Melbourne Watch Co Portsea Review
When I reviewed the Melbourne Flinders some time ago, I was pleasantly surprised by the subtleties of the design and quality manufacturing. So, I was very excited last summer when they announced they were coming out with the Portsea, a playful variation on the Marine Chronometer style. I wasn't the only one either, as their Kickstarter campaign for the watch raised just over $100k, nearly triple what they had asked for.What struck me about the Portsea is that it wasn't just another Marine watch, it really took the concept into a unique direction and used a cool movement, the Miyota 9120. By using this movement, Melbourne got to design around having a triple-calendar function, which added more complexity to the typically time only genre. The dial they came up with, which I'll dig into below, has an ingenious design, adding depth and texture where it is usually absent.

26320OR vs 26470OR vs 26401RO

Need help identifying older women's model
This was a gift from my grandfather to grandmother passed down to my parents and now they're giving it to me. Until recently I had no idea that this was in my parents safety deposit box and they didn't give the watch much thought. They don't have any of the original papers or box. As far as my dad remembers it was given to my grandma in the 50s but that's just on memory. They also don't know where it was purchased, but I'm assuming somewhere in the pnw or west coast but I could be wrong. Any help here would be appreciated. I'm going to reach out to my local AD but figured I'd post it here too.

Speedy and beach :)
Vacation is going great!

Rolex watches - removed from circulation
As time progresses and Rolex continues to crank out more watches, how many or how often do you think any of them get removed from circulation? As a prestigious brand so widely known throughout the world, it is no coincidence they are highly regarded, well kept, stored in safe places, and not too often disposed of.....
