Ancon M26 Tank Hands-On
You shouldn’t name a watch after a war machine without being pretty sure it lives up to it. Luckily, that’s not an issue with the Ancon M26 Tank, which is amongst the largest and beefiest watches we’ve had the pleasure of testing out. As with the Sea Shadow we looked at previously, the Tank is a hodge-podge of referential designs in a massive case that is meant to aesthetically emote mid century military machines. Whether a battleship or a tank, these watches are low on subtly and high on style, mixing raw materials and dark colors to make something unapologetically masculine and fun to wear. For a big ass bronze watch with a domed sapphire crystal and a Miyota 9015 movement, the Ancon M26 Tank is also decently priced at $839.Case: CuSn8 BronzeMovement: Miyota 9015Dial: GreenLume: YesCrystal: Domed Sapphire CrystalStrap: Italian Leather + CanvasWater Res.: 200MDimensions: 45 x 56mmThickness: 13 – 17 mmLug Width: 26mmCrown: Screw down 8 x 5mmWarranty: YesWeight:

1st Patek Philippe purchase dilemma!
An avid vintage Rolex collector, I want to add a PP to my collection and have narrowed the choice down to two watches, unfortunately I can't afford both! The first for which I'm currently on an AD's waiting list for, is the soon to be released 5960/1A, the other and it would be stretching my budget to the limit, is the 5170G-001. Both have their pluses and minuses, the 5960/1A is automatic wind (a convenience), has a day, date and month display (plus) but no seconds sub dial (minus). The 5170G is manual wind (less convenient), no date display (minus), a seconds sub dial (plus) and is of precious metal (a nice extra). My thoughts are, am I getting more watch for my outlay in the 5960/1A compared with the 5170G or is the movement of the latter the crowning jewel for which I should be appreciating it. Both are chronographs which is what I'm after yet different in their presentation though appealing in equal amounts. I had originally dismissed the 5170G purely on price hence the 5960/
