BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends August 28, 2015
We begin this round-up with a feature story on watch servicing and repair. Yup, servicing and repair, two words that we watch collectors and enthusiasts?absolutely dread �C and yet, it is an?inevitable and essential part of?owning a fine watch. As sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, parts will become worn over time and oils will dry up as the days pass. The best way to deal with this, then, is understanding when and how to intervene-knowing?exactly what goes on when a watch gets serviced and what are the things that we should look out for when the time comes for us to send our watches in.Servicing aside, we are also taking a look at the history of chronographs, in particular, the monopusher kind. Today, it seems that brands are keen to impress us by communicating how?monopushers are somehow superior or more exclusive than your common two-pusher chronograph watch.

New Watch, same lousy photographer
I've been procrastinating. And when I finally try to upload some pictures I realize I shouldn't really be using an iphone camera.I apologize to everyone (especially those who make a real effort and raise the bar with their uploads) for the terrible photo quality and especially to the Patek Philippe company for making the 5110P look so grimy. It's a beautiful watch, especially spectacular under direct sunlight. But then it becomes extremely difficult to get a nice picture for a man with my limited talents.About the watch - the 37mm is perfect for my 6.3 inch wrist. Platinum is unlike stainless steel or gold. You will appreciate it when you see it in person. The dial is crystal clear and sharp (you wouldn't believe it with these photos, ask Descartes if you don't believe me), and I think the watch is wasted under long sleeves. I'm looking forward to wearing it all summer. I've actually been staring at it and watching the inner dial turning very very very slowly.
