The Streets Of London: Watch Hunting With A Watchmaker
Please enjoy the following article contributed by legendary watchmaker Peter Roberts of England. Peter's new self-named brand is Peter Roberts and is about to release their first watch. It is 1969 and the streets of London are still swinging. As a young horology student, at Hackney Technical College, I am wondering where I will be able to get my hands on some top quality watches for practice. Surprisingly, owners of fine watches are not willing to risk their precious timepieces to an impecunious, novice watchmaker like myself.As soon as I was old enough to roam free, I discovered the wonderful delights of exploring London on foot, putting real life memories and images to those evocative, Monopoly Board Game street names.Now of course, I found the Kings Road, Carnaby Street and Soho, enjoyed the Royal Parks, and in the summer months, the unfeasibly short mini-skirts. But I had, and still have, this obsession �C watches �C so these three expensive (on the Monopoly board) streets, Oxford St

Pam 676 inbound...don't be a hater!
By now I've read every opinion about this watch and heard all the griping about the 30m water resistance. This didn't concern me. Its the aesthetics and the size that drove my decision. That and a trusted seller offered it up full kit, AD purchase at 31% off retail...you do the math. I would not have walked into an AD store and paid the $7300 +tax they were asking.Yes I understand the whole History of Panerai and the legacy as a dive watch.

Frankly IMHO, the SD is one of the best pieces Rolex ever made.So back to the Pam 676. I was looking to fill a hole in my small collection with a dressy-ish/sporty-ish watch. that didn't look like I was wearing a compass on my wrist.SO...what I want t

New PAM 104 incoming
Got my 104 finally yesterday! Very happy about it. Now, I am very content with my collection, and guess it should be tight for at least a few years. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1426204231.185483.jpg

Photoshop Request: Hulk on a denim band
We all know the hulk's beautiful green dial/bezel is also what makes it tough to match on anything besides a brown leather strap (imo). I noticed Horus Straps make a denim-style band (shown below), and I think they'd match quite well, preferably the darker one. The yellow stitching might clash a bit. Anyone have any pics of such a combo, or could try shopping one to see what it would look like?Thanks!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
