with a question. A friend of mine inherited a PP 3800 from his grandfather but was never told the value of the watch. he didn't realize what he had until it stopped working and he had to send it in for a rather expensive service, via his local AD, around 4 years ago.He did not wear it much after that, but when he thought of selling it he took it out of the drawer and it wasn't working again. Sent it back to Patek via the AD and did another full service. Not being a watch person, he's ready to get rid of it due to the service expense.I am considering buying the watch from him but thought it would be interesting to have the history of the watch. I have heard stories where Patek was able to dig into their archives and pull old papers from the watch, where it was purchased, service history, etc. Thought it would be neat to have all of that on a vintage piec

Normal?? My GMT-Master II currently running ten days behind!
I must admint... I hate adjusting the date on both Pepsi and BLNR after a few days of not wearing them. The thought of rotating the hour hand two full rotations to advance the date by 1 day, and then to repeat this over and over to catch up to say 10 days later... I feel like I am doing this to the watch and putting extra wear and tear by fast forwarding the hour hand that normally forwards slowly. Yesterday I picked up 16710 to wear it and the date said '2'. I thought meh.... close enough to 12! and just set the time and wound it a bit and put it on.So technical watchmakers and professional watch rotators of experience: what say you? Should I be worried about clicking forward many days in one shot, done perhaps two - three times a month? Or should I just ignore the date and refer to my iphone for that info???
