GMT Watch Stop Woes
My Seamaster GMT Co-Axial (cal:2628) doesn't appear to auto wind. It winds OK by hand and keeps accurate time but will not maintain power on the watchwinder or by wearing. Just stops when power reserve is low(after stopping and starting for a while). It's around 3 years old. Looks like it will need to go to the service centre. I was wondering though if it only requires a normal service or if there is something more wrong. Appreciate any comments.

Patek Philippe is a dish best served cold
Many years ago, my wife and I were touring some out of town friends around NYC. We went into the Tiffany store (which I'd never have done) and ended up at the Patek Philippe boutique (really more of a museum) on the second floor. Among all the elaborate beauties, I was struck by a very simple white gold 5196. My wife encouraged me to try it on, and we had a nice long conversation with the sales associate, who after all was said and done, wrote down the particulars on Tiffany card. Our friends thought we were nuts for even talking about such a purchase, and i found it slightly embarrassing. My wife made a big point of taking the card and folding it once in half, and putting it in her purse. She said very confidently, I love that watch, it's much more elegant than the big chunky ones you usually wear (ouch). You shouldn't have it now, but I'll buy it for you for your 40th birthday. Then we went to dinner and I mostly forgot all about it for years and years (although who can ever really

Which bracelet Patek?
Hi guys,I am considering adding a PP with bracelet (white gold or stainless steel) to compliment my little collection and I need your help deciding this. I'm aware that the ones I listed below have irrelevant pricings.The candidates are ;1. 5711AWhat I like about this watch that it's so simple and thin and it being a timeless model. The only one without any complications on my list, but one of my favourite actually. Price is much better than the others listed below, too.2. 5712AComplication. Not much more expensive than 5711A with the complication.3. 5130/1GPrecious metal and world time. But some time (not very far) later, I'm definitely in the market for a 5131 (not sure if for a G or J yet), so that could bring this guy down in the list. Actually precious metal is an important factor since I'm not going to be in the market for another bracelet PP any time soon, so my only one in WG would be nice. If there was a 5712G with bracelet... :)4. 5980/1AThis can easily be my favourite. But t

5712 vs. 5726: movement noise, case thickness
Planning my first PP purchase, been doing some essential reading but have a question for those who are more familiar with the specific models.1. Case thickness:5711 - somewhere around 8.5mm (but stand to be corrected)5712 - ditto 9.5mm5726 - ditto 11.6mm (reportedly almost identical to that of a contemporary Daytona)As I am looking to get a sleek and light watch, the debate is how light or not the 5712 and the 5726 wear.I've tried the 5712 (gold TT case and leather band), so I wonder how the 5726 compares to that. Having a Daytona I'm trying to imagine for a comparison but any brief opinions would be welcome.FYI I've tried the 5980 (steel of course) and it's too bulky for me.2. Movement noise:Been reading a number of pertinent threads for these models and saw members like Kevin ('yessir69') but also David ('perpetualman88') who have been talking about the 240 micro rotor movement of the 5712 which is ...virtually silent in comparison... with the non-micro rotor movement of the 5726.Sam
