The Sotirio Bvlgari Annual Calendar
To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the opening of their first store in Rome, Bvlgari is launching a line of watches bearing the founder's name, Sotirio Bvlgari. Each watch in the line shares distinctive design elements. The cases are produced by Bvlgari Group member Finger, which has been making watch cases since 1898. The case lugs are the signature feature, integrated into the caseback at converging angles that provide high tensile strength despite a small contact area with the case. The 42mm case includes a display back. Crowns contain the SB monogram. The high-quality hand-worked dials are produced by Cadrans Design, another Bvlgari Group subsidiary. Buckles are also produced by a group member, Prestige d'Or.Beneath the dial on this model is a BVL 360 Caliber automatic winding annual calendar with a 225�� retrograde date hand. The movement, produced by Vaucher for Bvlgari, has a hand-decorated plate and bridges with an original biaxial c?tes de Gen��ve and a traits tires treatme

Panerai sub 00024 bezel marker loose
Hi folks, recently picked up a k serial pam00024.Watch runs great, bezel is really tight (which is surprising - contrary to a lot of user reports that bezel is usually loose and clunky) However I noticed on the rotating bezel - the 15 / 30 / 45 minutes dot marker is a bit loose. They kind of move a bit when you touch it, but not majorly loose. Is this normal? Should this be glued on in case the marker falls out ?I've seen some pic of the markers rotated into various positions. Seems to be a common problem on these bezels
