Panerai Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica
The case on the new Luminor 1950 10 Days GMT Ceramica is made of zirconium oxide ceramic, a very hard material that is resistant to corrosion and scratching. The case is formed using an isostatic pressure process that produces a single block ready for milling. The 44mm case requires over 60 operations to complete. The screw-down back is titanium with a sapphire window opening onto the P.2003 automatic movement. The movement – designed and manufactured in-house by Officine Panerai – offers a 10 day power reserve, the status of which is displayed via a linear display on the trademark sandwich dial. This reference PAM00335 will be produced in a limited series of 500 pieces with a European MSRP of 12,900 euros. The launch is scheduled for September 10.Additional information appears below the image, which may be enlarged with a click.LUMINOR 1950 10 DAYS GMT CERAMICA �C 44 MMMovement: Automatic mechanical, Panerai P.2003 caliber, executed entirely by Panerai, 13? lignes, 8.0 mm t

First luxury watch at age 19
I'm turning 19 in a couple of weeks and I am getting ready to purchase my first luxury watch, after many years of being a gigantic watch enthusiast. I was originally set on the Submariner but to be completely frank, I am put off by the idea of wearing a Rolex watch at my age. I feel like a Speedmaster would be much more fitting for a young man, since it does not scream rich and spoiled yuppie the way the Submariner might. Should I buy a Speedmaster and save the Submariner for when I am older and more mature, or should I just get the Sub now? I would love to get your opinions. Thank you so much

Photos of my watches part 1
At last I have all the Photographic gear needed to start taking proper photos of my beloved watch collection. I have been asked by Forum members to show photos of my watches and thought I would start with the Speedmaster Opollo-Soyuz Meteorite as there has been threads on this watch recently. Its not an easy one to photograph due to the texture of the dial. The others in my collection should be a lot easier I hope. Alan

Does anyone have an Aquanaut on a steel bracelet?
Pictures? What are your thoughts on steel vs. rubber strap for looks and comfort?

Rolex 1665 Replacement Crystal
Hi I have a 1665 sea dweller with the original acrylic crystal. It has a ton of scratches. Options are to replace or buff. If I replace at Rolex, does anyone know whether the replacement crystals are distinguishable from the originals?
